THE WATCH is a excellent short, with brooding imagery, an ominous feel, and a reminder that once done, a deed cannot be undone.

Lucifer's Redemption

 

​Everyone deserves a shot at redemption, even Lucifer.

 

After centuries of trying to forget his past, forget his sins, Lucifer has to confront the ultimate truth. It will either redeem or destroy him.

 

Walking Amongst the Dead

 

Martin and Josh come through the otherside of the Zombie Apocalypse dead, but still aware. This story follows them, as their bodies decay and they have to deal with those still alive.

 

A father and son journey seeking peace in their final days.

 

A totally different perspective on the undead. The story was very moving and still thoroughly entertaining. Loved it!

Jennifer Trinidad - Amazon Review.

 

An excellent take on the zombie apocalypse...something different... Sad, and dark, yet poignant and touching. ...I love reading zombie apocalypses, and I do love reading something other than the standard formulas. For me, this is something new. And I loved it.
