A/N I wanted to make a fic like this for a while...

It was a normal day… well as normal as it could get when the U.S. is overrun by an alien army and also being chimera ourselves…

But that's beside the point the day when as usual Dan kept bothering me… I was tired of Dan because every five feet he would stop and search the surrounding area then start moving again.

I kept telling him there is no one nearby but he kept doing it… He suddenly stopped when we saw a limp figure laying in the middle of the road as if been dropped like a doll from a great height.

"Dan" I said, "I'm pretty sure he's dead… He's not breathing… Also he's rotting so yeah been dead for a while... "

Dan just looked over than said,

"Well how about we see if he has ammo?"

I just sighed and said,

"Fine just be careful… there could be a grenade on him."

He moved to flip over the corpse when it reached up and bite into his arm which caused him to scream,

"AAHH! What the hell! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS THING!"

He proceeded to yank on it's arm which cause it to rip out of the socket and stomped the corpses head in until all movement ceased. He just stood there hyperventilating a bit then looked down at it's face. He showed some disgust then dropped the arm onto the ground.

I ran over but recoiled at the sight the face what was left of it was missing as if something tore at it.

Dan just kicked it then we headed onward toward the southeast. Dan after a while said to me,

"Alan… that thing that wasn't a grim… it was a person but he was dead… how do you explain that?"

I just shrugged then said to him,

"Listen Dan if we find more… just shoot them don't go near…"

We quickly stopped when in the distance a Goliath could be heard getting closer. I muttered under my breath,

"Oh shit…"

We glanced around for a place to hide there were a few cars but I knew that we couldn't fit in there with the cooling units on us. I was about to give up when I saw what looked like a shimmer in the air.

I nervously glanced back over at Dan then at the shimmer I grabbed his shoulder and pulled him with me into the shimmer. As we passed through it I started to get dizzy as colors faded into view briefly before snapping out of view faster and faster until I blacked out.

I regain my senses to the sound of someone screaming at me... I opened my eyes and was greeted with the sight of a revolver pointed down at me. I immediately put my hands above my head to surrender.
