Caleb dropped a couple more cubes of sugar into the pitch coffee. He took a good sip, when the radio caught his attention. His head snapped up. He took the radio and slightly turned up the volume.

the radio continued.
'Here's one of our in-depth reporters, Charlie Fraley. Charlie, how is it up there in Minnesota?'
'It's a disaster. The people here are spreading it to Canada, as to be expected, but the snow here has gotten so bad due to global warming and other climate changes, that, if you take a step, you can accidentally step on a PILE of these things.'
'Okay. Now, Trent McFarland, how's Florida?'
'It's horrible, Alex. I'm standing here in front of D!sneyworld, Miami, and there are children who've died while on the rides, children who've infected each other, children who've infected the staff...'
Silence, and then the panel of main news reporters gasp.
'Look, the mother's there, too! She's underneath them... oh, no, she's rotting inside out!
'Please, Alex!'
'But look, Susan, theres a huge hole in her stomach covered in blood...'
Moé drank more of her coffee.
"I-I'm hoping this is a faux-broadcast or story... Like War of the Worlds..."

Caleb stood suddenly. His eyes looked to the front door. He dashed over to it, he grabbed the handle, twisting it, the door swung open. He choked on his own soul as he saw something he feared. Right out of the door, after the walkway, a brown haired man screamed as several others ripped at him. One of the abnormal man fingers pierced into the man's forehead. The hand pulled back, the top of man's head popped, a mixture of hair, blood, and grey matter began to pour out. The cannibal began to feast on the fresh kill. Bile climbed up the throat of Caleb. The thing looked at the doctor with a ravaging look in its eyes. It ran towards him, slumped over. Caleb sent his right arm forward, a pair of shears flew out and sunk into the knee cap of the beast. The scissors closed and a loud crunch rang out. The creature let out an abnormal cry, meeting the ground and only a few inches away from Caleb. It dragged closer to him. He left foot rose and impacted into the skull of it. The head exploded, covering the ground and Caleb's shoe with blood, flesh, and bone. Blood gushed out like a morbid fountain.

Moé saw this, and then held up her hand.
"Excuse me. I'm going to go throw up."
She left for about ten minutes, and then came back, avoidingg the sight of the pile on the ground.
"How many do you think are here...?"

"Enough to matter." Caleb walked outside of the house. "We need to get some supplies." Two curved bladed knives fell into his hands.

Moé nodded.
"I can put them in a hammerspace, so we don't have to carry them..."
She ran upstairs, and a moment later came downstairs.
"I hammerspaced my belongings."

Caleb began walking, looking around, he was unsure what the hell was going on. Though, this all seemed to familiar, like a creeping nostalgia. A bloody scream came from behind him. He swung around, one of the knives leaving his hand and entered the head of the beast. It landed with a sicking sound. The monster groaned in pain before falling forward, the knife piercing completely threw the back of the skull when the butt of the knife touched the pavement. "...Haste!" Caleb said, his voice stern and harsh as he looked as his student.

"So you don't want to bring anythign else? I brought money... though I doubt that'll do us any good..."

"I don't need anything else." Caleb replied. "....Nothing I don't have currently with me, though there are necessities I do need." Caleb looked back at her. "...Where is the closest hardware store?"

Caleb turned and dashed in that direction. Scanning the ground, he found an abandoned steel pipe. He picked it up with his free hand. His eyes darted back and forth as he ran.

Moé had to portal-blip to keep up with him.
She stayed silent, not wanting to disturb him.

Caleb ran towards the store. Looking towards his left, something caught his eyes, a group of about 6 of the savages ran towards him. He threw the knife at the foes and latched onto the handle to the door of the store. It swung open and a screaming voice came out. Caleb swung the pipe, which landed into jaw of the animal, spitting flesh and bone and knocking the lower half of the mouth clean off. He thrusted the pipe forward, it sunk into the skull of the creature. It fell backwards and Caleb kicked the pipe backwards, causing the head to burst.

Moé watched in awe, though half of her wihsed she hadn't. That pancake was not translating well through her body because of this...
Thankfully, none of them seemed to notice her, as she technically had the brain of a dog and was thhusly not a good target. [[so that Moe doens't become a damsel in distress, yay. and it saves caleb some trouble.]]

Caleb looked around. He began to read the signs above the aisles. Another creature ran at him. He gave a stern kick into its chest. Blowing it back, he threw a small black bottle at it. It broke on the creature and it was engulfed in black flames as it was roasted alive.
