I was sitting in my eazy chair sipping scotch and listening to Ray Charles when they came for me like I knew they would.  The slam on the door awoke me from my daze and gave me ample time to grab my pistols and begin to shoot.  As they broke through the door I watched them with my heart steady and my hands unwavering I was ready.  They bursted through the first one I kicked in the midsection then shot in the head the next one lunged for my forearm but was caught with a shot just above the…

The wheezing and coughing sounds of the people around me awoke me.  I got up on my elbows and looked down the long hallway.  Row upon row of bodies.....sleeping I hoped.  Every now and again you'd hear a scream or a moan or a grunt.  The government designated this area as 'safe'.  Hey you I looked up and there was a muzzle barrel in my face and behind it was a gas masked face.  What are you doing up?  I replied Just got woken up by all this the soldier lowered his…

Johnny B. Goode was playing from someone's car.  I walked up to my 34 Dussenberg Graber and leaned up against it.  A buddy of mine came up "Say Tony you hear the word?"  I smirked "What's that Fred?"  Fred shared the smirk "There's a guy lookin for you...he's outta the wastelands he's looking to win that bounty on your head for whoever kills you."  I answered "What's he driving?"  Fred's smirked fadded "A 42 Deuce Coupe"  I smirked and caressed one of my Maxims and said "I ain't dead yet be…

Another recruiter came into the bar (they were getting more and more frequent) and after he asked pleaded and promised us riches he got mad.  He was like every other one telling us to join up and go to the mountains and fight.  We'd all seen to many friends die for that very cause we just tried to survive.  So unlike the rest of the recruiters this one when faced with a dilema decided to demonstrate what his men could do. 

He gave the word to what looked like a god damn human…

The sound of shuffling cards filled the room well that and the pounding.  We'd been trapped in this cantina for 2 days now just the 3 of us.  Passing the time by playing poker, thinning out the 'herd', and drinking but mainly poker.  Whole fortunes were won and lost in courses of hours. All of us had money amoung other things.  Oh god where are my manners?  My name is Doc the two guys with me are Ike and Ringo we've been wandering around for about 2 years now.  Back to the…

Palido and I trotted along a gravel road which was more of a path than a road.  I figured I was damn close to the town all of a sudden there was some rustling it took me a second to realize where it was coming from.  Two Z's popped out of the bush and started stumbling towards Palido I drew my pistol shot both of them in the head and holstered it before they hit the ground.  Palido gave an appreciative gruff and we began to trot until we came to a clearing which was the…

I awoke to the sound of pounding on the walls of this adobe brick house.  Palito looked at me with the kind of blank expression I suppose only a horse could pass.  I said "Yeah brother I hear 'em."  Palito gave a soft ney and I got up and grabbed my revolver and went upstairs onto the roof of the house.  I looked down about 7 feet and there they were 4 feet thick all the way around the house.  I only saw more stumbling out of the treeline.  This is too many way too many I thought. …

"Give lucifer my regards."  BOOM.  The effect of my .44 at such a close range was nothing short of spectacular.  I literally saw the brain flop up and out hit the ground with a satisfying splat.  The zomb fell to the ground a hair after I shot.  I looked around at the scene I'd left in Los Banderras, Mexico  there were bodies all around me.  So many bodies  that the liquid they leaked made a small lake in the road my boots were in the lake at almost ankle high.  I can't believe I'd taken on…
