I want to smell dark matter
She held her son's hand tight. "Come on, into the school, come on," she said. They ran in and shut the door. The ink-eyed hadn't followed them, but it was only a matter of time. Things had happened so fast.
There were over a dozen more people in the school. Already they were arguing. Then one of them held up a gun. Where had he gotten a gun from? It looked old, actually, not that she knew much about guns.
"If anyone of them come in here, we have to kill them!" he said. "It's the only way! You've all seen the news! Entire cities have fallen. They're like zombies, take our mind!"
"It's the Squid Lord!" said a teenager, excited. "He has risen and he is taking the world back.
"I have a taser," said a lady, not very helpfully.
"I need to get home, I have to see my husband," said the mother, still holding her son's hand. He looked scared. "I just had to run in here because there were ink-eyes outside."
"You can't get out," said the man with the gun. "None of us can leave until the town is purged. The army will get there soon. They have to gun them all down. That's the mistake they've made! Trying to gas them or control them...they have to be killed!"
"Shut up!" said a woman the mother recognised as a teacher at the school. "I hear something!"
It was a banging on the doors.
"It could be anyone," said the mother. "Could be the army...anyone."
"Mummy, are the zombies here?" asked her son.
"FUCK," said the woman with the taser, pointing. The window had been smashed in. A man tried to climb inside...then someone else grabbed him. He called for help. None of them went to help him.
"We have to board up the window, quick," said a man. He ran over to it, but then the man who had tried to climb in appeared again. His eyes were black now. The man who'd gone to help was grabbed by him and an ink-eyed woman as they climbed inside.
"Shoot them!" said the teacher to the man with the gun.
"It's a collector's item, it doesn't even have a firing mechanims!" he said.
"Mummy, what's happening," said the son. She had to...
Suddenly the door burst open and a man with machine gun came in. He ran right by them and pointed at the three ink-eyes and gunned them down.
"YES, KILL," said the teenager. "THE SQUID LORD IS RIGHT ABOUT US. WE ARE ANIMALS."
"Shut up," said the army man. "We have to fortify..."
She realised her son had sliped from her hand and was running for the door. "COME BACK," she shouted. The army man grabbed her and stopped her.
"We have to stay here!"
"HE'S MY SON..." she struggled but the army man shoved her to the floor. He was panicking. The guy with the fake gun threw up as he looked at the dead bodies. Then her son came running back. "Oh thank God..."
Her son's eyes were black. She stared at him.
"Submit to the master, mummy," he said. She stood in front of him. In front of the army man. But she knew he'd gun her down to get to her son.
Then the teenager hit the army man in the back of the head with a wooden chair. "DIE, FASCIST," he said.
The woman with the taser dropped it and run. The man with the fake gun stared at her son. "He's possessed, we have to...." But her son jumed up wiht terrifying speed and started clawing and biting the man's face. Then vomitted into his mouth. It didn't feel real. She started laughing. A shot rang out. The army man had shot the teenager dead. He was aiming at her son and the replica gun gun now. He gunned won replica gun guy. She grabbed the taser and rammed it into the army man's back. She held it close to him for a long time until he was convulsing on the floor. The scooped up her son and ran outiside.
"We'll fix you, we'll cure you, there must be a way," she said. "There must... He spat in her mouth as it was opened. She slid. He landed on top of her.
"It won't hurt for long," he said, vomitting in her mouth. She thought of her husband. Was he dead? She was dead. Her son was dead. Soon they'd all be dead...
"We serve the Master now," she said when she woke up. "You must love him more than you love me."
"I do, mummy," said her son. "I don't love you at all compared to Him."
"Same here," she said. "You are nothing to me now."
They walked away in opposite directions.

"If anyone of them come in here, we have to kill them!" he said. "It's the only way! You've all seen the news! Entire cities have fallen. They're like zombies, take our mind!"
"It's the Squid Lord!" said a teenager, excited. "He has risen and he is taking the world back.
