harboring a terrifying secret.

for the innocent residents and tourists?
PREY FOR THE DEAD
residents
NOWHERE TO HIDE
A town full of happiness & joy
has turned sad like a broken toy.
Where once tourists frolicked in the sun,
frightened residents are on the run.
PREY FOR THE DEAD
THE DEAD WILL FALL
Take me to Oasis,
where demons roam
and The Dead play.
Take me to Florida,
to the ocean paradise,
where good triumphs evil.
Take me to the shore,
where the residents gather
and The Dead will fall.

MY NEXT STOP
Oasis is my next stop.
The Dead’s playground.
I can hear their cries.
Tourists caught in their traps.
Residents falling for their lures.
They haven’t been warned.
Weren’t told to stay away.
A den of evil in paradise.
It’s now my turn to retrieve.

AN EVIL UNDERCURRENT
Cape Cod July 2013_-60 (by jackfrench)
Sunset brings the night.
It brings dark shadows.
Hues of red fill the humid air.
Blood flows freely through the streets.
The residents hide behind closed doors.
Tourists huddle in fear at their hotel.
The town waits deserted and quiet.
The woods behind town rumble with music.
Champagne flows at the mansion of an original resident.
Dignitaries fly in from around the world.
Limousines line the forest paths.
Guests swirl around the dance floor.
Linda is afraid of the lifelike glass statues.
She watches the beautiful guests laugh and drink.
But beneath it all she can feel an evil undercurrent.
As if evil is waiting to raise it ugly head.
The Dead Game has just begun.
THE DEAD GAME
THE DEAD WALKING
Paradise waits for us.
A perfect oasis.
Waves cascade onto
white-sanded beaches.
Guests lounge around
the hotel’s swimming pool.
Quaint stores dot Main Street
in shades of the rainbow.
Life is beautiful.
Until night comes.
Waves hit the shore
with their increasing fury.
The sun bows out.
The moon takes its place.
The night brings The Dead walking
into a town near you.
THE DEAD GAME
A HOUSE ALONE
THE DEAD GAME — WERE THEY SAFE AT LAST?
Was the town safe at last? Was it free from The Dead? Would it become a paradise once again for the residents and tourists?
Chapter 39
“We should check on your store,” Todd said to Linda as they drove from the estates.
“Okay—I do want to see if I still have a roof.”
As they pulled up in front of the bookshop, they noticed that the other shop owners had the same idea. Looking around, Linda was happy to see that the town didn’t appear to have sustained much damage; all the roofs were still intact—except of course, for the church and the town hall. Before entering her shop, she called out to Shana, “Afterward, bring everyone over for coffee and bagels.”
Once inside, Linda saw that her store had been untouched by the storm. She prepared breakfast. She set each table with an assortment of bagels, spreads, pastries, and a steaming pot of coffee. Todd stood by the window, looking out at the deserted streets of town.
Soon everyone arrived. Judy, Gregg, and Ryan came in with the others but sat at a corner table by themselves.
Linda walked over to welcome them. She asked Judy, “I’ve been curious for a while: Are you and Gregg really a couple?”
“No. It was just a part of our cover.”
“Judy and Ryan are the ones who are in love,” Todd said.
Ryan took Judy’s hand and pulled her down onto his lap.
“Let’s take it slow.” Judy said.
“I’m tired of taking it slow,” Ryan said and then he kissed her on the lips. Their audience clapped and a few whistled, except for Gregg, who sat by himself and just glared at them.
Mike stood alone in the corner. Everyone had found a partner, except of course, for him and Gregg. Gregg seemed to be having his own issues with Judy and Ryan. Mike watched Gregg eye the new couple with jealousy burning in his green eyes. A man after my own heart.
