Rage -- a novella

The zombies came at night. They entered homes, attacked, killed, fed and made more like them. It was a reality none thought would happen. On the night of the outbreak, John found his father chewing on little Skyler’s neck in a gore of blood and ripped flesh. Then John’s three year old daughter changed. He and his wife faced a challenge they never imagined.

Several months later, John and Sally find refuge in a camp that is trying to build a new life for every member. Teams are sent out to search for needed essentials. In an act of kindness, John is bitten by a newly infected comrade. Now he is a prisoner in the camp where he once found refuge with his wife.

But John doesn’t change. He is immune. One in a billion. But the camp fears what they don’t understand and they come as one to dispatch him. With the help of his wife, John runs.

Days later, in a forest clearing they find a house, but before they reach it, they are attacked by two hunters. John is captured and locked in a room with a zombie. He meets a doctor who is trying to put an end to the plague with disastrous results.

Knocked unconscious, John is given genetically modified zombie blood, making him something more than human, making him something more violent than a human, making him...RAGE.

A thinking, calculating, change-at-will monstrosity; whose only goal is to find his wife, Sally. And look out anyone standing in his way.
