John Carpenter's Tales Of Science Fiction: Civilians

Description

It&rsquo;s a bright sunny day near the Santa Monica Pier. You&rsquo;re reading an excellent horror novel (the latest Sutter Cane!) and enjoying some downtime. But suddenly&hellip; you&rsquo;re compelled to stand up. So is everyone else around you. And now you&rsquo;re walking along with them into the ocean. Stop! you want to scream.

Somehow, these random strangers are the only thing standing between us and the complete breakdown of society. And in this war, every casualty is a civilian&hellip;</p>
