Silence is broken only by the groans of the dead. I appear behind you, my hand silencing your gasp as my other arm pins you against my torso. Minutes of tense stillness pass, my breath on your neck, my grip unyielding. Once the horde shuffles past, you twist and break free from my hold, panting in the dark.
