David felt the tension boiling in his gut. He knew he had
mere moments to get to the truck before the horde set upon him and with a
blockade of eight festering corpses in front of him, his options were limited.
Suddenly, he saw Cristian turn the wheel of his vehicle toward him. He was
preparing to...

Day 09: Proceed with Caution
“We need to do the humane thing and shoot her already!” Josh
replied. Sumiko had been placed in one of the cages in Cell Block C awaiting
the group’s determination about her.
“Wait,” Nicole yelled. “She hasn’t shown any signs of
infection and the bite appears to be days if not weeks old.”
“And? Last I checked, you didn’t have a medical degree and
we...

Day 08: New Information
“What the fuck is this?” Troy asked, finally shutting the
door. “Who are those men?”
“They work as part of a militia,” Pete said. “They broke
into the store and were rifling through my stuff. I waited until they split up
and one-by-one I attacked them and got them subdued.”
“You took them down...

Day 07: Decisions
“They have this building surrounded.” Cristian announced
once David and Liz rejoined them in the lobby.
“What? How? We were being careful,” Liz replied, taking a
peek out of the windows to confirm what she’d heard.
“My guess: it’s the same thing that happened when we went to
the fire station and corner clinic. Someone is doing this,” Cristian...

Day 06: Splintered
“We have to go back!” Aisha declared as Portia checked her
rearview.
“Hold on,” Portia said, performing a quick U-turn and
gunning it back toward the alley.
Matthew pushed at the mob of undead, swinging and slashing
with his knife, he severed fingers, ears and even a nose. The blade met true
with a few skulls but he hesitated to really reach...

Day 05: Stowaway
Blood splattered her skin and soaked her clothing. A gash ripped
through her thigh. James fired. Josh fired and Katrina jumped for cover. A
severed arm fell to the ground beside her. Its rotted fingers twitched as if
trying to hold on to what little life remained. Nicole grabbed Katrina and
pulled her to her feet as more zombies broke through...

Day 04: Lawless
Elise drifted through darkness, floating weightlessly in an
inky black void. Slowly she realized she must have passed out for some reason
and was not quite awake. Muddled voices could be heard as her eyes blinked
behind closed lids and she shook her head as she came to.
The first thing she noticed was a sharp stabbing pain in her
head. Reaching...

Day 03: Not Alone
“Keep moving,” David said, “We have to make it back before
night.” Nina and Lucky followed close behind him as he rushed through the dark
theater with Liz and Cristian pulling up the rear. Another night out in search
of supplies yielded a small case of bottled water, a few bags of popcorn, soda
syrup, and some bags of stale nacho chips. Still,...

Day 02: Scavenging
“Almost out,” Matthew announced as he, JC, Natalie, Aisha
and Portia trudged down the murky tunnels beneath the city. In recent days, the
group had discovered that the sewers were devoid of undead…well, mostly. And with them running the length
of the entire town, they made for easy navigation on scavenging runs. They
smelled about as foul as...

Day 01: Whole New World
Two years later…
James studied the tracks the thief had left: short,
widely-spaced prints pressed deep into the damp earth; he was getting closer.
Reaching down to his side, he unbuttoned his sheath, preparing himself for what
lurked around the corner. With a nod towards Nicole, she broke off and started
around the other side of the building....

Prologue: No Escape
“Pick it up, Theresa. We have to keep moving,” Billy said as
he lifted his backpack higher on his shoulder.
“I need a break, please,” Theresa huffed and nearly
collapsed against the brick wall of the alley. “We’ve been running for three
blocks. We had to have lost them by now.”
Billy turned to look at his sister. Her face was flushed and
sweat...
