Ways to Build Suspense

Shimmering pavement, asphalt heat. Stopped talking in eastern Utah, after Shelby hit the roadkill and fritzed the air conditioning. Maybe a leg, a rib, of an armadillo in the mechanism. Western Utah, eastern Nevada, tongues gritty from tasting the air, sweat pooling in elbows, anywhere skin touched skin. Gwen falls asleep driving; car shudders over the rumble strip, waking both of them with shock, turning their blood to ice.

She took up a scalpel and slit the monkey's abdomen, making a slow and gentle cut, keeping the blade well away from her gloved fingers. the spleen was puffed up and tough, leathery, like a globe of smoked salami. she did not see any bloody lesions inside this monkey. she had expected that the monkey's interior would be a lake of blood, but no, this monkey looked all right, it had not bled into itself. if the animal had died of ebola, this was not a clear case. she opened up the intestine. there was no blood inside it. the gut looked okay. then she examined the stomach. there she found a ring of bleeding spots at the junction between the stomach and the small intestine. this could be a sign of ebola, but it was not a clear sign. it could also be a sign of simian fever, not ebola. therefore, she could not confirm the presence of ebola virus in this animal based on a visual inspection of the internal organs during necropsy.
