Day Zero – Ryan Casey

The guilt kicked in again. The shame. She wasn’t thinking straight. Everything that’d happened today, it had driven her to this reaction. But this wasn’t right. It just wasn’t right. She was stealing from a man who was just trying to help his children get by. Just hours after she’d been told to stay in her home, she was out here acting like a savage.

What did that make her? The man’s hands slammed against the car bonnet. “It’s not a question. You’re going to get the hell out of my car right now, or I will physically drag you out. None of us want that.” Lily looked around. More people in their cars and outside their cars were staring on.

Some of them were shaking their heads, whispering to one another, tutting. She wanted more than anything to just curl up into a ball and disappear, as the embarrassment and the anxiety multiplied. Beast sat by her side panting, like this was all just a novelty to him. She was ashamed. But she needed to find Alex. She needed to find her son. Just how far was she willing to go on that quest? She kept hold of the steering wheel.

Even though she knew she should get out and go, there was an opening ahead of her. A small gap, in between a few of the cars stacked up on this road. She should just put her foot down. The man would jump. He’d drag his children out of the way. He’d do anything to protect them. Any parent would. But what if he didn’t? She couldn’t live with the knowledge that she’d hurt someone… or even worse. She couldn’t just drive off.

That wasn’t her. So she was going to have to try something else. “My son,” she said. “I… I didn’t want to steal from you. Really, I didn’t. But⁠—” “Get out of the car.” He didn’t seem to be listening. Even slightly. “I was with a neighbour. A friend. We—we were trying to gather supplies of our own.
