Description:

The end of the world really sucks. I knew it wasn’t going to be fun—no one ever associates the endtimes with good times—but I figured I’d be somewhere safe when the meteors hit. Or dead. Not trapped in my office building with a gun nut, a former Boy Scout, and a golden retriever. Yeah, yeah, spare me your chuckles; I can’t help that we’re a perfect little post-apocalyptic family unit. But seriously, how are we supposed to deal with Armageddon if we can’t deal with each other? We’re stuck, you see. The meteors wiped out a heck of a lot of infrastructure, and rescue is slow in coming. And did I mention the dead are waking up and shuffling around? Oh, yeah. The dead. They're a really nice little add-on to this apocalypse. They keep coming after us, and there’s more everywhere I look. I think they’re hungry...very hungry. It gets worse, though: I don't think they can be warded off by sarcasm. I'm screwed. * * * Grave New World is a tongue-in-cheek zombie novella of approximately 40,000 words. Revised edition uploaded April 2014: Now with slightly more blood splatter! **
