Overview

Private Investigations:
I lowered the glasses, slipped a cigarette from my pack and lit it, and then settled back to smoke as I watched. I know, they'll kill me, but isn't life killing us all every day? I know, I know, excuses. I got a ton of them.
I took a deep drag and blew the smoke out my nose. I glanced at my watch. Another hour and that would be it.
It was about then that things got interesting.

A Dress For Janey:
I rode slowly watching the trail side. There wasn't much to see in the moonlight, but enough to follow if you knew where to look, and I did.
The thing was, this fella was not no kind of careful anyways. And he was not no horse man neither.
I rubbed my geldings rump, patted a time, and silently promised him a little extra rest time once we caught up to this fool sometime later in the night...

My Own Apocalypse:
Mandy nodded. She fixed him with her serious eyes once more. “So what will you do?”
“Probably like I said, like everyone else is doing. I don't see them but I can feel it... It's like a drain on the city... The living moving out, the dead moving in. So I guess that's me too... I'll leave. Get out of this city... That's first. It's bad here.”

I purchased Star Dancer right after college, and I've never looked back. I can remember my great-grandfather, gone now for more than forty years, talking about what he had, had for opportunities right out of high school. That would be laughable now. My parents had, had my life mapped out from the age of two. Life Mapping was a serious thing, I don't know any that don't have their lives mapped out now from birth.
School was not complete without college. You could not be licensed to work the counters of Planet Burger unless you had two years of college. My own career had taken four years of specialty college and geared trade school from the first grade on. When other first graders were learning about monetary systems and world level banking, I was learning about Star Drives and ION Propulsion units...22 short stories from Dell Sweet, including the original short story that became the seed for the Zombie Plagues. Hope you enjoy these short stories, Dell Sweet.
