At first, they only thought they were odd shapes of metal. When they got closer, they saw what it truly was. These were people. They were scattered along the way. Some were huddled under pieces of scrap metal, others under concrete.
But they were all undeniably dead.
There was a man lying face down on the ground. Sections of his skin were blistered, and other sections appeared to be tanned and tough like old leather.
A woman was huddled over, trying to shield two young children. He skin was blistered, and the two children under her were unnaturally stiff. None of the three was moving.
The further they walked, the more people they saw. Some are still alive, others are dead. Those who saw them looked at them with a mix of disbelief and horror.
