The action unravels quickly when the father breaks the bad news to his wife and the arrival of the grandparent knowledge, that all is to head for a safe haven. The action moves so fast, that the family has little time to prepare for the trip. CJ's dad has all of them pack clothes and a few toys to keep Hailey occupied. The youngest son CJ who is thirteen is describing all of the events of his youngest sister Hailey, and his parents. After they make their appearance CJ's grandparents and his aunt Laura head out for the family cabin in the woods. CJ's family is soon to follow. The second vehicle is not without an incident. Casualties soon happen, and they head out to get to the cabin. His uncle Josh is to join them later. Without giving too many details the author keeps the story flowing smoothly, and CJ becomes a man at such a young age. I guess I am hooked about the earlier released story A New Death, and I plan to read to catch the rest of the story back drop. Although I have read many stories in this universe, I did like the writer's clear and easy prose that makes the story easy to follow. Stories have to be entertaining, and this one was to no doubt by this reader. There is a preview of the main novel, A New Death along with the CJ's short story to give another glimpse of his family in the Zombie world.
