This short story tells of a small town boy who is the only survivor of the zombie apocalypse in his town.Peter is a 13 yr old boy, nothing remarkable about him, except for being the only one left alive in town.  He has set up camp on the top of the water tower where he can look over the town.  With his tent, video games, and food, he is safe but lonely.The bad part about being from a small town is that you basically know everyone and thus has a relationship with most of the zombies that he runs into.  This was especially sad when he has an encounter with his best friend.I especially liked the fact that he had "food group" days in which he only ate certain foods... we do the same at my house but with letters of the alphabet just for fun... he did it with things like chips or candy bars, not quite the same but I could relate.Peter sees some people trying to get into town and they are killed by his zombies.  He has to make the decision - does he want to stay up on the tower interacting with his friends or try to find some "live" people.I thought it was a great little story and the author captured the emotions of a 13yr old boy perfectly - don't know what that says about him :-)  Check it out - you will enjoy it!
