It seems this little blog has been neglected for some time. Here's a little novel that I just released for the Kindle. Grab it for $2.99 if you feel the need from some chaotic zombie entertainment. If you're a friend or family member, you may just find yourself somewhere in this story.
It became
a quiet Earth. You didn't want them to hear you, the Undead. Something in the
reanimation process increased the sensitivity of the auditory nerves. They
could literally hear you from miles away. Even the animals grew hauntingly
silent, no birds called, no dogs barked.
Silence
became survival.
We've all
seen the classic zombie movie; slow-moving reanimated corpses that could be
killed with a shot to the head. Destroy the brain and the zombie goes bye-bye.
This
wasn't it.
Because
these things could not be killed. Ever. Shots to the brain didn't work. Even if
you dismembered them, their parts would continue to move indefinitely. Burning
them beyond recognition seemed the only way to put them to a final end.
So how
did it start, this rising of the dead?
Most
believe this condition stemmed from the use of chemical weapons. In 2017, the
US attacked North Korea after it was proven that nuclear missiles were being
developed and near to completion. Weeks of discussion between the two countries
amounted to nothing, with North Korea's leaders still blinded by their ancient
beliefs. They would be controlled by no one.
The
United States, assuming their role as the World Police and with the support of
many of their allies, laid the place to waste. Officially they only used
conventional bombs. Most believed this to be bullshit.
Pyongyang,
its capital and largest city was hit first and within thirty minutes every
living thing for hundreds of miles lie dead. Nearly twenty-eight million
people.
North
Korea's government practiced Songun,
believing that their military was the supreme repository of power within their
country. The military's importance far outweighed all other facets of their
society. Thus there would be no surrender.
According
to conspiracy theorists, other cities were bombed with the chemical agent, a
crimson powder converted to aerosol called DDR, now known as Drop-dead Red. Its
exact chemical structure was classified, but it appeared to be a more advanced
version of mustard gas. Previously untested.
Death
from above didn't last long.
Sixty-three
days later and the first reanimated corpse crossed the border into South Korea.
It was assumed that the thing had killed the guards that stood watch at every
entry point and turned them as well.
When first sighted, the creature was several miles into South Korea and had a
following of dozens more undead.
Days
later and the same event happened on the boundary of China.
The
Western world knew nothing of these things until someone in Asia uploaded a
video to Youtube. At first believed to be an elaborate hoax, more and more
footage appeared, proving that this was real.
International
flight was halted, but it was too late.
Thank you,
