Chapter 67

Okay, change of plans.

Holding this bridge for any length of time is a no go now.

The creature is now moving slowly across the bridge aiming directly toward me. There was no way in hell...

Chapter 66

It was a testament to the day I stood at the road junction in front of the barricaded bridge and no longer thought it was strange. I was looking back across the city the way we came as the zone edg...

Chapter 65

It didn’t take long for the soldiers around me to react. Like me, they were stunned for several seconds as this swarm of zombies charged out of the fog. The rifles were soon discharging at the on...

Chapter 64

Two military trucks show up and we don’t hesitate, all get in them. Thankfully we’re not attacked during this. So we could get out of the area quickly once the civilians had been loaded in.

Chapter 63

As we moved along the road, we passed the building with a sign that said, Catacombe di Priscilla. With the grave chill sitting on my mind, I morbidly wondered if that was a sign of how today would ...

Chapter 62 (New editing method)

The soldiers manning the barricades opened fire on targets they identified. We were facing away from them and quickly span around and joined them on the barricade. Down the road came a group of six...

Chapter 61

Gregson was looking at his map. I joined him my body still aching. It was clear we were in the city proper now. With a large park to the west and a dense number of buildings to the east and south. ...

Chapter 60

To say that the drive back to the airport was bad was an understatement. Morale in the back of this lorry was in the toilet. Across the railway tracks see more residential areas and they were start...

October Q&A

Hi All

Here we are again with the next Q&A. Please ask any questions that you are thinking about.

Chapter 54

We continued the sweep of the zone. We never encountered any other skeletons or any other undead. We were thankful for that. Once we had finished this felt the breach to be inspected.

We stop...

Chapter 53

It was nearly 12:00hrs. Alana was putting on her armour and checking her kit in her container. She was shaking now. This was happening. She felt like she is going to throw up or cry maybe both.

Chapter 52

The thunderous crash of two shields was audible over the roar of the group watching. I was straining against my opponent as he strained against me. Henry’s face was clear through his visor grinni...

Chapter 50

I reload swearing all the way. I point it to the sky and pull the trigger again.

CLICK.

This leads to a greater bout of swearing as I load the third carriage into the gun. I have two gr...

Chapter 49

I have seen some crazy things as a zone operative.

Zombies, walking plants and dog-like things that spit fire.

You know not normal things. But what I was seeing was the damn craziest. 2022-09-10 08:48:15 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 48

I was moved a few days later to a normal ward. A week later I was home. During that week I had several visitors mainly Lou and Henry when he was on base. Henry had a great time mocking me. He found...

Chapter 47

I am in an isolated ward the next day, this ward specialises in biohazard cases. Both I and the other operative are here, she is in another room. I was told her name was Suzan, I remembered after t...

Chapter 46

I get down from the tree, eventually. True I was clinging to it most of the way and this slowed me down. There was a fall involved and a lot of swearing.

I am now standing over the limp form ...

Chapter 45 (Edited)

I return to full awareness sometime later. That was one hell of a strange time. I am laying on my front head down in the grass. My faceplate was still down protecting my face from everything. I get...

Chapter 44

Grey fog. Check.

A sudden drop in temperature. Check.

Damp moisture covering everything. Check.

The onset of mild depression drains what little colour there is from the world. Che...

Chapter 43

Turns out that day was the next.

I was rudely awoken at 5 am to be told to get my backside to a briefing room on base at 7 am. I was planning on going home today. So, two hours later showered...

Chapter 42

Two days later. Dr Helena got up and left the familiar briefing room in the Administration building. She had been part of the meeting but her part was over. She had briefed the occupants on John’...

Chapter 41

The debrief team arrive the next morning. A man and woman come in and set up recording equipment for the debrief. They told me their names but to be honest I forgot them quickly. Me and names are n...

Chapter 40

Blackness.

I am alone.

No.

No something is here.

No, not yet.

I have been here before.

I know this.

Something is out there.

Coming.

Yes, someth...

Chapter 39

It was fast.

Faster than any zombie.

Faster than the ghouls I had faced.

If I was not already in a position ready to fight it would have killed me. I got my shield up to meet it. ...

Chapter 38

My mind returns to the conversation I had with my mother when she finally came to understand the nature of my work. I remember her in my doorway when I spoke the words out loud.

We are losing...

Chapter 37

Five more zombies came charging out of the fog. They crashed into us but we held. Violent blows were exchanged with them. Limbs were flying in all directions. Over the next few minutes of intense a...

Chapter 36

It took longer than I hoped to get everyone moving. It was getting dark outside with the zone fog reducing the light dramatically. We knew this was going to be dangerous but we had to go. The colum...

Chapter 35

Gas canisters + fire = Explosion!

Simple math.

How to use this to my advantage and not get killed? Now that’s a good question. I had plenty of ideas but nothing that I could say for c...

Chapter 34

I quickly move over to her. She is shaking from the pain. It turns out it is her shield arm that is injured from the way she is favouring it. She still has hold of her weapon.

“One… of…...

Chapter 33

Karlsson returns to the service station.

“The stores are empty.” He told us.

“Thanks for checking. Ok, huddle up.” I pull my map out.

“Alright. We are going to be passin...
