Lies and dark family secrets that threaten to destroy her world.

The year is 2040 and it's been eighteen years since a deadly zombie apocalypse destroyed over 75% of the world's population. This is the story of Kaley Black and what her life is like growing up in a post-apocalyptic world.

"Just then there was another flash of lightning and I was face-to-face with a zombie who was standing just outside the window.  Staring into his cold dead eyes was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. And I swear that the blood in my veins actually froze for an instant, leaving me unable to move or even speak."

WHAT CAME AFTER

I shivered slightly in the cool evening air as I leaned over the porch railing and stared off in the distance. The sun was starting to drop in the sky, and the temperature was dropping quickly. Moose sniffed and snorted a few feet away as he frantically started digging a hole out by the withered old oak tree in the front yard. He looked up and noticed me watching him before giving an excited little yip as he continued digging. Moose could always find something to keep himself entertained; I thought with a smile as his silly antics momentarily distracted me from my thoughts. 


Tomorrow we would be leaving for Celeste's house back in New Orleans, and I really wasn't sure what I thought about it. Going home for reinforcements made the most sense, but on the other hand, I hated to leave when we were so close to finding Lucas. Why did life have to be so hard? I thought and started to call to Moose when I caught a flash of movement from the corner of my eye.
