Free Hell Bound (Book 1): A Vacation From Hell by Kathy Dinisi Page B

have the map spread out in the front seat between Mathew and I. Kat is sitting in the back in the middle so she can see the map too.
       “We are right here,” Kat says pointing to a street on the map called Joshua.       
                  “I saw the street sign at the gas station near the gas pumps. We can take Joshua Street to Angus road, and then if I understand this right we make a left on Dirt Street and the gas station should be on the left side of the road.”
                  Kat says but sounds unsure about her decision.
        “Why do I hear a butt coming along,” I question, eyeing her.
      “The down fall is I’m not hundred percent sure. And it’s way out of the way. But the good thing is there is no one out there and we shouldn’t run into any trouble, it was a hole in the wall place, gas is expensive but only one clerk.”
          I look at Mathew for his opinion, but he seems to be lost in thought. I scan outside to make sure there are no zombies or anybody else around.
                  “I say we go for it,” Mathew finally speaks up. “If the roads are full of National Guard then all major highways and roads are blocked off from us. And Kat knows these back roads better than we do, so let’s take her word for it.”
                  I nod in agreement at Mathew and Kat. And start scanning through all FM stations, hoping to find any one talking about what’s going on. I find nothing but static on the FM station.
                  As soon as I turn to the Am station a man’s voice comes on the radio. Mathew stops drinking water and looks at the radio as if it’s live television. Kat is speech less in the back seat staring at the radio.
                  Hello everyone who’s still breathing and not trying to bite a chunk out of there neighbors. I’m currently in my basement in Arizona, staying out of site. For what I’ve heard this all started with a man who went into the ER two days ago with rabies.
                  The doctors tried to isolate him but it was too late. He had bit his wife before going into the ER. His wife was the one who called 911 but never told them she was bitten. She eventually turned into a zombie and went after her neighbors.
                  I unfortunately saw firsthand how fast this thing, we call rabies spreads. My wife was bitten before we’re able to make it safely into our house. We were 30 minutes from our home, when she turned into a ………zombie ….I guess you can call them that. I had to put her down myself. It will forever haunt my dreams. God I loved her so much.
                   He pauses and all we can hear is the voice on the radio crying, poor guy it can’t be easy to lose the love of your life .
                   For what I’ve seen, the military is trigger happy; they are shooting down anything that looks like it’s a zombie. If you’re bit they will kill you on site.   So be aware, if I were you I would stay away from the military. This disease is worse than any horror movie you have seen.
                  It spreads a lot faster and the military aren’t testing people for infection before killing them. All groceries stores are being taking over by scared people trying to stock up on food and water. The gas stations have lines of cars that seem to go on for miles.
                  Currently the power here is still on, but the phone lines are busy and my cell phone doesn’t get signal any more. I’m not sure for how long I will have running water. I do have a backup generator so you will hear my voice for a while. As I receive news about this hell we are going through, I will relay it back to you. I have to get off now but stay safe.
                   He switches off and we start to hear the crackle of the static.
      “Oh that poor guy, this can’t be easy for him, to see his wife
