Does love end at death?
Can the living love the dead?
And are the dead finally free enough to love for the first time?
For the past month, Rick had been worried about Davey. All Davey did at
night after work was sit on a balcony in the empty new dormitory wing,
smoking and staring at the city lights below. Rick knew he was staring
at the scorched black spot on the edge of Tusk that had been the gas
station, obsessing about Maggie.
When Zombie slave master Doc
Karshton told Rick they were going on a ride-along that fateful night,
Rick had welcomed the idea. Getting away from the farm and having
something to distract him might be just what Davey needed to pull him
out of his funk.
Sure, Davey had been nervous about robbing
Palaver's Tavern. It was to be his first time on a night ride and he'd
been dreading taking part in a crime, especially one that might prove
violent, but he would get over that quickly enough once he saw that it
was no big deal, and maybe the drama of it would take his mind off of
being brokenhearted, if just for an hour.
And then it all went south in an instant and they were both freaked out.
