The Crossing: a Zombie Novella
“The two guys in the camouflage hunting outfits looked enough alike that they could have been brothers. They sure acted like it, both of them stinking of beer and sweat and singing along with an Iron Maiden CD they’d plugged into the truck’s stereo. The older man they called Jake sat in the back with us, a pistol across his lap. Jessica seemed to have slipped into a morose silence. She didn’t react to anything the men said, just stared silently out the window at the empty countryside. Riding between them, listening to the two idiots in the front seat, all I wanted to do was be invisible.
Eventually I saw a sign for a town called Harmony Springs, population 1,405. Harmony Springs was bigger than the little town where we’d been abducted, and it had obviously been hit hard since the Outbreak. Most of the buildings were burned, or so thoroughly looted that they looked like little more than empty shells. But there were zombies here. A crowd of them heard our truck coming and stopped, turnin...g their heads to follow our progress.MoreLess
