Knox County Survival, Part One
Prose piece, first person perspective of the undead apocalypse. Written in a journal by one man surviving, just barely, at ground zero for the epidemic. Action heavy and serious. Part of a continuing series.

Ate my last can of food today. Been eating dog food the past week. Tried mixing the last package of beef ramen with it. Threw it out after choking down half the sludge. Now, wish I'd kept it.

For the Ones Left Behind
I shed no tears for you who sleep,
nor for the clay that breathes no more;
for why should any faithful weep

nor douse bereavement's wicked bite,
