[Mike's been struggling with memories - that is, little pieces of a bigger picture, slowly eking into Mike's brain and leaving him all twisted up in the wake of the violence and bloodshed. He sees images of a girl and a monster, and the thing rips into her stomach. He sees corpses hanging in a rocky, decrepit room. He sees a girl collapse to her knees, and outside the door, he sees a man's head, rolled up on the porch--
He jerks back into alertness where he's also found himself hiding. There's a citizen nearby he doesn't recognize who has been ripped a-fucking-part, and his stomach does awful flips. Go figure, the week he gets his stitches removed, this all happens, huh? He still feels sore and stiff on his feet, but now that he's got a shotgun courtesy of the sheriff's department, he can at least keep himself a step ahead. Alive. That's what matters. Stay alive.
He's made a bolt for an open door, where he's pretty sure someone had ran out only to get dragged off; he just needs... somewhere. To recollect himself. His mind is all fractured, fucked up, and he feels like he's on the verge of hysterics if he doesn't stop to compose himself.
Not much later after he goes inside, he hears the door again.

Wait - the monsters don't use doors. Do they?]
Who's there??
