NZP Survival/Issue 6

The past two days had taken their toll on Douglas and Chris, as well as all of the others. Presumabley, most of the car drivers and their families joined the Undead. They now infested the town, blissfully unaware of the presence of survivors camping under a hill. Jeff Lunt, Alison's brother, was assigned to security with Tom and Bill. Jeff ventured out of camp, whilst Tom and Bill stood at the entrance to the circle. The night had been filled with undead moans and the local mother Paula grew fear for her daughter Megan. She caused a row between Kevin until he sent the three to go check the park's safety. Paula, in concern for her daughter, joined Jeff.

"It looks like there's no way in hell Zombies can climb over the gates," Jeff said turning on his torch. It flickered in protest before shining it's light. He turned to Paula, who's age has not let her looks fade. She still retained a youthful look with shoulder length shiny blonde hair. Her look of concern pierced Jeff. Jeff had yet left his youth, but his dirty brown bear and wrinkles could suggest otherwise.

"I remember why I was concerned now, Megan always used to mention that a bunch of stoners hung out in the park corner, said they used to sneak in through a hole and if the cops showed up, they'd run through it and into the street," Paula said nervously.

"I just hope this hole is small, if not non-exsistent," Jeff stated.

"Yeah, me too," Paula said, "It's over there, behind the trees."

The two approached the corner, the aroma caused Paula's eyes to instantly water. She gasped, and turned to vomit. Jeff covered his mouth as the rotting body of a stoner lay next to the gate, in pieces. A large chunk of his torso's left side was missing, with intestines pouring out. The lower half of his arms were missing, aswell as one entire leg. "Who is that?" Jeff choked.

"It's my girl's husband," Paula said holding a tissue to her face, "He never beat his war against drugs. The Zombies must take advantage of it. Look."

Next to Nathan was a gaping hole, with numerous Zombies standing outside. Jeff froze on the spot, and Paula pulled on his arm "Jeff, we need to go" she whispered. Jeff staggered before going into a sprinting retreat. The few Zombies limped inside, and dropped to feast on Nathan's remains.
