Zombie Apocalypse Part 2: Gainesville

By Larry Brasington

Downtown First Contact
Z Hour

Jessica Lake, a slim brunette who definitely rated a second or third glance in her little black dress and heels, got out of her friend Tina’s Mustang and waved goodbye. Tina and Jessica had enjoyed a girl’s night out: drinking, clubbing, flirting and dancing. The evening had been a great success, so much so that her first step toward her parked car in the downtown-parking garage almost made her fall. She balanced herself quickly and paused to let the woozy feeling past. When she had recovered, she stood erect. At that moment, a breeze brought a whiff of something rotten to her nostrils. Ooh, probably some homeless person, she reassured herself.

As Jessica started to walk towards her car, ahead a shadow seemed to drift by the outside columns not far from where she had parked. A shiver ran through her. She glanced quickly back over her shoulder, only to see the Tina’s taillights disappear around the corner of the building. Damn.

Short Bio As an author I the stories I write are ones I want to read. Having grown up in the Black and White movie days I saw every black and white Horror film, Detective Story and war movie I could. The Thin Man, Kansas City Connection, Maltese Falcon, Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Original Thing, the Day the Earth Stood Still, D-Day, Iwo Jima, Rhodan, Godzilla, just to name a few. I devoured books about American history. My first published story in 1968, “Temple in the Swamp”, a H. P. Lovecraft like tale, which might have been the start of my zombie phase. I enjoy writing stories that I would like to read. Currently I have published three novels: “Alien Madness” a science fiction tale, “Unholy War: the Brandenburgers—Russia 41” an alternative history-fantasy, and “Beyond the Wall” a historical adventure set in 168 AD in Scotland. I currently have a series of stories about Shane Eiland, Elf Detective called “Sum Yung Gye” and “The Case of the Missing Husband”. These are Noir style mysteries with a super hero flavor are my favorites and I hope the reader will enjoy them to.
