I spent that night in the Warehouse. Tucked deeper into the building I found both a office trailer and mobile home. Strapping on my LED headband I made sure the area was secure then went to sleep on top of the office Trailer. Waking well before dawn I ate some sardines and took out my mending kit. In the mobile home the night before I found a corpse on the couch with a shotgun in it’s lap and what was left of it’s head on the wall. The bedroom carried more promise as I found a… Continue

The first time I saw one couldn’t have been more of a cliched experience. It was a dark and stormy night, no really it was, with thunder, lightning and periods of intense sheets of rain. I remember thinking that this night was going to be the night I see my first Zombie and sure enough it was. I was glad I didn’t have to be the hero, the Police were still working and they were determined to eradicate the “problem” all by themselves. We were just to “stay inside and dial 911 in… Continue
