About the Book:
A tragic past. A destined
reunion. A decaying hope.
In Southern California,
four friends must face a haunting nightmare from high school in order
to save the future of humanity. But will their personal conflicts get
in the way? Battling for survival, these fated four will choose
whether to follow a destined path or continue their dead lives, while
the zombie apocalypse feeds them one cliche after another.
EXCERPT TWO,
from the chapter SCOT
The red light, the
street lamps, the other cars on the road all blacked out at the same
time.
A bus, flames
leaping from its windows, raced down a hill straight for the upcoming
intersection. Scot lunged for the steering wheel as the SUV flew
under the stoplight. Glass sliced across the front seat, ripping into
his face. He tried to save them from flipping over, grabbing the
wheel with one hand. The sound of screeching tires rang in his ears.
The SUV lost control. Overpowered and weightless, his body was tossed
around. Screeching tires stopped. The ground flipped over his head.
Angela screamed
hysterically at his side. The roof smashed in, but his seatbelt
adeptly saved him from suffering a crushed skull.
Sparks flew in every
direction. We’re
sliding upside down! Squealing
metal was agony to his ears. Angela grabbed for his arm and he wanted
so badly to touch her skin. My
last human contact. He
fought to breathe, his chest feeling like a bus had crushed it.
Their SUV slammed to
a sudden halt, crashing into a titanic tree. Swinging like rag dolls
in their seats, Scot smashed his head, shards of glass cutting into
his skin.
Silence, what he’d
desired moments before the chaos, finally fell. The world stilled for
them briefly.

Zack Scott is the author
of THEIR DEADS LIVES, ONE PISSED OFF SHARK, and several short stories
he wrote for the 2013 Flash Fiction Challenge, where he made it to
the final round. Although he’s visited many areas in the world,
Zack has lived in Southern California most of his life. He grew up in
Los Angeles, attended undergrad at CSUCI in Ventura County, and
completed law school down in sunny San Diego. More recently, he was
living the startup life in Silicon Valley with the 500 Startups
accelerator program. He is licensed to practice law in California,
but more importantly he likes to hang his pants on his desk chair
rather than his closet. When he’s not writing stories, Zack can be
found in a never-ending wrestling match with his dog Leo or cooking
pasta while wearing a Chargers apron.
