War of the Pussy Snatchers Interlude Three: One-Winged Angel
540th Day After Contact
Zoey huddled in the corner of the stoneblock cell while explosions sounded from all around the compound. Small pieces of debris fell from the ceiling to dust the floor after as the building's foundation resettled with every shake and tremble of the earth. Zoey's entire world vibrated and churned as each deafening noise left her ears ringing. Okay, that last one was close. Zoey could hear screams from above. Scattered bursts of gunfire. How the hell had her life come to this?
The other women imprisoned with Zoey whimpered or moaned with fear while they sat and rocked back and forth in fetal positions. But not Zoey. She had already lived through two warzones, the first her hometown in Pittsburgh and then again in Detroit where she'd fled to after the Steel City fell. Zoey had watched helplessly as her family members were killed in the crossfire of a battle between the military and Soulless forces. She'd spent the last few months living in a true hell on earth with the most fiendish devils terrorizing and torturing her. It would take a lot more than machine guns and a few rumbling explosions to shake her resolve.
The combined forces of the U.S. and Canadian armies shot indiscriminately into the crowd of women, not bothering to discern Soulless women from human before opening fire. Zoey watched as her mother and both her younger sisters were cut down in this fashion before she was "rescued" by the victorious Canadian force. The shocking images of blood and gore from Zoey's family spraying all over her while the whizzing bullets that tore their fragile bodies apart miraculously avoided Zoey's nearby person would never leave her brain. She revisited those horrid visions in her nightmares every single night.
Zoey's family tried sneaking over the border into Canada with a large group of like-minded women who feared Detroit's brutal occupying force that comprised of remnants of the former U.S. military equally as much as they feared the dead-eyed women who kidnapped girls in the night. Rumors spread that Soulless were hidden amongst their caravan and a joint military brigade arrived soon thereafter to prevent their crossing over the border. Despite their barbarism, Zoey granted that the ambushers were proven correct in their assessment that Soulless had indeed infiltrated the caravan. When the migrants were stopped at a border checkpoint and started being harassed, women throughout their caravan produced secreted weapons and within seconds gunfire was exchanged between the two groups before any innocent bystanders could hide or flee.
Once the dust from the skirmish cleared, unsympathetic soldiers tore a devastated and screaming Zoey away from the bullet-ridden corpses of her family and stuffed her into a cattle car with several other women. She spent time at several different camps throughout the next month while the embattled Canadian government decided what to do with the American refugees. Finally they were transported to an internment camp in far northern Canada. This was not exactly how Zoey expected her first visit to a foreign country would ensue.
The conditions at the camp weren't great to begin with and they only degraded further as the war dragged on. Food and fuel grew scarce as supply lines became disrupted by the war and priority for all supplies was given to the soldiers and guards stationed at the camp before the prisoners. The women interred there were allowed no contact with the outside world and the food and clothing they were provided would have been barely adequate during pristine weather conditions let alone during the dead of winter.
Zoey shared a small room that was enclosed in depressingly gray cement walls, ceilings, and floors with eleven other prisoners who were only given skimpy, ragged uniforms for clothing and flea-ridden blankets to lay over their cot for bedding. The dozen women shared one communal toilet and sink between them but with the constantly freezing pipes they often had to resort to using a sickly stained pail left in the corner of their cell. With no privacy separating them Zoey became intimately familiar with the sights and smells of women making their toilet over the next few months.
