Death You Take, just one of the many tales in this anthology.
An unknown virus spreads across the globe, turning
ordinary people into ravenous killers. Only a small population proves
to be immune, but most quickly fall prey to the infected. Isolated on
the rooftop of a school near the outskirts of Chicago, Bill Thompson
and a small band of survivors come to the frightening realization
that, without food or water, they will perish quickly under the hot
sun. Some wish to migrate to a safer, more plentiful refuge, but the
school is surrounded by rampaging murderers. Without a plan, Bill and
his group don't stand a chance. Their only hope lies in their one
advantage over the infected: their ability to think. Not far away, a
leader rises amongst the psychos, a man stricken by the virus yet
still intelligent and in control. His need to destroy humankind
becomes an obsession, and he rallies an army of killers to seek out
and destroy all who remain unchanged. Now Bill and his fellow
survivors not only need a safe haven, they must also escape legions of
hungry infected. But the virus and its hosts will find them, no matter
where they hide, because even sanctuary has its perils.
