Batesville Installment Seven
Jimmy can’t remember how long he’s been living on the streets. The old man has no time to be worried about things like that anyway, what with the dead people following him everywhere he goes. They’re not zombies or anything like that. No, that would be crazy. These are just dead people. They’re everywhere, always asking for help, but Jimmy knows that it’s not his place to step in and assist them. No, someone else has to do that. Jimmy’s camped out just north of downtown Kansas City, right by the River Market area. There seems to be a lot of dead folks wandering around the district, but Jimmy’s not quite sure why. Maybe there’s a Yamagot working the area and they came to get help that way. Jimmy hopes that’s not the case, as he’s hiding out from Yama, has been for a good long while now. He just can’t bring himself to face Yama yet, not after everything that happened.
So Jimmy just stands there at the corner, holding his sign, hoping that the people exiting off of I-35 onto Broadway will help him get enough money to get some food today. He tries to talk with them about what he sees, but they just don’t want to listen. Maybe today someone will know if there’s a Yamagot in the River Market. Maybe today someone will be able to help all of these dead people.
