Chester murmured. “Now where did I read that?” He couldn’t remember. “Perhaps it was one of old Fogerty’s stories.” Yes, he decided that was it. As far as armour went, his wouldn’t be recognised by any of the castle’s ancient inhabitants. The Kevlar plates had come from an exhibit on the equipmen...
There’s no other word to describe it. I’m trapped in a small room with zombies beating against the walls outside. I have a litre of water, a handful of high-calorie ration bars that only the most desperate of submariners would call food, and I’m alone. Unlike when I was tr...
Reflexively, he rolled over. The cot folded up on itself, and he collapsed to the floor. He scrabbled to his feet, trying to remember where he was and what was happening. A tent. The ramshackle refugee center in Overpeck Park. Zombies. There was a rhythmic rat-a-tat from a heavy machine gun that ...
Maggie said as Ruth opened the door. “If I knew you were going to finish at this time, I’d have asked you to pick up the— what happened to your face?” Ruth half raised a hand before she remembered it was covered in blood. “It’s not mine,” she said. ...

Tom knew it was only a few miles by the twin-engine jet that soared up into the sky at the same time as the motorbike’s engine died. Tom squinted at the plane as it banked to the west. He’d seen that make of aircraft at a dozen regional airports over the years, but couldn’t even guess at its capa...
Jay said. “Because I don’t trust the government,” Nilda replied. “Yeah, Mum, you already said that. But you didn’t say why.” She reached across the small table in the small kitchen of their small house and took her fifteen-ye...

George Tull glared at the television as the Foreign Secretary pontificated on the need for... George wasn't sure. He'd turned the set on hoping to hear the news but expecting to hear nothing more than the oft repeated phrase “There are no major outbreaks in the UK or Ireland”. Instead he'd had to...
Corporal Derry? Is that you?” Derry looked up and saw a man with a vaguely familiar face, wearing a uniform as familiar as her own. “Thompson?” she asked, and the memory came back. “That thing in the Sahara, eighteen months ago, right? And you made it to corporal, too.” &n...
