Never Take us Alive

He watched the body resting on the shadowed ground, the blood still fresh, pooling around the man's head like a dark black halo, flecked with liquid moonlight. For now, the night still clung to the sky, but already the cloying sensation of the nuclear sunrise only a few hours distant began to thicken the air. The blood gleamed as it spread, but it wouldn't take long to coagulate in the coming heat, and the flies would soon follow, hoping to steal a quick feast before the larger carrion birds were drawn by the scent of recent death. The cigarette between his lips smoldered slowly, unwanted now after the recent violence. They never wanted it to come to this. Pulling the stick of tobacco loose, he flicked it at the dead man's feet and raised his head.

"They'll all be after us now," he murmured softly into the muddy red hair in front of his face. The woman shifted her body against his, her back pressed tightly into his chest. A soft sigh reached his ears, his own, as her hand grasped the material of his jeans tighter. Desire was still alive amidst the death.

"Let them come," her voice lazy, almost dreamy to a point as she contemplated the corpse with quiet satisfaction. She turned to face him, eyes blazing with a defiance that belied the look of calm on her lips, which made a small 'o' as she blew away the curls of smoke still rising from the barrel of the gun. "They won't take us alive."
