Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
why doesnt this site have a reply to the author thingie?? lol. i totally get what you are saying bout kayleigh and howie but that doesn't fit in with all of the characters. so far only howie and kayleigh are the weak leaks, shouldnt aj be feening for a drink and shouldnt gaby be freaking out? yeah she's brave/puts on a brave face but she's still just 13 and if zombies broke out when i was 13 id probably poop myself hahaha! not to mention the earlier trauma she experienced should also play a factor. also why hasnt anyone told riley to chill yet? in crisis the last thing people would tolerate is someone overly aggressive, like they dont wanna tolerate kayleigh being all whiny or howie being bossy. to be honest i'm surprised nick didnt tell her the moment she started ragging on him. i think you guys have a great story and i enjoy reading it but i think with so many characters often times traits and flaws are forgotten of minor characters in favor for the like more main ones. if everyone has a flaw show more of theirs instead of just kayleigh and howies. ill shut up now cuz im sure you guys want me to! haha.
Author's Response: This is just my opinion, but I feel we do show flaws with all the characters. Maybe you didn't catch it, but AJ was feening in a previous chapter. Same with Gaby (hence the mention of her nightmares. The POV does change with each chapter so not only does it take longer to show these things, we can't show them in each and every one. Like Julie addressed in your review mentioning Riley, maybe it came off wrong, but she wasn't ragging Nick, she was teasing him in a friendly way. (except when Nick couldn't get the car top down, and thats cause a zombie was on top trying to get in LOL, that'd cause anyone to be snappy) Riley's flaw is being too much of a bitch sometimes, as shown with Kayleigh. We try to show them all, but with some patience, you'll see that some may be in chapters yet to come. As always, we appreciate the feedback, and have no problem discussing the story LOL.
The year was 2012 and the world was at war yet again, but for most of us, the fight seemed far from home. We were just ordinary people living our lives in the southeastern United States, and we had other priorities: families... careers... dreams.
But everything changed that day, the day on which Earth became Hell, the catalyst for a rapid chain of events which would bring us together, while destroying the human race. After that, it was just us: ten strangers against the world, a world utterly different from the one we had known... and it was up to us to save it.
