The Survivalistas

Chapter 2 - Part 2 “This is really depressing. Every channel has news reports.” Susan said, finally giving up and setting down the remote. “And we're eating home fried potato chips.” “If you wanted snacks, you should've brought your own.” “I know, I know. Stupid health conscious—” “Shh.” Indiana grabbed up the remote and turned up the volume. “There have been new developments in the recent biological attack. People who were previously considered dead have come back to life in an animated, catatonic state. If approached these people become extremely violent, attacking unprovoked. At this time doctors theorize that the virus slows heart and respiratory function, mimicking death. In this state, the brain shuts down, causing damage to parts of the brain. At this time, researchers are still looking into what this virus is and why it causes this to happen. We will continue to bring you up to the minute coverage as we know more.” “This keeps getting freakier and freakier.” “Yeah.”...

Chapter 2- Part 1 Indiana relaxed her grip on the steering wheel as her tires hit actual asphalt. Twenty minutes of rutted gravel roads left her wondering if her shocks were going to hold out. Houses began to appear sparsely, then more frequently. Only a few more minutes before she could climb into a hot shower. Spending a weekend at her dad's survival school didn't bother her any more than a couple weeks roughing it. But she still enjoyed the modern comforts, and would trade her sleeping bag for a comfy bed any day. Turning at the light, she headed into town. The roads were empty. Granted, it was the beginning of March and the snow was knee deep, but usually weekends brought tourists. Even with the huge snow banks, there were usually hikers, skiers, all sorts of outdoorist flocking to the Adirondacks. Pulling into the drive way, she was happy her mother had decided to stay at the survival school another day. Now she had the entire house to herself all night. Her dad was go...

Chapter 1- Part 2 Indiana dropped her backpack next to the door as she entered the house. If the stupid thing got any heavier she was going to have permanent back damage. It seemed like the further into the year the more work the teachers gave her. With a sigh she kicked off her shoes, then headed toward the kitchen. As she walked passed her dad's office, he popped his head out. “We still going to the gun club after dinner?” “Yeah.” “No!” Her mother wailed from the kitchen. “I wanted to take you shopping.” Indie looked toward her dad, who shrugged as if to say, it's your call . If it really was up to her, she'd grab a pint of Ben and Jerry's Heath Bar Crunch ice cream and the Molly Harper book she was reading, and crawl into bed. “Mom, Dad and I planned last week to go the range.” Indie said, stepping into the kitchen. “We can go shopping next weekend.” The pout on her mother's perfect lips left Indie wondering for a moment who was the parent and who was the ch...

Chapter 1- Part 1 “I'm so jealous, you got a new car for your birthday.” Susan said, slamming her locker. Indie glared at her best-friend. “Do you have any idea how much crap I've put up with.” She fell into step beside Susan. “I deserve it.” “Oh yeah, you deserve it.” Susan muttered, rolling her eyes. “Fine, how about the Miss ADK pageant?” Susan winced. “You're the only one I know who could pull off camouflage formal wear.” Indie wrinkled her nose at the memory of her foray into her mother’s world. Tera Macari had won several beauty pageants before marrying Indiana's father. They entered the study hall as the bell rang. Sitting down, Susan leaned over and whispered, “have you decided what to do about Todd?” Indie shook her head. “It's not working. When I get back on Sunday I'm ending it. Unless I get a chance to talk to him before then.” “He's not going to take it well.” “Do they ever?” Susan smirked. “So you're going out to the school this weekend?”...

Prologue “Happy birthday, baby.” “Thanks, Mom,” Indiana murmured, flipping through the gift cards and spa certificate. “I noticed your outfits were a little last season, sweetie.” Indiana forced a smile, knowing her mom well enough to hear a shopping spree in those words. Her father harrumphed and pushed several boxes toward her. “Open mine now, Pumpkin.” Indie picked up a small one on top and ripped at the camouflage paper. As a pink skeletonized handle appeared, she groaned silently. Great , another knife. “Cool, an Izula.” “I saw you eyeballing mine.” Setting it aside, she forced another smile and pulled the bigger box close. As she stripped off the paper, the word Remington appeared. Flipping open the box, she found a twenty gauge shotgun with a pink mossy oak stock. “I thought it would look good in the gun rack of your new Jeep,” her dad said, grinning like the Cheshire Cat as he danged a set of keys in front of her. “A Jeep!” Indie squealed, clapping her hands together. “Wai...
