Ah, sorry for the double review. But I'd also like to add the Clive Barker reference, whether intentional or not, was rather amusing. It was another perk that kept me interested in the story. And made Clive all the more a likable character.

Taking a classic storyline and putting unique twists on it, not to mention writing it in the form of a screenplay drew me in like a moth to flame. There are only so many ways you can write a zombie story. Many are considered trite now. However, I liked the fast pace of this story and how, despite the cliches, it still kept me interested.

I'm surprised you haven't gotten over a hundred reviews yet. I think your story has been under appreciated.

One element that made reading this story all the better was reading it at night in silence. When the imagination can run wild and there's nothing to distract the mind from drawing out primitive fears, adrenaline rushes through and makes the experience that much more exciting.

All in all, I have to thank you for putting out such an awesome story. I don't think I would've had the patience to write it in the manner which you chose. And I don't think I could've pulled out the same sort of chest clenching suspense as you did. The heartfelt scenes were very touching, a lovely element in a time of crisis. And the notorious religious zealot scenes certainly drew out the right emotions from me.

Again, thanks for writing this. It has intrigued me enough to want to browse through your others stories and see what other goodies you have presented thus far.

Keep up the good work! If you don't mind, I'd like to pimp this story in my favorites.

this was very horrific, in a way most 'horror' stories manage to miss- i could really see it happening like it was a movie or something... from your style of narrating, it also felt like i was listening to story being told in person- "he ran the ** away" is a very conversational thing- but it made it all the more real...

i also opened this story expecting slashiness- but after reading the first 2 chapters, i didnt really understand, nor feel the need for any sort of clicheed romantic relationship to form between Ghost and Clive- i liked it just how it was...

Clives character was brilliant- his development and evolution that happened way too quickly [within less than 48 hours, i believe?]was amazing to watch, especially with the reactions to that change from everyone around him.

the end was fitting, but so unfair i actually wished u were the kind of person to write a romantic story between the two- so theyd develop a magical cure within 2 hours and JUST FIX Ghost so they both could be together... sadly, there was no way THAT wouldve happened- it probably wouldve spolit the entire story had you done it that way...

all in all, a great if not sad read...

wow, that was really good
really sad though
and i ** wanted to beat jills **
dumb **

i was skeptical about reading something that's written in the fashion of a screenplay but after reading several reviews i had to give it a try.

And let me tell you, I wasn't disappointed. I think something about the detachment from what's going on gives the story itself more of a creepy feeling.

We need to get this made, You need to copyright this and send it to some people! This is literally epic. It made me Cry so hard, I swear you need to send this so someone big, anyone.

I was a bit wary when I first glanced at the structure of this story, because so many online screenplays are extremely bad and immature, and this..this is great.

It feels like it could be a real horror movie, a good one in fact, and it slightly reminds me of Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later only way more nihilistic. Bravo! 28 Days Later is one of my favorite movies of any genre. Plus, you actually helped me drop nihilism into an actual conversation.

dear lord that was immense! it was so beautifully written (or horrifically as the genre would have it) and the character development was amazing to see. i liked how the character's pasts were not mentioned, apart from the odd glimpse of Clive's which i found insightful, and how their realness was eminent. I loved the very sad ending since i felt it fitted, and the close relationship with 'Ghost' and Clive was touching. i hope you writer more stories =]

Wow, just wow. I stayed up late reading this. I think it's going to give me nightmares, and now I'm scared of zombies in my house. But you know, so worth it. I read this in hopes of romance, but I'm glad there isn't any. It would ruin this story. But it's so sad. I feel sorry for Clive though. He's pretty much literally the last man on earth. And that's such a bad feeling. And I'm not sure what to make of the ending. I hate how it doesn't tell anything, but I realize that there isn't any other way you can end this without ruining the splendor of the story. So great job, I love it.

That's cold, Clive. Wow, he really changes by the end of this. I like him much better than the freaked out kid at the beginning. Fantastic work with this.

Wow. Just...Wow. That was amazing! I am in awe of your writing skills. I don't know how to describe how incredible this story is. You were able to show exactly what was happening, you developed the characters, and came up with an amazing storyline. This is truely inspiring work. I know you have one more story, so I'm going to go read that now. I have no doubt that it will be incredible as well, even if it's not packed with zombies.

...uhmm...on basis of this script alone...kinda in love w/you. Seriously. I don't even read scripts on the internet anymore cause the format gets annoying, but this one just hooked me. Great job! You had the explosive gore, violence and profanity that any good zombie movie needs, and then you went and threw in characters that I actually got attached to (of course, than you killed them off, but hey, that's another zombie staple). So yeah.
You rock and keep up the good work!!

**. THat was CRAZY! I can still... feel it. It's like... haunting me. Damn. You're amazing. That was unbelievable. I have NEVER read something like that before. It was... insane. Ohmy god. I'm soo much on edge right now. Its so odd. I even cried, i mean, that was so depressing but at the same time so damn amazing that i'm still in shock from the ending. God, i can't believe Ghost died. IT was written so well. Your plot was AMAZINGLY GOOD! So good. Man. You rock so much. That was just... unbelievably good. Thanks so much for the read.

OMG! I ** love this story! Clive is my hero! Sorry for all the exclamation points! lol. Seriously, this story was amazing, I was so enthralled that I forgot to go to class. >.< I have trouble finding good zombie stories, but this one definitely topped my list.

What. the. hell. I needed ten minutes to calm down after reading this, and I still feel like crap, without the faintest idea what the rest of this review is going to say. An aptly-named story first off.

"In stark contrast to Jill’s meticulous preciseness, Ghost just indiscriminately blasts the ** away with his 12 inch barrel.
(His shotgun, sickies)" - Like a puppet, I was waltzed right into that and keeled over in the inevitable wracking sobs. Pity that couldn't be inserted into the film itself.

"GHOST
Avril. Wait." - That set me off too. You have a very unpredictable, almost gruesome sense of humor. To write something like this to this effect takes one hell of an imagination.

And really, bravo. I was glued. And literally sitting at the edge of my seat the whole ride, unfortunately for my bladder. I skipped writing three papers in favor of this, but it was well worth it. I can't remember whatever else it was I meant to say. Against my saner judgments, I am favoriting.
