== The Holdouts ==

Out by the Busch Wildlife Preserve, there was a series of old military storage bunkers hidden out in the bush. Abandoned by the turn of the century, they were still sturdy when the bombs dropped. Some of the folk what had a head for livin' took their bugout bags and ran out to the Preserve, to wait out the storm. Some of them ol' doors didn't work so good no more. Rumor out towards Troy is that there's still folks hiding out there, making a living. Rumor also says there's something else hiding out in that wood. Somethin' real nasty-like, what eats folks while they're still alive. Carries folk off in their sleep, if'n they ain't in a good shelter. Folks have heard screams rollin' across the Preserve. Used to spend quite a bit of time out there way back when I was a kid, 'fore the bombs went and turned off my computer. Maybe them are more than rumors, friend.
