I loved your descriptions and I loved the 3 main characters, right up until dude looked out the window, saw the zombies, shitted in his pants, but decided not to tell the others. What kind of shit is that? At least give the others time to pray if you feel you'll all be annihilated. Also, I hated the fact that he and his friend tied up the girl that he loved and pined for all this time and sold her out to the Devil. He should have known it was the Devil! They should have prayed or whatever they had to do, not sold their friend out! Anyway, your descriptions were vivid and wonderful and it was a great ride, I was just hoping it was going in another direction. Your work was great. I just despise tragic endings.

I love the religious/Armageddon spin on it. I do agree with the aspect of having to make hard choices and not knowing just how long personal convictions will hold out against a tired mind trying to justify a given situation. We'd all like to think we could hold out but truth be told we'll never know until we're put into such circumstances. Very captivating. I love the religious/Armageddon spin on it.

In the end, the girl would belong to him as if he had refused they would have torn the place apart so it ends the same. If he had given in and signed he would have belonged to the damned. He doesn't give in, he's dead, just a little faster. Truly well written though not for someone that is in the throws of a depression. You have incredible talent. Get published!

Best story I've read on this site. I like to think that I would be strong enough to refuse the angel, but after weeks of weak I cannot say for certain. This is what I like best about zombie apocalypse stories, I think. The human interaction and the difficult choices that characters must make in their horrific circumstances. Wow.

Nicely done sir. Parts of it (the phone call in particular) reminded me of Phantoms (great book), minus the Affleck. Way to add a ghostly touch to the zombie hordes. Wow. Nicely done sir.

A great take on the traditional story. I was impressed with some of your descriptions, they sat well with the pace. My only thought was that a nice 'Red Shirt' death could have been used to explain why they had sat in the restaurant for so many weeks, and I would change it into chapters to have a single epilogue. Keep the story the same just rename the chapters as it were. Thats Just my opinion tho. Loved it. A great take on the traditional story.
