I was breathing.
I shouted out the window.
Hey, no reaction.
Not even a blink.
Then, without a sound, the truck shut off.
Completely.
Engine, lights, cabin power, nothing left but darkness.
That's when I hit the gas.
I tried to shift through the gears, but the transmission fought me.
I couldn't get past third.
The RPM climbed like mad, but my speed didn't match.
It was like the truck was dragging a mountain behind it.
The road started climbing again, steeper this time.
My headlights barely reached a curve ahead, and then I saw them.
People lining the road.
Both sides just there.
They weren't walking.
They weren't even moving.
They were just standing still, facing the road, about ten feet apart, all staring straight ahead.
Men, women, different builds, different ages.
