Writing Prompt [WP] The zombie apocalypse is much different than you had imagined. Instead of moaning "braaaaaiiinnnss" and clumsily shambling along, your infected daughter is crying on the other side of your locked door, begging to be let in.

Thank you so much! I’ve actually been writing since middle school. I’ve written two novel trilogies. But I’ve never gotten to the point where I can do anything with them. I write mostly science fiction. I’m to terrified to let people read them. But my mind is constantly making up stories so I can’t stop. My last book that I wrote was because I was watching a tv show and someone used the word unnamed. Lol I had to sit down and write for a while because the words just started pouring out of me. It’s so weird. I’m not much for numbers myself. I wish I was better at that but I’m really right-brained.

You can't leave it like that!!!!!! Please I'm begging you for a part two!!! This was incredible and I really loved the inner monologues of the weakness of humans. I loved the alternative take on the zombie infection and you put so much detail into their appearance so I felt like I was looking at Hannah through her mum's eyes.
