About this listen
The zombie plague has been contained, right?
Frank’s job is to patrol the fence that separates the living from the undead. It’s a boring job...at least it was until today. Has the true apocalypse finally arrived?

This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death. And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides - or are chosen.

In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellis' parents and load him into a black SUV. The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there's no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents - telekinesis and telepathy - who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and 10-year-old Avery Dixon.

Story
For dinosaurs, it was a big rock. For humans: Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). When the Earth is hit by the greatest CME in recorded history (several times larger than the Carrington Event of 1859), the combined societies of the planet's most developed nations struggle to adapt to a life thrust back into the Dark Ages. In the United States, the military scrambles to speed the nation's recovery on multiple fronts including putting down riots, establishing relief camps, delivering medical aid, and bringing communication and travel back on line. Just as a real foothold is established in retaking the skies (utilizing existing commercial aircraft supplemented by military resources and ground control systems), a mysterious virus takes hold of the population, spreading globally over the very flight routes that the survivors fought so hard to rebuild.

Story
In 1691 the town of Crossfall taught the witch Thessaly how to die. They beat her, they shot her, they hung her - but nothing worked. When they finally tried to bury her alive Thessaly set the field against them. The first man died as a gust of wind harrowed the meat from his bones. A root, flung like a dirty javelin, cut a second man down. Many more deaths followed. The Preacher Fell impaled the witch upon her very own broom, but she dragged him down into the field to wait for three more centuries.

I was 12-years-old when the world ended. For eight years I've survived in this sh*thole once known as Earth, fighting the alien parasite that mutated most of the population into bloodthirsty freaks while the rest of us became the lunch special on their alien menu. Now things are changing, and not for the better. The parasite is evolving, becoming smarter, stronger, and deadlier. They've already stolen everything from me - my home, my family, even the man I loved. It's time for this bullsh*t to end once and for all.

Millions of threads so thin as to be invisible, so vaporous as to be ductile, drift through the classroom, emitting a chill and leaving a sense of unease. Hidden deep in their cloaks, the Blue Lights analyze the odors that cling to the individual cells of every child, from the top of each little head to the bottom of their ticklish feet and every dark secret place in between, from their gathering brains to their blood-soaked spleens. One girl feels dizzy; one boy throws up.

Story
In 1972, the Red Bozos were the friendliest faces in frenetic Midlands Amusement Park. Flash forward four and a half decades: Midlands is a ghost park. Closed long ago and nearly forgotten, even by the locals, it sits shrouded in undergrowth and hill-topping forest surrounded by upscale new homes. Ringed with a decaying fence, hidden from sight, it presents a huge temptation to a group of bored, thrill-seeking youths who are about to learn that terror is, in fact, immortal.

I loved this story! A very different and unique take on zombies. The story was well written, pulled at my heartstrings, and the narration was fantastic. I most definitely will be listening to more stories by this author. I was given a free copy for my unbiased review.

The Quarantine Fence
Such an unusual zombie story. Perfect in length and odd enough to elicit more reflection on the premise than I would have deemed possible. It was sadder than I would have thought also. Just a nice, unique, short zombie tale unlike any other I read before. Good stuff.

Roma Gray conquers Zombies!
I've come to believe that Roma Gray can write, and write brilliantly, in any area she chooses. If the story says "by Roma Gray" I'll be in line to buy it. This one has excellent characters that pulled me into the story and set me up perfectly for the ending. And I like it like that. Thanks for the experience, Roma. This one may make you think about some things, too. It just may.

A wonderfully different zombie tale
First off, I love the narrator. He does an amazing job with this short story. And the story....what an amazing tale. So different from other zombie stories I’ve read. Or listened to. I thought I knew what was up but no, I was way off. Imagine having to wear a hazmat suit, hot, miserable, walking your section of fencing, looking for zombie like people. Your fellow member tells you to watch closely. There is a child, with flowers for his Mom. And there the story takes an odd and sad turn. I can’t say more as I’ll give the story away. Just grab this and give a listen. You’re welcome.

A different kind of zombie tale
One of the things I love about Roma Gray is that she always has a new take on an old trope. Zombies, no pun intended, have been done to death. Here, though, she takes everything you know about zombies and doesn't just throw it out the window, she launches it from a bazooka through the ceiling. Yep, you can still dies from the Zed menace, but not in the way that you think. These guys are harmless, they just stand around and graze all day, but if you get sick yourself, die, and become one of them too.
That is where this story comes into play. It is very human, deply visceral, and shows how humanity is its own worst enemy. Our kindness, and attachments, can be a detriment in some cases and here we learn a lot about love, and how it is truly blind. She really drive this point home, and reminds me of a story that she did called Homecoming. Both pieces reveal a lot about humanity and our short comings. This one deals with love, and the other dealt with how we ignore problems unless it affects us in some way. Both are very poignant.
I enjoyed Brett Schumacher's narration, and felt that he added to the gravitas of the situation by the way he handled the characters and infused emotion into the story. His words carried a lot of weight, and he did a great job. Even though I did receive a promo code for this review it in no way influenced my considerations of the material, and in fact, inspired me to be more honest. Getting a code generally makes me harsher as a reviewer as I am more often concerned what someone like Me will decide based on my review.

Different take on the Zombie apocalypse!
Definitely a different take on the Zombie apocalypse!!! It's well written, unique and quirky and I enjoyed it. My heart broke for the boy!! It's only about 24 pages so it's extremely short but it's entertaining and that's what matters.
Brett Schumacher read this well. He was clear and easy to listen to and I enjoyed his performance too.
I was given this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.

Told from the other perspective
In this time where zombie stories seem the rage, and everyone has an opinion about how the outbreak occurs, Roma Gray shows us that the zombie's aren't just, pardon the expression, dead heads; they once belonged to someone... a mother or grandmother, wife. I liked that these weren't flesh-eating zombies. It had a unique, refreshing change.
