Zombies- as if that wasn’t enough to ruin any
girl’s dream of a happily ever after.
After a night in the bunker with Kane Allen,
Reagan is panicky with fear and doubt. The Zombies haven’t let up their attack
on the bunker door and the darkness of the small space is oppressing. But none
of that compares to the overwhelming presence of Kane.
By the time Hendrix shows up to rescue her,
Reagan fears the damage is already done- Kane and her have bonded before she
could pull herself together and protect her heart. Now she wonders if maybe
he’s not such a bad guy. Or maybe he has been manipulating her by using her
fears and insecurities to get her to open up.
While the Parkers decide how to best solve the
Allen problem, Matthias has already arrived and demanded his prisoners go back
with him- the Parker brothers and Reagan that escaped his Colony and found
amnesty with Gage. Gage takes their side, refusing to let Matthias have his
way. But what does that mean for the storage complex?
Meanwhile, Reagan and Hendrix find some much
needed alone time and try to work beyond the damage that Kane has inflicted.
Love and Decay, Episode Eleven, is the eleventh
in a novella series in a Dystopian Romance about Zombies, the end of the world
and finding someone to share it with.
This story takes place over multiple episodes,
with a release date every two weeks. Approximately 20,000 words.
My take...
This waiting and idleness was pure torture-the
purgatory of the Zombie Apocalypse.
***
Kane and Reagan are trapped in a secret bunker
with nothing but a door separating them from the vile, fleshing eating zombies.
But it is what's on the other side of the door that scares Reagan more. Kane.
Is he really a crazed psychopath willing to stop at nothing to claim Reagan as
his own? Or deep down is he hiding his true self? Reagan is about to find out
how deep his inner monster lies. But of course none of that matters if they
don't make out of this alive. Will Hendrix and the others find them before it
is too late? Will Kane's father pose an even bigger threat? All of these
questions are being asked as we draw close in this next to the final episode of
Season One.
***
I thought it over for a little while and swallowed
back the greater fear of opening up to Kane. I could do it without getting
emotionally involved. This was about survival-about surviving the night and
surviving Kane.
***
Best. Episode. Yet. Yes, I mean it. I cannot
believe all the emotion that gets unleashed in just a few short pages. Reagan
fights a lot of inner turmoil within herself and the feelings she has for
Hendrix and Kane. She can no longer deny that there is something there between
them. But is it stronger than what she feels for Hendrix? This is something she
is going to have to work through and find out for herself.
You know what would have made this episode the
bomb-diggity? Getting Hendrix's POV as he is searching and fighting his way to
Reagan. Gah! That would have been most excellent. I cannot imagine what all he
went through as he was making his way to her.
As this season of LOVE AND DECAY comes to a close
I can't help but wonder what Higginson has in store for us with Season Two. Who
will be the main character? What obstacles will they face? Will I get another
dedication? (Ha! I kid, I kid) But seriously, let’s see how this one ends
before we get too ahead of ourselves worrying about Season Two.
This episode had it all: zombies, suspense,
sexual tension, and a mold encrusted Sasquatch cooter. What the heck is that
you may ask? Yeesh! You don't want to know. But check out this episode and you
may find out. Another fabulous job Higginson!
