"Everyone has heard of the theorized zombie apocalypse; about how a big nuclear accident or virus turns most of the world into brain-dead revenants with a hunger for flesh. Tons of movies were even made about it. But no one knew what would really happen. In 2042, the world was a scientific masterpiece. Free healthcare, long lives, and advanced technology m...
She lay alone in the dark, still in her uniform except for her shoes. It wasn't strictly against the rules to take a nap on one's lunch hour, but it would certainly be frowned upon. That's why she preferred to sneak off to an empty patient room (usually one undergoing some form of renovation) than to crash in one of the on-call rooms. She set an alarm to vib...
Closer. As they were getting closer with each passing second, the sounds of their chattering teeth grew only louder behind him, sometimes covered by their never ending wheezing. Still, he ran, away from them, into the unknown of the deserted streets. He felt it coming far ahead, the weakness in his knees, his breath getting short, his heartbeat becoming unb...
My name is Ted Kerston. I found some paper and have decided to fill it with my thoughts and ramblings. You know, I used to root for the zombie apocalypse. I prepared for it. Making Go-Bags, learning skills like fire building, lock picking, using fire arms and how to create basic tools in the wilderness. It is true, some of those skills were VERY useful now t...
Sean smiled as he shut the door to his car and dashed up the driveway with his Gamespot bag. His newest purchase was going straight to work. After a drink or two. Actually it was too much work to pour drinks he just grabbed the entire bottle and set it beside him as he put the game in his Xbox 360 and turned the system on. "Damn this game is great!" Sean sho...
Day One: I was thriving here in the so-called apocalypse, no rules but my own morality and my survival talents were finally put to proper use. I felt masculine, strong, able, worthy. In charge of my own life, future, destiny. With no one bossing me around, other than those two, but I was only tied to them because of Emily. I didn't mind her bossing me aroun...
Day Four: It was something like late morning when we finally awoke, cold and shivering, naked on the mattress with only our mutual body heat to keep us warm. Luckily it was still summer. I lit the fire and made tea. The fire was a risk, the smoke from the chimney being visible to scavengers against the sky. However, warming us up was a priority. Tea was t...
Three weeks ago, the first case for Colis-Hersch Fever was reported. A week ago, the entire eastern coast was in a state of panic and disarray. Two days ago, the world had ended. Hannah laughed out loud when she thought about it. When she pictured a zombie apocalypse, she saw a metropolis overrun with animated corpses, stumbling and groaning for human flesh...
The zombie apocalypse didn't quite happen the way Hollywood had always imagined it, even in the more recent incarnations that tended to be more sci-fi than supernatural. To be sure, there was a viral epidemic that caused the gradual loss of higher cognitive functions and an abnormal appetite for meat. In the later stages, that hunger would even specialize in...
On a dark, cold night, the only lighting is coming from the moonlight shining through the open window. Dull white curtains sway in the breeze. A thick layer of dust rests upon every piece of furniture. The floor is covered with clothes and other random objects that had been tossed aside in a hasty scramble to collect what was most valuable. An abandoned bedr...
