Free The Zombie Letters by Billie Shoemate

moved into this facility last night before you arrived. I would insist on having a man like you. Regardless of his rank, you were always one that always realized the big picture, even when it required methods of operation that others may see as . . . unethical .”
                  “Thank you, si . . . uhhh . . . General,” Powers stammered. “Thank you for this opportunity. I appreciate it.”
                  “Dismissed, Powers. Anything else you wanna say before you’re briefed by the staff here?”
                  “Anything, General?” Powers asked.
                  “Yeah. This is an informal meeting, son.”
                  “This place is amazing. If only my father could have seen this. He always had so many stories . . . most of which passed down by people who knew someone who knew someone who was into some shit. You know how it goes. He was always so fascinated by things that weren’t on the books. In a childish sort of way, I suppose I am too. Impressive . . . never seen one of these underground bunkers before. These places are so classified, you have to practically be the one holding the big, black marker to know about them.”
     
                  Teel leaned toward the Staff Sergeant and offered him a cigarette. “What bunker?”
                  Powers smiled and took the smoke. “Understood, General. Understood.”
                  “Hey Powers,” Teel said as the Staff Sergeant was halfway out the door. Powers turned around and raised his eyebrows to him.
                  “Yes?”
                  “You passed my little test. Just between us now. Quatar Pass. What did you really see out there? The stories I’ve heard . . . unbelievable. Is it true?”
                  Alexander slowly closed the door in front of him. Giving the General another smile, along with the most subtle of winks, he spoke through the small crack in the doorway. “Is what true?”

                  This will be the first of my reports on Brian O’Reilly and my wife, Samantha Winters. After seven weeks, the human trial subjects are exhibiting completely normal metabolic function, vital scans and brain activity. A curious side effect - Samantha’s hair is growing at an estimated three times its normal speed. After multi-stage hair samples, it appears to be tapering off. I theorize that her rapid hair growth will return to normal when she reaches the length prior to her sickness. Blood pressure of the two subjects, including diastolic pressure appears normal, if not extremely healthy.
     
                  I am putting in a formal request to volunteer myself for LYNN002. After synthesizing a stronger version, we have achieved maximum resiliency in mitochondrial biogenetic re-growth. If the new formula proves as effective as LYNN001, I am confident we can go to completion within 90 days.
     
                  On a personal note, sir, I have something else to include. Hopefully all previous hard feelings aside, I wish to extend my deepest gratitude for this opportunity. Michael and Emily are enjoying their new schools and the apartment you hooked us up with was very generous of you. That place is exquisite. Just don’t wiretap the bathroom (haha).
