I Had One Afternoon to Prepare for the Zombie Outbreak I Never Went to the Store

I Had One Afternoon to Prepare for the Zombie Outbreak I Never Went to the Store The stores were filling up, the gas lines were starting, and the first outbreak reports were moving west. Darren had one afternoon to prepare his family—and he made the choice not to join the crowds. Instead, he went home and used what they already had: bathtub water, old flashlights, a half-full truck, a weak fence, basic tools, and a house that was never meant to be a fortress. But when the power fails and infected begin moving through the neighborhood, the preparations that keep Darren, Sheila, and their son Connor safe start creating new problems of their own. With Connor’s inhaler nearly empty, an older neighbor alone across the street, and every light, sound, and trip outside carrying a cost, staying home becomes less about supplies and more about deciding what—and who—their preparation is actually for.
