Chapter Twenty-One

Robert Forenstein woke up early Monday morning after spending an exhausting weekend with his son. He went into the living room and turned on the morning news. General Poe was on the news at the construction site trying to talk over a noisy crowd in the background. He could see several signs being held up demanding the construction be stopped. His wife appeared behind him and glanced at the TV.

“People these days protest over everything,” she said, leaving to go into the kitchen. “Should we have pancakes and sausage this morning?”

“That sounds fine. The one thing people don’t realize is when they protest it often produces the opposite effect. This could backfire on them and make the park even more popular than we’re expecting. All this is free advertising for the park.”

“I’m sure they don’t see it that way. They think they’re going to stop the construction of the park. Don’t underestimate them, Robert. They will see it through until the end.”

“I’m counting on it. I hope news of the protest stretches across the country. I’m sure it will bring every horror fanatic to our city.” He watched as the reporter interviewed one of the men holding a protest sign.

He announced he was Donnie Jorsen, the leader of a group called PETZ who were here to stop the construction of the park, and they were going to do it by any means necessary. He talked about the movie Jurassic Park and about a zombie apocalypse. It was what Robert was hoping to hear. With the talk about a zombie apocalypse, people would come from across the seas to see the creatures of the apocalypse. He kept listening to Donnie as he talked about how it would only take one mistake and somebody getting bitten and then…a zombie apocalypse.

“What are you watching, Daddy?” asked Billy.

Robert turned off the TV and looked at Billy. “It was the morning news. I was hoping to catch the weather report. Your mother is making us pancakes and sausage for breakfast.”

“Yum! Pancakes and sausage are my favorites.”

“I know, Billy,” said his mother. “I made them especially for you.” She looked at Robert. “What are your plans for today?”

“I’m making a stop at the construction site. General Poe is expecting me to make an appearance.”

“Be careful. Protestors can get out of hand sometimes.”

He poured syrup on his pancakes. “Don’t worry. Every cop in the city will be in the area while the protesters are there.” He watched as his son jammed pancakes into his mouth. Watching him eat was always a sight to see. He looked at his watch and realized he was running behind schedule. He drank his coffee and looked at his wife. “I have to run.”

She gave him a kiss and ushered him out the door. “Be careful out there.”

He waved at her and got into his car. He knew what he would be facing once he got to the construction site.
