The City Series (Book 1): Mordacious - Plot & Excerpts
I’m kidding, really, but I have to uphold the old New York-New Jersey beef. I might be the only person left to do it. It sure seems that way—the streets are quiet in this stretch of 1940’s suburban homes. A few standalone businesses dot what was probably once the main thoroughfare, now supplanted by the highway. The grass isn’t yet overgrown and spring flowers are in evidence. The lack of broken windows makes it look as though everyone just up and disappeared. Only a scrap of leaflet—that holds the handwritten message SAFE ZO—is proof that zombies do exist. That, and the zombie that’s now moving toward me from a driveway between two houses, his tan t-shirt torn and dirty. He trips off the curb with a grunt and raises an arm. It’s because he wants to eat me, but I wave as I roll past and say, “And a good day to you, sir.” It’s strange to have left a city teeming with them to arrive here. I don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but it seems impossible that this can last.
