  • Who Will Tell Our Stories?

    Where have all of the great writers gone?  Aren’t there more stories to be told?  Just about the only way to escape the madness is to lose yourself in a good book.  I’ve read all of the books we have here.  I want new stories. Over the years, the salvage teams supplied us with hundreds …

    “James, they gonna be real mad at us if they catch us.” “Then make sure you keep looking for them so I can dig. I can’t dig too fast with this spoon.” Ever since he arrived, James had been looking for a way out. He tried to climb over the fence, but the barbed wire…

    They came without warning, a never-ending tide of the undead. The military was unable to contain the explosion of the disease. The government packed up and headed west. They told us to evacuate the cities and wished us luck. The military was too busy trying to defeat the enemy to help with evacuations. Flights and…
