  • The Best Day Ever

    Dear Diary, Last week I had the best day ever! I woke up and had breakfast and Mommy bought my favorite kind of cereal. Then later me and Daddy watched Spongebob on the tv together. It was really funny until a man on the news started talking. I don’t know what he said because I was…

  • The Sheep’s Clothing

    Everyone loved zombies. Who knew that New York horded such a massive colony of undead fans? Everyone would go see the movies. They loved watching their badass heroes slaughter mobs of ghouls on the big screen. The fad went unnoticed next to the polo shirts and sports games, but they were there. Believe me, the creepy shirts,…

  • The Night Shift

    “…Life’s so unfair when your best friend’s a ghoul. The end.” I put down the book and quietly make my way towards the door so that I don’t wake her, but it’s no use. The isn’t exactly a four star hotel we’re staying in. “Aw, I feel bad for the penguin. Goodnight Daddy. I love…

  • Goodbye, Love.

    Day 87, I went for a walk today to try and find a scrap of food, or hunt some kind of animal that hasn’t been bitten. I found myself down to Marshall Street. My brother used to work at the pizza shop on this street before… I came to the building which once held his…

  • The Halloween Parade

    Eight men dressed as hookers. Eleven women dressed as Corpse Corps members. The rendition of the Eighteenth Squad by their lovers had everyone laughing. One person in a Richard Nixon mask. One of Ronald Reagan, and four of Clinton. There were six Dick Cheneys. Amazing how the old monsters never die. The one wearing the…

  • S.A.D.

    I’ve just got to get through the next week or two and I’ll be okay. Yeah. Right. I know evolutionary biology isn’t really all that interesting in these times. Shut up. I’ve got a point. I remember before the collape seeing an article on the news about back pain. Apparently, the human spine was designed—no,…

  • They Lived, Felt Dawn, Saw Sunset Glow

    In the field an old man toils. His back is bent and crooked. His hands are calloused and brown. His face is drawn and leathery. His body is broken but his arms are strong. He works among the grasses and the pale yellow flowers and the neat rows of bleached crosses. He raises a shovel…

  • Family Reunion

    This is the first time I have been alone since the epidemic had started. It was chaos when the monsters broke into the mall. Everybody running screaming, there screams where louder then mine. “Dad” I screamed until tears welled up in my eyes and my body shook. No one looks down, they run. It’s like…

  • Final Thoughts

    “Mom, no!” That’s when I bashed her head in, monkey wrench to the forehead. The woman had taken care of me for 22 years and it came down to that. I didn’t think I could do it. She’s my mom, for Christ’s sake. Well, was my mom anyways. Have you ever bashed your own mother’s…

  • Hitting on the Ladiez

    Two weeks ago, my fiancée left me.  I didn’t think I’d be back out at the bar scene so soon, but here I was, spending my weekend at The Blarney Stone with my buddy Rick checking out a couple of girls across the room. “You want the blonde or the brunette?” “Rick, I don’t know…

  • Eight Times Over Miss October

    I hate Magritte. I never understood why until I was an old man, felt like an old man at least. Then I figured out just what a smug son of a bitch he really was. When the outbreak hit I ran, like everyone else. I ended up deep in the mountains. I found a cabin.…
