I think leaving was the best thing he could do since he wasn't ready to tell the camp. Hope there's some love in store for him. Please don't let him get hurt...
Good story; but then I don't count as i love any kinda zombie or end of the world story. The weirder the better..This one is so well written and has great characters. thank you for writing it!
oh and before i forget, please have one of the crazies bite Mark right in the balls. thank you very much!
i'm going back to reread it again now. cant wait for chapter 2!
the rapes are completely atrocious but I guess its part of the plot. looking forward to things getting better for poor Jonah.
This is really good cant wait to read more. Update SOON!!!! Please!!
Great story so far! I agree with Julri about Mark, hope the bastard gets it from the zombies!
god i hate mark i hope he is torn apart by the crazies.
poor jonah he realy needs someone to protect him.
ps. hurry with next chapter please.
Great story! You always surprise me with your wide range of story lines, from sweet and tender to hard and violent. I like it! Looking forward to Chapter 2!
1st line of story:
Rabies IS a virus, but mad cow disease is not. It is caused by a prion - a normal protein that has folded wrong. The cows got it from eating contaminated food products (mashed brains of other animals), which is how it got passed to humans (in contaminated beef).
I think Julri has started something about Mark(?) and where he gets it lol :) Love the longer chapter btw. This sounds like a good story.
I love the wide range of your story lines, though I find myself drawn the most to your darker stories. Can't wait to see what happens next.
I seriously hope that Mark is being stopped in the next chapter. I don´t like reading about abuse and I almost feel you are liking it a lot. There may be readers that appreciate this kind of fiction - I don´t. It just shows how perverted we as a species really are to the extend that there are people liking to read about such atrocities.Why can´t you make it more enjoyable- I think there are a great many readers who would like romance and being nice to one another much more than your perverted kind of writing!
I could just remove this comment if I wanted to, but since you didn't have the balls to insult me with your name attached, I want to make sure you see this.
Not everything is sugar and honey. Many of the stories on lit are kept light and happy to appease the readers. I hope the readers like my stories, but I'm not going to curb where my stories want to go to make them happy.
BTW, Check out my ratings. People like the dark. If you want to read something happy, go somewhere else.
Dear, please just ignore the comment from anonymous below. U were right, no one pushing him/her to read, and the most important if he/she wants to read some kind of that sweet-sappy-romantic story just find it.
But anyway, when is the chap 2 gonna be posted? :)
Love the idea of the bite tough"
just one thing to say:
come on jess be a hero, jonah needs you.
awesome, more please ;0)
Very good. Everyone is writing about werewolfs and vampires. I'm glad someone thought to write about "zombies".
It's a very good start, very heavy but interesting.
Reading it makes me feel like I'm watching a film, but that might be because I'm a zombie movie freak.
Looking forwards to your next chapter....please don't take too long. I'm already dying.
An amazing and sad story. Poor Jonah and I hope Mark get what he deserves the bastard!!! (Sorry for swearing)
There was a movie a couple of years ago titled The Crazies. A government plane crashed into a swamp near a small town. A bio-weapon was spilled into the water and ended up contamination the towns water supply. Your description of the people in your story is almost the same as the way the infected people in the movie behaved. You may call them zombies, but they aren't really undead. Even down to the people running and hiding your story is similar.
The story is good, but it still seems to be plagiarizing the movie.
And no, I don't think I'm ripping that off. If anything, I'm doing a hybrid of 28 days later and the walking dead.
'Zombies' or any reincarnation of them, undead or not, are a concept. You cannot plagiarize a concept. That's like saying that everyone who writes a story about werewolves is ripping off 'American werewolf in london'.
'The Crazies' was a movie based on a single town (not entire world) who got poisoned by a biotoxin (not a disease) and started acting in several ways, from violent to confused to suicidal. The movie was pretty shitty, involving a couple characters trying to escape, and the BIG BAD GOVERNMENT crackdown. (as opposed to drama between the survivors, and an extensive look at the aftermath)
I'm sorry, but I get kind of touchy when someone accuses me out of the blue of plagiarizing, especially a shitty movie that has almost nothing to do with my story except the title.
its not an easy read, but it is an addictive one. You've done a great job and for me a lot oz zombie movies are very samey. This has something quite unique, though im not 100% sure what that is lol. I do know ive got a wobbly tummy from worrying about jonah, so im going to go rush over to chapter 2 just as soon as i can!! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for having the guts to write down this path. Be true to yourself, and the story, no matter what life it takes on. You stated in the forum about how it was turning out dark, and morbid, but sometimes stories do that, if they gain a life of their own.
I would just let it flow.
KUDOS!!!!!!
Your work is magnificent, it's all I ask for when looking for stories on this site. I'm a huge sucker for dystopian futures/zombies/nuclear fallout stories. I'm looking forward to finishing this series!
"It was a viral infection, spread through bodily fluid contact, similar in structure to both rabies and mad cow disease." - this might benefit from a bit of editing. There's no "structural" similarity between rabies and mad cow disease - between mad cow disease and creutzfeldt jakob disease, yes - both have a similar effect on the brain as Alzheimer's. Mad cow disease is caused by mutated prions (protein molecules), and there's some evidence that Alzheimer's may, in part, have the same cause. Rabies is caused by a virus - that's correct.
To previous, I think it's from the book :) Cruel, you're awesome. 5stars
You made me cry buckets for poor Jonah - I kept wishing for Jess to come in while fucking bastard Mark was molesting the poor boy - I can't believe these people are this clueless - it's too sad for words !
If I knew Mark, i would kill him
Well I don't enjoy reading rape scenes, so there wasn't much here for me. By the way, feel free to tag it as such next time. Are these the "fascinating romance opportunities" you spoke of in the foreword? If so, I think I'll pass.
Also gotta say these characters seem about as dumb as the average cast of any zombie flick. If Jonah was willing to leave at all then the smart move would have been to do it before he was seriously injured and could gather up more supplies. And anyone with Jess's survival skills that is anchoring himself down to a big group is just asking for trouble. Ya know, it almost felt like these characters were "boneheaded idiots bent on destroying themselves."
