Nobody really wanted to believe that this was really happening but it was. The world was falling apart and it was happening quick. They needed a place where everyone could survive together, big enough for everyone to have room but not to big as to be hard to defend. It needed to have infrastructure all ready in place, his crew and friends could build anything given enough time, but time was something in short supply. Some wanted to go to a mall, some wanted to go to a police station, some… Continue

Finally the last piece of the wall was ready. "Drop it Jimmy, over" he said over the radio and it slid easily into place and was locked in place with a turn of lever. Now everyone could get some sleep, it had been over 3 days since anyone got more than thirty or forty minutes of sleep and everyone was dead tired but they were still alive and he intended to keep it that way. His thoughts drifted to his little brother, and he let out a little chuckle, because his little brother Randy was his twin… Continue

“ SO who’s coming” I asked , everyone wanted to come but someone had to stay and keep the place secure . I decided to take Jose and Robert with me, as we all get in the car Howie calls out “What if someone wants to get in and they aren’t sick”. “Use your best judgment but remember we have a small amount of supplies right know, and were not sure how long this is going to last”. He and his wife both nod their heads and tells us to hurry back. As we drive away it takes a few minutes to find a… Continue

“ Ok so now that we are all best friends let’s get all our shit organized because we need to go out and get some supplies before it gets to bad out there”, I said after we finished introductions with Robert. What we had was enough for a few days but not enough to keep us alive that long especially if we found more survivors. I had Howie's wife Angie give me the list and looked at what she had written.

…I walked down the hallway and turned left and started walking down the stairs to the basement, halfway down I knew I wasn’t alone down there. The smell hit my nose like a hammer. It was the smell of damp sweat and mildew along with the slight odor of ammonia that made my nose sting and eyes water. I knew that some one had been living here for awhile, I cocked the hammer back on my .38 as slowly and quietly

as possible and slowly went down the rest of the stairs.

The Castle was an old building that sat on the outer edge of downtown, my boss had told me it was our next job. It was built around the 1840s or 50s by the look of it, large granite blocks four feet by four feet stacked two high made up the retaining wall around the lot the building was on. The building itself was made from the same granite blocks and was four stories tall. In its previous lives it had been the town library, bank, brothel, boarding house, and finally a glass blowing factory… Continue

Is this really happening? Is this happening right now in my small city (pop. 100,000) ?That’s what I kept asking myself as I drove thru the quickly deteareating streets,streets that used to have small children playing,people walking the streets after work chatting with neighbor and stranger alike, parks that were filled with families having picnics and playing baseball. It was ,but it would never be like that again,now it was filled with people crammed into stores trying to get supplies,long… Continue

The plan was simple,live thru this.Ten minutes after Howie showed we left Jose's apartment and arrived at my house. We parked inside the two car attached garage,after a drive around the block to make sure all was quiet.We quickly went inside and starting loading supplies into the trucks,all the canned food i had ,which wasn't much,all the camping gear i thought we needed mainly the three sleeping bags i had and my big coleman stove,all the freeze-dried food i had ordered had arrived the day… Continue

I'm always ready for some thing to happen,but i'm not sure anybody is really ready for this i told JOSE .First we need information, then we can make a plan he told me and it sounded like a good idea. So we watched the news for about a half hour,it wasn't good.People who were infected were as good as dead so we shouldn't even try to help them.We had to find a strong place to try and ride it out, the paper thin walls and hollow core doors of any apartment wouldn't hold very long,i should know i… Continue

I woke up feeling tired,it had been a long night.I made up with my girlfriend,smoked some great bud,drank alot and gotten a raise.I dragged myself into the bathroom to really wake myself up with a cool shower then a warm shave.Time for my favorite breakfast,a big plate of bacon and toast with apple jelly followed by a shot of vodka. CNN was still talking about the new infection that had been discovered in NEW YORK,BOSTON MIAMI and other big cities on the east coast.If what they were saying was… Continue

CLICK is not the sound you want hear when you have 2 zeds in between you and the door.Funny how in life threatning situations your minds perception of time slows to a crawl,as soon as i heard the click of the hammer on an empty chamber i cursed myself for not swapping the mag with only two rounds left for the full mag that was on my belt.As soon as opened the door i saw the two walking corpses and took them both out with head shots.BOOM BOOM the empty room bounced the sound of its high walls… Continue

As i entered the the door to pick up our food i saw the owner was acting scared and i asked if he had been robbed.He said no and asked if i had been watching the news.I told him all the news on tv was just a bunch of talking heads trying to spread the political agenda of the owners,and i never watched anything but the weather channel but he insisted that i watch his tv in the backroom by the kitchen.I walked to the back with him,when i looked around i saw all his staff huddled around a 19inch… Continue

I knew it would be a great day today.First of all because it was my birthday, second it was friday,and finally because all the work on the seven story building we had started working on in the middle of winter was done.Damn designers kept changing plans,adding more rooms and removing some we had already built.Those sixteen hour days were in the past,now we had an easy nine. The boss was in a good mood,he and his boyfriend had gotten married the week before and he was still smiling when he told… Continue
