Free A Zombie Survival Series (Book 1): Infestation Iowa by Nathan A. Smith Page A

turned his head around, flashing a massive smile as he stared out the back window and drove out of the park through the destroyed bushes his car had made coming into the park. When the car hit the road, he swerved sharply and came to a stop. He threw the car into drive and did just that. He sped faster than he ever had in his life and within seconds, they arrived at Vivian’s house. The clearly insane sheriff opened his car door and limped toward the house. Destiny got out and looked around for the horde. They moaned loudly from inside the park and were nowhere to be seen. Eric still held a zombie arm with one hand and the door with the other, his eyes closed tight. Destiny swung open the door; Eric opened his eyes, suddenly realizing what was happening and he dropped the zombie arm with a thud.  He then got out of the car and pulled David closer to the door. The two of them carried David and followed Holiday. Holiday reached the front door and knocked some sort of jingle on the door. The door opened and they headed inside.
                  Vivian was one of the nicest people anyone had ever met. She was normally emotionless with her words but everyone knew she cared deeply about them. She was short for her age, had long brown hair and had rings on almost every finger on both hands. She motioned for them to bring David to the next room and closed the door behind them.
     
    A few hours later
 
                  David’s eyes slowly opened as the sunlight hit his face from a window beside the bed. He could hear laughter and for a moment thought he was a child again. He sat up quickly as he thought about the last thing he remembered. The intense pain and everything going dark was all he could recall. He pulled off a huge comforter from on top of him and then flung it back onto himself. He was naked, and his clothes were nowhere to be seen. Again he heard laughter from outside the door of the room he was in. It was a nice room; it had brightly colored flowers by the window, clean white flower wallpaper, a large mirror and dresser.
                  “Hello!” David yelled.
                  “David’s up!” Eric yelled as laughter erupted once more. The door opened as Destiny walked into the room.
                  “Morning!” she said cheerfully. “Sleep well?” she placed David’s clothes on the mirrored dresser as David nodded slowly.
                  “How…?”David started to ask but was cut off.
                  “Just get dressed and come in the next room. We are all waiting for you.” Destiny closed the bedroom door smiling wide and walked away. David, still confused, got out of the comforter and threw on his clothes quickly. They were cleaner than he had ever had them. He opened the door and walked into the next room. Eric sat in an enormous cushioned arm chair and he sat forward saluting David. Destiny stood with her arms crossed, leaning up against a table. Vivian and Holiday stood next to her, facing away from David and toward the table.              “Holiday!” David said with excitement. Holiday turned around and smirked at him. “How did you -?” again David was cut off
                  “You didn’t think a little old thing like a fire would stop me did ya?” He laughed.
                  “No but it wasn’t exactly just a fire sheriff.” David said walking up to Holiday and hugging him.
                  “Bah! Wasn’t anything I couldn’t handle.” Holiday said as David stepped back.
                  “What about the rescue?!” David raised his voice and turned toward Eric. Vivian walked up behind him and placed her hand on his shoulder.
                  “It would take them at least another day to reach your place.” She said. David smiled and gave Vivian an enormous hug lifting her off the ground and twirling her around. “Last I heard
