Carl seemed to react instinctively; as he slowly opened his eyes and saw that it was a vulture, he immediately let go.
The vulture stared in astonishment at the white finger mark on its dark wrist that hadn't faded in ages, its mouth agape.
"Oh my god! Boss, you've gotten stronger, you almost broke my hand."
Ali sprang to his feet and went to Carl's bedside.
"Boss!"
Others gathered around, but the stench emanating from the two people on the bed grew even stronger. A visibly oily, dark substance was also rising from their skin.
A black, unidentified object covered the skin, emitting a foul stench, different from the putrid smell of rotting zombie flesh, more like the stench of a sewer...
