I love a good zombie story. And you're right - most of them start out after the destruction has already happened and people are desensitized to it.

Well done.

I really enjoyed this and was completely caught up in the details.

You have already shown the progression of it awesomely, from single occasions, to mass, to it getting real to it getting really real.

I felt like David was in for some trouble when he was running and trying to figure out what was going on on the freeway. If you don't already have your zombie plan enacted at that point, you're in for a rough go :3

Although a major theme I plan to develop is "if you think you have a good idea, it's a bad idea ... because everyone has that idea" like I don't know how many people have told me they're going to stop by their local gun shop, as if, EVERYONE isn't going to do that. (but pro tip, I went in to the lawnmower shop and they had so many machetes and even saw blades on poles of various types, its DEFINITELY the place to go)
