Bodies. There were so many of them, cold and lifeless, staring up at her with unseeing eyes. They had all just lain down and stopped. They had stopped eating, sleeping, breathing. Everything.

All that remained were their still decaying corpses. In some cases, such as the bodies inside the building complex, they were remarkably preserved making it that more disturbing. They were dead, but still, they talked to her.

They told her things, got inside her head, showing her memories that weren’t her own. They pressed on her mind and wouldn’t let go.

They wanted the truth to come out.

Good, but creepy. Is this fic related to the movie?

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Thanks, yeah it's related to the movie. I should've put a spoiler warning on it actually. Thought I'd done that already..

[beth-soprano.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't mind spoilers. Most of the time they don't make sense anyways, especially when they're from producers/writers. And if it's a spoiler, it's canon, so why should it matter?

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Good good. I understand people not wanting spoilers for the exact reason you put there. It's canon. It's what's going to happen in the series. Sometimes it's nicer to be surprised and go in not knowing what'll happen.
