Even in the second largest mega-city in the world, where the population stands at 13.65 million, there are still rats running in a thick miasma of thilth. If one sits still long enough these rats will chew them and, the concrete will swallow them. The cracks in the sidewalk become caverns and each piece of drifting debris becomes its own charging beast. The stinging, arctic walls leak with morning dew and wormholes wind in them. If one sits still long enough the city dominates them. And the coffins, the coffins are raw pure illustrations of what it means to be still. Inside there is no room for movement. No room to be regurgitated into sunlight. How can a person find themself in one of these perfect solutions. Inside a coffin of six by twenty four inches, a perfect solution to hide those in the city from those in the clouds. Small boxes that at some point in there existence were padded, a place for people who can’t sleep to lay awake, the perfect solution.

There's not a lot that can freak me out in this world. Only large animals with sharp claws, too many people touching me, bullies, hives, horror movies, sitting underneath fans or lights or anything that dangles from a ceiling, glass or wooden bridges, my mother, mosquitoes, public situations, taking a shower with nobody in the house, taking a shower with too many people in the house and crocks. Oh, and zombies. Zombies is definitely on that list. It's almost a shame too, that I have to race through a city packed full of them to find my missing family. Packed full of zombies, by the way, not crocks. (Although I don't know which situation is worse.) Now I have to not only keep my feeble body alive, but also protect (or be protected by) my two best friends in the entire world as we all try to survive in a city packed with the Dead.
