Quote #10
Gabriel looks at him blankly, his face still human, his eyes still frightened, and he mouths Cullen's name before crashing headfirst onto the table… He turns around and sees his house full of these same unhuman beings. They all walk toward him, their arms outstretched, their heads bobbing, their feet dragging." (17.142)
It's so hard for Cullen's mind to make sense of what's going on that he has to turn all of his worst fears and thoughts into a zombie scenario. When he finds himself facing the idea that Gabriel is probably dead, he just imagines saving him from zombies instead.
