The cracked windowpane offered a jagged frame for the hunt. Below, in the choked green silence of the suburb gone wild, *he* moved. Not like the shamblers, not like the pack hunters.

It glistened faintly in the weak light, slick with the potent corruption he spread – the fluid that seeded nightmares in the wombs of the unwilling. My finger found the rifle's cold trigger guard. Target acquired.
