    Note From Author
    Have you ever wondered what it would be like if the ever so talked about, really happened.  Some say if there was a  world catastrophe, of any kind, Texas would be the survival state.  This is where we find Casey.  Casey was thirteen when the virus swept over the world or was it a virus.  There were some strange things about these zombies that just didn’t make sense. They weren’t your average textbook zombies that we have all come to love.  No, these walking monsters only came out at night, but there is something inconceivable about these creatures. They had a heartbeat!  The heart was no longer powered by blood, but a thick black substance. This was the only information that had been gained thus far.  The farther we get into this story, the more that Carla and her friends will learn about the walking undead. In this first Volume, we meet some residents from the Bark Ranch. We also meet some other dangers of this new world, such as ruthless thugs. These thugs torture, rape and kill, to get what they want. Carla and her army have to save Calvin and little Trent from these cold hearted ex-prisoners.  The army found out, the hard way, that the thugs were not their only daytime enemies.

    Chapter 1
     
    The trees started to close in as the sun sank into the earth’s surface.  The darker it became, the faster Carla raced to get home. Her heart was rapidly beating against the walls of her chest.  She did not have much time left, before her village would shut the gates.  If the gates shut, they were not to be opened again until sunrise.  She would never survive an entire night outside the walls.
     
    Carla had almost lost hope of reaching the ranch, when she looked up and saw the lights burning around the outside walls of her village.  Only fifty yards from safety, she heard a deep grinding noise.  The gates were closing!  Taking a deep breath and never missing a step, she started yelling out to her friend Brian.
     
    “Stop……...Stop……….I’m almost there!”
     
    Brian could hear his friends voice, he looked up to see Carla running for her life.  It was against every rule to delay the closing of the gates, but this was his best friend.  He had to give her an extra minute to get through the gate.  Brian pulled on the lever as hard as he could.  The gates screeched as they came to a stop. 
               Even though Brian was waiting on her to cross the finish line, she never slowed down.  With every extra second that the gates were held open, she was putting her entire village in danger.  The night men were fast and could outrun a normal human being, without even giving all of their effort. 
     
    The night men were those humans that had changed into some kind of monster, after the big virus swept over the world. The human body was dead, but the virus would take over and pump a different form of blood in their veins. This was just enough to run the some functions of the body.   They were zombies, but not your traditional textbook zombies.  The old body and brain were dead, but the heart would still beat.  Instead of blood it was a thick black substance that coursed through the body.  They were nocturnal creatures and couldn’t even see in the daytime.  This meant that daytime would be the only time that it was safe to be outside of the gates. 
     
    Carla was thirteen years old when the virus swept over the world.  As the virus slowly took over the cities and towns, many of the uninfected started moving into the rural areas.
