Excerpt:
A woman moved in front of the camera,
pushing the reporter out of the way with her body, before grabbing the
microphone from his slack grip. Her face was pale, but her dark eyes were
filled with determination as she stared into the lens. She got right to the
point.
“Don't let this reporter sugarcoat this with his evasions.
There are dead people walking out there, and they are fast, deadly, and
supernaturally strong. There is a name for them, one we've heard before but
thought was only fiction. These dead people are zombies, and they don't care
about nothing but getting their teeth into your flesh.”
The reporter tried to grab the microphone back, but she shot
him a deadly look. “You're not getting this till I'm done,” she told him in a
firm voice. “I'm not gonna stand by while you get your five seconds of fame and
leave these innocent people out there to die. People deserve to know what they
are up against, and how to protect themselves. Now back off.” Surprisingly, he
stood still and listened.
She turned back to the camera. “I know there are some of you out
there that don't believe in this. You wanna box it all up, neat and tidy-like,
and believe that there must be some rational explanation for this, and come
morning it will all be gone. If you believe that though, you're going to find
yourself dead before the sun ever hits the sky tomorrow.”
About the Author:
When
not writing, I enjoy traveling, meeting new people, and having fun! I love
plotting what my characters will do next, and thinking up exciting, dangerous,
and edgy books. I've been told I have a wicked sense of humor and often this
can be seen in my writing.
I
have a ton of likes, most especially books, gorgeous men, The Walking Dead, and
True Blood. I interact quite a bit on my website, offering unique giveaways and
having fun meeting readers. Feel free to drop by and post a comment!
