"We should go," Charlie suggested, backing away as the two men began to stagger towards them. Jen nodded, white-faced, and they began to run, as quickly as they could with their backpacks still on.
"Wait!" Jen panted, as Charlie began to take hers off. "We'll need them. We can't just run forever."
Charlie frowned. Of course, Jen was right. They'd never make it to the next town, and that meant hiding somewhere.
"We can go to Salbrook," Jen suggested.
"Do you actually know the way?" Charlie countered. "Because I don't. And maybe this - this happened there too."
"Charlie I think we're in a horror movie," Jen said, half laughing and half crying. "I always wanted to be in a horror movie. But I'm not sure I want that any more."
"I know, Jen.." Charlie knew her friend was just working herself into hysterics. Somehow, though, Charlie was calm. She didn't know what was going on or what they were going to do, but she felt a kind of purpose. If Jen was going to collapse, then she would need to be strong for the both of them.
"What was it, Charlie?" Jen asked. "And - and how do we even know it was real? Maybe it's all just a hoax. We're on tv. Where are the cameras?"
