A quick sweep got rid of all lurchers remaining in the office building, though nobody was especially happy about staying there. There were two sofas in the lobby and that was about as luxuriant as it got. Uncomfortable computer chairs were the only other seats available. More to the point, there was no food aside … Continue reading ASAS: Survival of the Fittest–Chapter Two
The truck rumbled into another town midmorning the next day. It was just as well because they were practically running on fumes. The town was big enough to assume there’d be a petrol station and places in which to find food. The only problem was that there were lurchers—a lot of them! Kas had run … Continue reading ASAS: Survival of the Fittest–Chapter One
Not one person sat in the truck could quite get a handle on how the situation at New Haven, a situation that had seemed so perfect, had gone awry so quickly. Less than a week ago it had been the ideal safe zone, a properly run and maintained community. Now it was about to fall, … Continue reading ASAS: Survival of the Fittest–Prologue
I begin this post in the aftermath of seeing a short albeit very provocative video on Facebook about how Remembrance Day, the Poppy Appeal, and the Royal British Legion are racist and should be banned/disbanded. I was going to post something else today, but this definitely takes precedence. First of all, I’ll go into a … Continue reading We Will Remember Them (Whether You Like It or Not!)
Waaaaaay back in the early days of my blog I ran down what five of my favourite videogames were.

It turned out he’d been suspicious of Mel’s motives all along but had been reluctant to speak out in case it came back on him. “Pretty sweet that you’re gettin’ sex out of the whole thing. I thought you were keen on Georgina though? Isn’t that the reason for you doin’ all … Continue reading ASAS: New Black Plague–Chapter 11
“He never got the chance to reach a safe zone. I took care of him.”Georgina nodded her head slightly followed by a tearful outburst.Ryan had wanted to tell her in more heartfelt a fashion but was still seething after Harry’s belittling words prior to his death. He neglected to tell her exactly how Harry had … Continue reading ASAS: New Black Plague–Chapter 10
The truck came to a halt and the six men inside climbed out, including the driver. They each checked their weapons—standard army issue SA80 assault rifles—then started off down a path that led into the nearby woodland. Jay led the way with Kas and Ryan just behind him. Ryan felt naked without his 7-iron to … Continue reading ASAS: New Black Plague–Chapter 9
Just a couple of days after their arrival at the renegade safe zone of New Haven, the weather turned without any prior warning. As the residents slept at night, the skies opened up and the first showering of rain hit the ground in what had been a couple of months. It rained with a vengeance … Continue reading ASAS: New Black Plague–Chapter 8
“What’s going on?” Georgina asked in a breathy whisper, in a way glad of the distraction.“Might be a checkpoint,” Ryan conjectured.They all went quiet again and listened. The words “Just fucking move or you’ll be shot” could be heard quite clearly. This was no checkpoint; somebody was blocking the road.All of a sudden, gunshots rang … Continue reading ASAS: New Black Plague–Chapter 7
