The Revenant
Does love end at death?
Can the living love the dead?
And are the dead finally free enough to love for the first time?
For the past month, Rick had been worried about Davey. All Davey did at night after work was sit on a balcony in the empty new dormitory wing, smoking and staring at the city lights below. Rick knew he was staring at the scorched black spot on the edge of Tusk that had been the gas station, obsessing about Maggie.
When Zombie slave master Doc Karshton told Rick they were going on a ride-along that fateful night, Rick had welcomed the idea. Getting away from the farm and having something to distract him might be just what Davey needed to pull him out of his funk.
Sure, Davey had been nervous about robbing Palaver's Tavern. It was to be his first time on a night ride and he'd been dreading taking part in a crime, especially one that might prove violent, but he would get over that quickly enough once he saw that it was no big deal, and maybe the drama of it would take his mind off of being brokenhearted, if just for an hour.
And then it all went south in an instant and they were both freaked out.
This is the second installment in a serialized novel. The first installment, Electro-Thrall Zombies, Book One, is available as a Kindle ebook.
Length: about 20,000 words. Print length is about 79 pages.
