“Get it, get in
Everybody wants some
You won’t be much different
We need deliverance
Give us deliverance”

“We’re getting out of town. This city is starting to fall apart.”

from The Becoming by Jessica Meigs

“Seems that doomsday has come early this year
The last angel has gone
I can’t remember the last time I cried
The last angel has gone home”

She felt oddly exposed; a creeping sensation of danger worked its way up between her shoulder blades and latched into her brain at the base of her skull. It was partly instinctual, she knew, but at the same time, she couldn’t help but compare it to the similar feelings she’d had on the dusty sand-choked streets and avenues of Israel during her service: as if something were going to race from the darkness and attack her.

“Maybe I don’t know
How many people are starving
In this world long gone”

“‘What the hell is going on?’ Cade asked. She pushed her hair away from her face again. ‘What happened in there…it’s something more than just a riot, isn’t it?’”

“Behind these walls, you watch them fall
As our union crumbles into hell
It’s not the end of the world now, baby
So come on, dry those tears
It’s not the end of the world now, darling
But I can see it from here”

There would be no more dinner in this house. There would be no more quiet evenings of drinks and bad movies on television. Everything was gone.

Cade understood this instinctively as she glanced at the flickering television screen. She didn’t need news reporters to tell her anything. She just knew.

“I’ll dig and dig until I feel alive
Slay me and make me
Desecrate me
I’ll let you take me
All the way”

The back door still stood wide open—the glass shattered, the wood cracked—letting in the cold evening air, and two of the chairs at the small breakfast table were overturned and broken. Glass littered the floor, mixed with a large streak of clotted, dark red blood. A crimson handprint stained the front of the refrigerator, and another smear darkened the doorframe leading to the living room.

“Well I’ll carry this box to the proper place
And when I lower it down
I’ll let you fade away
I hope that you would do this for me
Well, I’d serve you drugs on a silver plate
If I thought it would help you get away
I hope that you would do this for me”

“‘What makes you think America is immune to horrible things?’” she asked once she looked up from the phone. “‘What makes America so special that she shouldn’t have to deal with tragedy?’”

from The Becoming by Jessica Meigs

“Something’s gone terribly wrong
With everyone
All the world is mad
Darkness brings terrible things
The sun is gone
What vanity! Our sad, wretched fires”

“As they came within a few feet of the top of the stairs, a soft creak of the floorboards behind him was the only warning Ethan had that something was amiss. He sucked in a breath as he let go of Cade and turned on his heel. A figure ran toward them in the dim hallway, its arms outstretched.”

“Fall back on me
And I’ll be the strength I need
To save me now
Just come face to face with me”

“To her horror, she realized that the lower half of his face was covered in a thick, dark liquid that slowly dripped off his chin to fall to the cream carpet below.”

from The Becoming by Jessica Meigs

“Roaming the night
Stalking our prey
We will take our time
We are the living dead”

“I saw on TV some footage of a couple of guys actually eating a man. Does that sound like just a case of bad fever and delirium to you?”
