Here Alone Page #2

red cross was handing out

the cure in bottles over

in trout run.

Turns out they were just

handing out hot chocolate

and cheese sandwiches.

And then Suzy got some sores

on her belly,

they just looked like

little circles.

You know?

Little flea bites.

And then they started

getting worse.

Started bleeding and giving

off some sort of white puss.

Two days later, she,

she attacked Liv.

She tried to rip her

apart with her bare hands.

So that's when I tied her

to the bed.

And all she did was scream.

We left her there

for a few days.

Just listening to her scream.

- You just left her?

Tied to the bed?

- In a way,

yeah.

I took a kitchen knife and,

shoved it in her ear.

And I kept on pushing

and pushing.

Until the screams stopped.

I like to think that

she forgave me, though.

That she heard me say I'm

sorry and believed it.

- Oh, my god, oh my god, no!

- Come on, you're going in!

Here we go!

Bath time.

What, I didn't even throw

you in.

- Oh my god.

- These waters aren't

even that cold.

- Oh man.

- See, it's nice.

- It looks awful.

- I don't trust you

behind me, get out of here.

- Well, I can push you.

God, are there even

any fish here?

- Law of the lake, Liv.

Where there are fishermen,

there are no fish.

- Yeah, but we're on a river.

- Rules still apply.

I went on this fishing

trip once with Matt Theil.

You remember Matt, Liv?

Guy was built like a f***ing

tank.

He could open bottles

of beer with his teeth.

Use to play call of duty 24/7.

Anyway, Matt rented a boat one

time, well, it wasn't really

a boat, it was more of a skiff.

Tiny one at that, couldn't

even fit a case of f***ing

natty light in it.

- Stop.

- What?

- Just

stop.

- Okay.

Hey, why did you stop

me earlier at the river?

- You know sometimes you,

it feels like you forget

what's out there.

I don't know, one minute

you're telling me about

how you killed your wife.

And the next, it's just like,

we're on a weekend camping trip.

We'll all return to normalcy

on Monday.

You know those rings

your wife had?

We saw them before anyone

knew what was going on.

We get patients in the

er oozing puss and blood.

The rings just devouring

the skin around it.

Feeding on it like it knew

what it was gonna become.

The only thing keeping them

down there

is the fact that they haven't

eaten all the bodies yet.

You know, all those people

like your wife,

just left and tied to the bed.

I can't.

I can't just choose to forget

that.

- I didn't forget.

I just choose what to remember

and when to remember it.

Get some sleep, alright?

- They took two

houses before I found

the last amount.

- Hailey needs something
