Zombie Fallout 5: Alive in a Dead World (46 page)

Indian Hill

This first story is about an ordinary boy,
who grows up in relatively normal times to find himself thrust into
an extra-ordinary position. Growing up in suburban Boston he enjoys
the trials and tribulations that all adolescents go through. From
the seemingly tyrannical mother, to girl problems to run-ins with
the law. From there he escapes to college out in Colorado with his
best friend, Paul, where they begin to forge new relationships with
those around them. It is one girl in particular that has caught the
eye of Michael and he alternately pines for her and then laments
ever meeting her.

 It is on their true ‘first’ date that
things go strangely askew. Mike soon finds himself captive aboard
an alien vessel, fighting for his very survival. The aliens have
devised gladiator type games. The games are of two-fold importance
for the aliens. One reason, being for the entertainment value, the
other reason being that they want to see how combative humans are,
what our weaknesses and strengths are.

 Follow Mike as he battles for his life
and Paul as he battles to try and keep main stream US safe.

After escaping from the alien vessel with
their Supreme Commander, Michael Talbot is now given the
opportunity to hide in obscurity with the rest of the human race or
rise to the occasion and once again he finds himself immersed in a
battle that he wants nothing to do with.

Mike goes home and while reconnecting with a
family that believed him dead, he decides to join whatever
resistance force can be mustered to repel the oncoming invasion. As
the world of man gets thrust towards the abyss of extinction, two
women in love with the same man make a desperate bid to travel
across the country to unite with him. Will mankind fall or will the
tiny hu-mans thwart a takeover? Only time and bloodshed will
tell.

Back in September of 2011 I had written on
facebook my desire to put out a book that was completely written by
fans based on the Zombie Fallout world, and whereas I did get some
great submissions it was not near the volume I needed to make a
full size tome. In the mean time Tammie Holloway the Director
ROP/CTE of the Napa County Office of Education contacted me and
said that she had a great idea in regards to getting their student
population excited about reading.

What she proposed was that the high school
students create art based on the series and submit it for
submission into the book. I said “Sure they can create the art, but
I’m not judging it.” (chicken – I know but I didn’t want to have
that much responsibility!) So they had a competition on their end
with about 300 kids getting involved, I told her to send me the top
dozen (she sent me 13, not sure what that says about the California
educational system, but I’ll let that go, I didn’t want to have to
tell any of the kids they were cut, she had to tell 287 of
them.)

Below are the finalists in the competition,
if you could do some applause for each one, I know they would
greatly appreciate it!

A huge thank you to all the students that
participated I greatly appreciate it!
