Van Allen Fiction by Screaming Weasel Productions is my latest work. I'm a former Captain in the US Marines who now writes thrillers and futuristic adventures, including stories with conspiracy theories, alien invasions, space wars, and of course the zombie apocalypse. In my 21-year military career, I developed expertise in both combat training early on and then criminal investigations later on. While in the Marines, I completed a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Texas A&M University and a Masters in Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Originally from Houston, Texas and currently residing in Frisco, Texas, I fancy myself a secret physics, statistics, and data nerd. I'm also known today for being a part-time tennis strategy and coaching genius...by my kids...sometimes.

Introduction

So, the world is going to end up in the shitter one day because of a zombie outbreak. What can you expect? What should you be doing now? What are the keys to your survival in a full-blown zombie pandemonium?

Scientists around the world all agree that the next global pandemic outbreak with the potential to kill off millions of people worldwide is just hanging over the world’s neck like an eager executioner’s axe, waiting to fall, just waiting. Oh, it will happen, sooner than later. The last major global pandemic outbreak was in 1918, almost a hundred years ago. Everyone agrees, we are overdue right now.

It’s the holiday season in America, cold weather forces people inside, gift-giving brings everyone together, college football bowl games and major flu outbreaks lead the news headlines, and you are ready, calmly watching for any reports of other strange things going on out there. Just as the New Year begins, more and more stories of flu deaths flood the news. There’s no discounting the seriousness of what’s going on.

Every news program leads off with the same frightening topic: growing death counts. You hear the words epidemic, pandemic, and outbreak daily, hourly, minute to minute. Everyone keeps track of flu related deaths. News trackers and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (www.CDC.gov) apps on your cellphone show the total deaths by date and area. You can search on their app for the names of people you know confirmed dead. You try not to worry—you got your flu shot three months ago—you researched flu outbreak preparedness on www.flu.gov. Some bookie in Vegas lets people bet on the daily total number of deaths.

You hear something about mutant flu strains. You don’t get it. You don’t understand. Someone on the news said this year’s flu vaccination won’t protect people from this deadly strain. Some other news talking head said the flu vaccine for this year does offer some level of protection. All your life you never heard of the flu killing anyone; you’ve never known anyone to die of the flu. Now you know lots of dead flu victims, neighbors, coworkers, sports heroes, movie stars, pop stars, business leaders, politicians, Tom frickin’ Brady. You don’t feel like anyone is safe. You don’t feel safe.

I heard there were 16 more deaths in our county last night, your coworker says after calling in sick. You called him to make sure he was okay. He’s okay, but he isn’t taking any chances by coming to work.

Several coworkers asked to take leave because the school district closed the schools and they have to stay home with their kids. You heard one news puppet say this outbreak would be especially tough on kids and those with kids. You’re not altogether sure why.

Bob at the water cooler seems to be keeping his distance from you. His nervous chatter worries you more.

I hear they’re cancelling any and all mass gatherings of people. No more sports events. No more church. No nothing after today. Do you have guns? I’ll buy a gun from you. Name your price.

The man is usually very well dressed like a magazine cover model. Not today. Today he looks scared and tired and nervous. His hands shake. He smells like alcohol, rum if you guessed right. He’s drinking lots of water you notice.

I don’t have any guns, you reply.

Do you know somebody who’s got some? You gotta know somebody with guns.

You don’t know anybody who has guns. Now you’re wondering if you should have added guns and ammo to your stockpile of things back at your home. You make a note to ask your mother about guns later when you call her to check on her.

Fred, the IT guy arrives at work late. He says someone broke into his home yesterday and stole all his supplies while he was at work yesterday. He’s crying a little as he calls out all the things they stole, all his bottled water, dry foods and canned foods, his generator, his flashlights, first aid kits, toilette tissue, napkins, hand sanitizer, soap, baby items like diapers, bottles and baby food, his cigarettes, beer, and booze. He says he’s worried because all the stores in his neighborhood gave out ration cards and he can’t go back to the store for three more days. He closes the door to his office and puts his head down on his desk.

Passing by, you notice another coworker in the cubicle across from you has a serious case of the sniffles and she doesn’t look well. You mention this to your supervisor.

Your supervisor, wearing a surgical mask, yells at her, Get the hell out of here Francine. Don’t come to work if you’re sick.

She sniffs and mumbles, I’m Paulette. Francine died last week. I don’t have any more sick days and I can’t afford to miss work.

I don’t give a shit. Either walk out of here right now or I’ll have security kick you out, your supervisor yells from a distance.

Not much work is getting done where you work, an accounting firm. Meanwhile select politicians from Washington DC have evacuated that city and are somewhere at a secret location in Joshua Tree. You read this on a blog sitting in your cubicle. At the end of the day, your supervisor says that all employees are excused from reporting to work until further notice.

Later that night, a pasty-faced politician from San Antonio, Texas comes on TV and with a very worried look on his face tells everyone not to panic. Your girlfriend calls and says her mother isn’t answering her phone anymore. She thinks the worst. She called the police and they said they would check on her mother and let her know later when they do. They told her to stay home. She says she’s not coming over to stay with you until things calm down.

Police have announced a curfew, the news reporter says just now. Police have set up a community detention center at Emmitt Parker High School and plan to detain anyone not adhering to the curfew beginning tonight.

Later another news reporter says, FEMA and the CDC staffers plan to set-up vaccination centers at local schools and will go door to door offering shots.

A person interviewed for the report speaking into the camera shouts, They are not offering shots if they knock on your door with Police and military commandos who hold you down while they inject God knows what into your body. This is still America. The government can’t make me take a shot.

You change the channel and see a broadcast from Al Jazeera reporting on flu deaths and rioting in Egypt, then Somalia, and then Iran.

On FOX News, another talking head says, The CDC should just let this flu run its course. Sure it will kill a lot of people, but those who are left behind will be stronger. That’s not just evolution, it’s also biblical.

You call your mother. She sounds tired, but she spends the next 45 minutes rambling about some government conspiracy paranoia and reading Bible verses to you. You try to shake the idea that she sounds a lot like David Koresh. You watched the documentary of the government’s take down of the Branch Davidians a couple of weeks ago. Their doomsday prophecies creeped you out. Now you’re not so sure they weren’t right. You tell your mother you have to go so you can watch the news.

If anybody survives this, it will be her, you say under your breath.

In the news, non-essential government offices close. National Guard forces fully activate with some reports of Guardsmen failing to report. People panic and authorities lock-down airports and major interstate roads. Everyone everywhere now knows someone who died from the flu in the last 30 days. It’s worse in the larger cities. A Federal Agent comes on TV and admits to the news anchor that the government did in fact vacate Washington DC and moved to a remote
