The Only Place My Family Agreed On Was the First Place We Had to Abandon

The Only Place My Family Agreed On Was the First Place We Had to Abandon The cabin at Lake Newell was the one thing my family could still agree on. When the outbreak cut the roads and the emergency broadcasts began to fail, I treated that cabin like a problem I could solve with food counts, fuel estimates, and a few more days. I was wrong. As water systems fail, propane runs out, roads are deliberately blocked, and the infected move closer, my wife Bridget, my seventeen-year-old son Colton, my brother Owen, and I are forced to leave the only place we thought we could hold. What follows is a grounded zombie survival story about flooded roads, improvised survivor camps, convoy decisions, limited supplies, i and the harder question of when caution becomes another kind of danger. At the center of this story is a family trying to survive one man's need to control what can no longer be controlled.
