Huddled in the mud, Rackman squeezed his hands over his ears, trying to hold back his own scream. The Fade was calling in reinforcements. Even after so many years, their rudimentary calls were dreadfully familiar. After the pack showed up, they’d drive him, screaming and shrilling until he went mad with fear and ran ahead with no thought to the trap, exactly how they hunted wolves when the eclipse cast full night on the surface.

The shaggy red-brown beast came nearly up to his waist. Its jaws were lined with jagged teeth, but that wasn’t the wolf’s primary weapon. His heavy-duty canvas jacket was already pock-marked with acid spots, and the wolf opened its jaws, shoulders bunching, preparing to unload again. “Open the door!” [...] […] Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Glancing back over his shoulder, Rackman pounded both fists on the plazdoor.
