Cowboy Zombie — a post apocalyptic adventure
CHAPTER ONE

“Are we ever ready for these things?”
Sharp glanced at Pam and gave a slow shake of his head.
“I don’t know what we’re going to find out there,” he said.
“You still trying to talk me out of it?”
He looked past her to the caravan of dusty buses in the morning sun. They were packed with people, hers and his. All of them relying on his expertise and experience to keep them safe.
It wasn’t enough.
This world was still too new for experience to count, especially his. And expertise at what? Killing dead things walking? There were worse things than Z out there, and he knew it.
“We could be safe here,” he said, indicating the walls. “They survived this long. We can hold out for another rescue party. I could send for help, and once your dad gets the message, he’ll rescue you again.”
She nodded.
“He would try. How many more people are going to die while we wait? How many more people would get killed trying to save one person?” she put a hand on his shoulder.
“One hard winter could kill us all, and you don’t seem like the type to go down without a fight.”
