  • 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…

  • Silent Vengeance

    He was tall, thin, dressed in black, alone, and undead. But there was no mistaking him. Even for a zombie, he was an unusual shade of bright white. Under the gore, it was greasepaint. Under his right eye, a black isosceles pointed down like an inverted tear. “Uptown! Check this shit out! It’s him!” “Who?”…

  • To Mommie

    Dear Mommie, Daddy told me you were sick and that I couldn’t be around you. I know you’re in pain because I can hear you moaning and gurgling through the metal door Daddy built. Daddy also told me that you put up a fight being put in that box. He said Scruffy had to go…

  • 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,…

  • Sweetheart Corner

    “God, this is boring,” said Martin as he smashed another Z just above the right eye. “I’d really prefer to expand my horizons a little.” His sledgehammer’s backswing caught another Z in the temple. “You know, tackle some new challenges, like the State Legislature or maybe working at the DMV.” His hammer came down on…

  • 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…

  • Gone

    The 27th squad slowly approached the gate to Zyracuse central. Clipboard was caught off guard. They were usually one of the rowdier squads that liked to celebrate their successes. Today was different. “What happened out there? You were due back hours ago!” he called out to Decap as the vehicle slowed to a halt. Decap…

  • 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…
