Warren Ellis' Blackgas #1 Gore Variant

A small island off the East Coast of America sits on its own minor fault atop the underlying tectonic plate. It has a peculiar history that almost everyone ignored... until the night of the great storm. The storm caused a crack in the fault line, releasing something vile from the bowels of the earth, which spread across the town of Smoky Island. Now, the only two individuals who were not affected are stranded on a dark outcrop, surrounded by a population that has turned cannibalistic — they began devouring each other an hour ago!
