The longer I was on the Raider the more I remembered its particulars; in particular the particulars surrounding its six foot wheelbase and extended rake.

  “We’re too late;” shouted Shaun aka velociraptor akachameleon, “save yourself…I’ll hold them off!” “I won’t leave without you,” I shouted back at the same time I was trying unsuccessfully to break the lock on the sliding steel door leading into the warehouse. All five Alphas had body armor. None of the large growing larger
