MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 82 — Permission
Evelyn stood in the ravine with rain misting her face and the black mouth of the culvert behind her, breathing hard, the cold having settled in her lungs. Rowan stayed between her and the opening, rifle still raised. Gabriel lowered Rusk carefully onto a patch of wet leaves while Dean paced in a tight circle, shaking water from one boot and terror from the rest of him.“I would like to file a complaint,” Dean said.Evelyn looked at him. “About?”“The tunnel. The voice. The hand. The concept of drainage. All of it.”“Filed.”“With urgency?”“Extreme urgency.”“Thank you.”Gabriel pressed a cloth to Rusk’s wound, his own sleeve dark with the patrolman’s blood. “We need Mrs. Carter.”Evelyn lifted the radio, hesitated, then unclipped it from her shoulder and held it away from her mouth.Everyone noticed.Rowan looked at the culvert.Gabriel looked at the radio.Dean stopped pacing. “Oh. Right. The evil echo problem.”Evelyn turned the volume down and pressed the button only once.“Warren
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 81 — Open the Latch
The word vanished beneath the rush of water.For one awful second, nothing moved inside the maintenance chamber. Rowan stood pressed close enough that Evelyn could feel the line of his body along her shoulder. Gabriel held his axe low, his flashlight angled toward the black passage. Dean kept his rifle trained on the darkness with both hands locked around it, the barrel trembling just enough to betray him.The yellow latch waited on the wall.Old paint.Rust around the hinges.A simple maintenance mechanism suddenly felt more dangerous than any weapon in the tunnel.From the dark passage, Vale’s voice came again.Not Vale.Something that was wearing the shape of her voice badly.“Southern access is clear.”The pauses were wrong.Rusk had been right about that.The voice knew the words, but not the breath between them. It flattened the command into sound without understanding the human rhythm underneath. Like a child repeating a prayer in a language it had never learned.Rusk began to
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 80 — Both Ways
The wounded patrolman’s voice scraped through the maintenance chamber and seemed to vanish into the sounds of rushing water.No one touched the yellow latch.Gabriel’s hand remained half-raised toward it, fingers still, palm open. Slowly, he lowered his arm.Dean stared at the latch as though it had personally betrayed him. “I knew yellow was a suspicious color.”Rowan moved his light from the latch to the dark passage beyond the chamber. “What’s on the other side?”The patrolman tried to answer, but the effort folded him inward. He coughed once, wet and painful, then pressed his blood-slick hand harder against his side.Evelyn crouched closer.Not too close.His flare gun still rested against his thigh, and fear made people dangerous even when they were half-dead.“My name is Evelyn,” she said. “We came from the south ridge. Captain Vale sent us.”The man’s eyes sharpened despite the fever glaze. “Vale’s alive?”“Yes.”A breath went out of him.It might have been relief. It might hav
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 79 — The Road Frostfang Forgot
Evelyn stood before the black mouth of the southern culvert with Caleb’s flashlight cold in her hand and water whispering over stone at her feet. The sound from inside came again after several seconds.A faint metallic click.Then nothing.Behind her, Dean breathed out very slowly. “I would like to revise my earlier position on scouting. I now believe that scouting is a concept invented by people who hate staying alive.”Rowan did not look back. “Quiet.”“I’m being quiet emotionally. My mouth is adjusting.”Gabriel crouched near the broken grate, one hand resting against the concrete lip of the culvert. Moss clung to the old structure in thick green strips. Rainwater dripped from roots overhead and pattered against rusted metal below. His eyes moved over the collapsed stones, the bent bars, the scrape marks along the mud.“Someone widened this,” he said.Evelyn stepped closer. “Recently?”“Not today. But not last winter.”Rowan knelt beside the partial footprint near the waterline. “R
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 78 — The Southern Culvert
The road no one had thought to guard began as a gap between two leaning pines.Caleb stopped the lead truck at the edge of it and stared through the windshield with open disgust.“No.”Gabriel stood on the running board, one hand braced against the door frame. “This is the service trail.”“This is a deer having a nervous breakdown.”“It widens after the first bend.”“Does it widen into a road?”Gabriel paused.Caleb closed his eyes. “I hate you a little again.”The convoy had left the overlook and descended below the ridge, following an old maintenance track until the ground flattened near a stand of dense firs. Mist clung low between the trunks. Frostfang was no longer visible from here, hidden by slope and forest, but the smoke still stained the air with a bitter edge.The vehicles were tucked beneath cover as best they could manage.Branches were pulled across reflective surfaces. Engines were shut down. People spoke in whispers, as if the forest itself might report them.The servi
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 77 — Where Frostfang Stopped Looking
“We go where Frostfang stopped looking.”The words settled inside the relay shed like a decision with teeth.For a moment, only the rain answered; it tapped against the roof, slid down the warped doorway, and softened the mud outside into dark, shining patches. Beyond the overlook, Frostfang smoked beneath the low clouds. The eastern gate stood sealed in the distance, barricaded from the outside like a wound someone had tried to hold closed with metal and desperation.Warren stared at the southern approach on the map.“The drainage culvert,” he said.Gabriel nodded. “Old runoff channel below the southern wall. It cuts under the outer slope before turning west. Maintenance crews used to access it before the rockfall.”Vale shifted against the wall and winced as Mrs. Carter tightened another stitch. “It was removed from active patrol routes last winter.”“Because of the rockfall?” Evelyn asked.“Because command decided no infected would use a half-collapsed drainage route when roads wer
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 51 — The Watchers
By morning, everyone had heard about the feeling.Tracks could be argued with. People could blame rain, bad light, soft ground, fear, or imagination. They could call it an animal print distorted by mud, or a human track, stretched by panic, but feelings were hard to argue with.The sense of being w
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 49 — Echoes
The next morning began with a map spread across the table and an uncomfortable silence hanging over the room. Helen's story about the abandoned river town had settled into everyone's thoughts overnight. It lingered in conversations during breakfast and resurfaced whenever people discussed routes no
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 48 — Northbound
The visitors arrived shortly after sunrise.Evelyn spotted them from the tower while finishing watch, a thin line of figures emerging from the morning mist along the old logging road. There were about fifteen of them in total, moving slowly but steadily toward the gate with packs on their backs and
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 47 — The Road Ahead
The next morning, the map moved.Not physically.The paper remained exactly where it had been for days, spread across the center table in the main cabin beneath a lantern and a growing collection of notes.What changed was the way people looked at it.A week ago, survivors gathered around the map t
