WTF...

I can handle humans dying... But dogs?

Barghest

? Fuck that! I almost cried reading the ending. Also, this is such a unique take on zombies, the outbreak, and religion. I believe 100% some nuts would decide to have a crusade over this. Honestly surprised it didn't happen during COVID. But this is slightly too close to home and that makes it all the more scary.

Great read though :)
