some good. He had been stagnant in his home since the arrival of his guests. Or rather the two people he found and helped. There was something strange about them, they claimed to not know anything. Hinted that they were in some sort of experiment that had them sleep for decades. To Rusty, they were either very clever and creative, or they were telling the truth.
    The fact that they went into Wrecker territory told him a lot.
    No one knowingly goes into Wrecker World.
    He liked John and Meredith. Although John seemed stuffy, he was a nice guy. Rusty hoped they wouldn’t leave. If indeed they just woke up from some sort of refrigerator cooling system, they weren’t prepared for the world. The fact that they had been attacked and violently sexually violated told Rusty that. Had it not been for them needing to meet their friends, Rusty would have encouraged them to stay. Learn a little of the new world.
    As they went their separate ways, in complete opposite directions, Rusty kept looking over his shoulder to the odd sun mobile they rode. In his mind, he wished them luck just one more time.
    About twenty minutes into his journey, maybe about ten miles, he spotted it. The sun beat squarely down at Rusty casting a haze over his vision. He tipped his hat to shade his sight and pulled on the reins to lower the speed.
    “Well, look at that,” Rusty said as he neared the figure on the road.
    The person walked slowly, nearly staggering, but by the size of him, Rusty knew, even from a distance it was a Wrecker.
    Wreckers had eye problems and didn’t see well at all in the sun. Hence, Rusty believed, why he staggered.
    He was a huge son of a bitch, Rusty thought, bigger than most he had seen.
    What was he doing out not only in the day, but in an area not quite dirty, dusty and dead, like Wrecker Land? Maybe he was in the shade, trying to make his way. Lost.
    Whatever the case, Wreckers were dangerous. Rusty didn’t worry about being hurt. Even with a bad knee and hip, he could dart out of the way. Especially on the open road under a bright clear sky.
    Another pull of the reins, the horse ‘neighed’ and the Wrecker stopped, then looked around. His hand was on his stomach and the other reached out.
    The Wrecker made some sort of noise. As if he were calling out.
    It carried to Rusty, louder and stronger as the Wrecker stood in one place waving out his extended hand.
    Was he thinking he was gonna attack? If Rusty didn’t know any better, he would have sworn the Wrecker was trying to get help.
    But Rusty knew better.
    He reached behind him for his cross bow and made sure it was loaded and ready to go. Rusty needed one shot, one shot only, but even as good of a shot as he was, he had to get closer. The sun distorted his vision.
    “Easy boy,” Rusty said to the horse and stepped from the cart.
    The Wrecker didn’t move.
    “What are you doing in these parts?” Rusty asked.
    The Wrecker reached out.
    “Can’t see me to attack. Can you now?”
    Another groan and again, the Wrecker swung out.
    Rusty was about fifteen feet away, but in order to make it a clean shot, one that would kill, he had to get closer. Just as he hit a distance of eight feet, he raised the weapon, prepared to fire, when the Wrecker, just dropped to the ground.
    Was it some sort of ploy? Rusty still planned on killing him and lowered his aim. He would have killed him had the Wrecker not started to shake. His body convulsed slightly and the Wrecker coughed. He coughed in a choking manner.
    “What the hell?” Rusty lowered his aim, still keeping his distance.
    Once more the Wrecker reached out, then his arm dropped and he went still.
    Rusty gave it a moment in case it was a trick. When he realized the Wrecker was dead he stepped closer.
    Had the Wrecker been injured days before by John and had been wandering the whole time? Maybe he got lost and starved.
    Rusty stood closer and the second his own shadow cast over the Wrecker, he realized what happened.
    The
