STANDING AT THE kitchen window, Catherine was ready for trouble even before she heard the honking horn. “Good grief.” She glanced out of the window and saw Cassie first, followed by countless numbers of undead pouring onto her land.

“No!” She cried out, her hand wavered over the red alarm button at the side of the oven, but she knew there was no point in triggering the alarm when she was the only one in the house. She grabbed all of the weapons she could find in the kitchen and raced out the door.

“No!” She screamed as an unsteady Cassie fell beneath the hands and teeth of a small horde of undead. Fear constricted her chest, and for a fraction of a moment, the colours of the landscape leeched out, and became grades of grey. “Get off.” She roared and a few of the lumbering zombies moved in her direction. “How dare you.” She stepped closer shotgun in hand, a rifle slung across her shoulder, and pockets heavy with the handguns she had gathered. Catherine was ready for a small war.

She fired once and a rotting head exploded. With lethal economy, she pumped and fired the shotgun like a Valkyrie possessed. Her shots came so fast and accurate even Cassie would have been proud.

At her side, the three dogs waited with hackles up and teeth bared. “Dogs go get,” she yelled, although she had no idea what they would do, they weren’t hers nor had they been trained to her commands. She was gratified when they raced for the closest moving figures and with growls and snarls laid into the animated dead.

Catherine moved in the direction of Cassie’s last stand and shot anything that got in the way. She kept firing until she was out of shots. She threw the shotgun to the ground, unslung the rifle from her shoulder, and fired shot after shot into the zombies. With every step, a zombie head exploded and carcasses crumpled to the ground.

Glowing red eyes caught her attention as she ejected the spent magazine and grabbed another from her pocket. She reloaded, pointed her weapon in the direction of a cloaked figure and aimed. The Necromancer ran off. “Come back here,” Catherine yelled. “I want a word with you.” She fired off a couple of shots. “Coward!” The figure disappeared into the shadows and she emptied the rest of the magazine into the shuffling zombies.

“Pah.” The magazine clicked empty and she dropped the weapon to the ground and pulled a Browning semi-automatic from her belt. A much used, hand-me-down gift from her uncle, it was her favourite weapon, and she felled half a dozen more zombies as she closed in on the pile of bodies covering Cassie.

She grabbed the topmost zombie by the remains of its hair, but before it fell apart she put the muzzle of the gun to its temple and shot it dead. She grabbed another by the shoulder, the deteriorating cadaver so light it was easy to lift and shoot dead.
