      Chapter One

      October 3rd, 2014 12:34 A.M.

      I’m not really sure how I should start this out; I’ve never been much of a writer. Since I have only two bullets left, which are reserved for use in the very near future, I might as well start from the beginning of the events that led us here. It will give me something to occupy my mind, sort of detach me from the situation at hand so I can better cope. Someone has got to leave of record of these things; I guess it will be me. Not that I believe that there will be anyone left to read it, I just think that if I put it down on paper that it will help me to realize that I will not be committing murder and suicide. I will be showing us a great act of mercy. Never in a million years would I have ever thought that I would have to kill him. I’m not going to kill him because of arguments, or money, or infidelity. You know… the normal reasons spouses usually kill each other over. I am going to kill him because, he has been bitten. Bitten? By what? A zombie. A what? I said zombie. Zombie!? Awwwe, nooo waaay, Dude! Yes, way. He’s been bitten by a rot faced, shit kicking zombie. I know… I can hardly believe it myself. I have accepted, (for the most part) that Evan is going to become a zombie and try to eat me. I don’t know when. I know that in the movies it only takes a few minutes for them to turn after being bitten. I guess it would have to since they need to fit all that action into one hundred and twenty minute shows. Not now, though. In the real world, the virus that has invaded our country, could take up to three days. That’s a good thing; it gives you a little time. It has now been twenty-seven hours since it happened. His breathing is becoming shallow now, so I may have just a few minutes, possibly a few hours. I will go on as long as I can. I will begin by telling you a little bit about us.

      My name is Jillian Drake and I am here with my husband Evan. We are both 37 years old. We were living in Ft. Myers, Florida. I have waist length wavy auburn hair, blue eyes, a straight nose, and a little gap between my two front teeth. I like to think it’s my trademark. I’m a little chunky, I haven’t always been. Pleasingly plump is what I call it, though I have lost quite a bit in light of the past few week’s events. (Too bad it took a crisis to get me to lose 20 pounds). Evan used to tell me that I looked like (with my mouth shut) the beautiful actress Rachel Weisz (who I’m guessing is not so pretty anymore). I didn’t agree, but I’ll gladly take it.

      I met my husband while I was working in a diner. He walked in the door with the most amazingly beautiful bright green eyes, and dark brown hair that is just half a shade from being black. He was wearing a white T-shirt with the sleeves rolled up, blue jeans that fit him very well and work boots. In my book, there isn’t anything in the world a man can wear that makes him hotter than that. Whew! I swear I couldn’t concentrate! I botched every order I took except for his. I couldn’t keep my eyes off his mouth, perfectly plump, beautifully shaped lips that are a natural shade of purple. He caught me looking a couple times and I was only slightly embarrassed, I wanted him to see me looking. It was definitely lust at first sight. We dated for a few months before we got married, barefoot on the beach.

      It was just the two of us and Reverend Hostetler, the cute little old Amish preacher that performed the ceremony. It was perfect. Evan did get a little impatient with the longwinded speech the Reverend was giving about marriage and as soon as he paused, Evan interrupted and said as sweetly as possible, Can I kiss my bride now? and the preacher said No, I’m not finished yet. We all laughed at this and finished the ceremony. We spent the next two days and nights in a beachfront room at the Island Pier Hotel. In the evening we pulled our chairs down on the sand and kicked back with our beers in hand, without a word we watched the sun go down while we listened to the sounds of the Gulf. It was definitely a Corona moment. We’ve been pretty much inseparable ever since, we have never spent a night apart. That was seven years ago. I know - I know. It’s the shortest love story you have ever heard. There’s no time for an epic romance novel, or the steamy erotic tale it would be if I included the juicy bits.

      So now, I will get to the point. I am guilty of being addicted to Resident Evil games, zombie movies, shows, and books. I had seen Return of the Living Dead when I was ten and it scared the shit out of me, but I knew it was only make believe so I became a little bit of a zombie fanatic. Even though I was so fascinated by zombies, they went on the back burner for a little while after I read ‘Interview with a Vampire’. I fell in love with Lestat, as did everyone else on the planet. It was all about vampires after that. I wanted to be one so bad; I really wish I could be one right now. I would make Evan my immortal companion before the Infection set in enough to ravage his
