Life hasn't exactly gone according to plan for 26 year old Dawn. For starters, she always thought that she would have met the man of her dreams by now. But, if he's out there, she hasn't found him. 

Then there's the fact that she can't seem to find a job that doesn't involve hair nets, greasy food, or flimsy plastic bags. She's in debt up to her eyeballs and despite the promises of her college recruiter, no one is hiring. And that all adds up to her having to move back in with her mother, the woman whose favorite pastime is reminding her that her biological clock is ticking.

But, that's not even the worst detail in the sad story that is Dawn's life.

The worst part...

...Dawn is about to kick off the zombie apocalypse. 

If you have always wondered just how the undead got their beginnings, this is the story for you. Follow Dawn's decent into madness in this short story about the beginning of the end.

All 15-year-old Kenny wanted to do was live a quiet and peaceful life with his mother, the only person who he has left in the world. With his abusive father, mentally-ill best friend Shane, and enemies all around, he already has a hard-enough time achieving his goal and making the best of it. But life gets ten times worse when the apocalypse arrives. Now all Kenny has are two main goals for the rest of his days: protect the ones he loves, and survive the flesh-eating beasts that are hunting him down. "I finally look at Shane after all of this... he's terrified. I mutter only one little thing to my best friend before the chaos breaks loose: 'Run.'"
