Excerpt:
When the outbreak began, news reports said it was just a variation of seasonal flu. Two days later hospitals were over capacity, the rail network had all but collapsed, and military troops had been deployed to quell riots in major cities. The flu outbreak became an epidemic so fast that it overwhelmed the country. The epidemic turned into an apocalypse; at least according to the last radio transmissions we’d heard five days back. The radio announcer was somewhere in London, he never said where, and when he wasn’t quoting from the Bible, or quietly sobbing to himself, he was repeating the same information over and over.The dead walked.

Nope, I saw the word "zombie" so this is not for me even if it is just 9 pages. Good luck though Jay!
