State of Ruin

Zombies here. Zombies there. Zombies everywhere. Jeremiah (Tex) Jackson is tired of all the death and tired of all the killing but, what choice does he have when the entire world has gone to Hell in a handbasket? It’s kill or be killed, a man-eat-man world now. And if that ain’t screwed up enough, it’s a living-take-advantage-of-the-living world as well. It’s been nearly a year since the world changed. Twelve months since a man on a trip to a remote, South African jungle with the Peace Corps unknowingly brought a microscopic, organ-feasting organism into the US. Some people would say this is the beginning of the end for humanity. They’d say that fighting a losing battle just wasn’t worth the trouble. They’d be wrong. Tex might be from a tiny, Podunk town in Texas, but he was smart enough to realize the odds of survival weren’t so great for the living. That didn’t mean he would go down without a fight. The world might end. Humanity could cease to exist. But if Tex was sure of anything, it was that any life worth living, was worth fighting for … and he planned to do just that.
