[After the Fall 01] • Outside

**Demons here...**

It's three months since the Zombie Apocalypse, or the Fall, as survivors call it. Mac has boarded up his pub, and hides from the undead within its dark walls, along with his wife Angie, and Ellie, a young woman they rescued on the night of the Fall.

Ellie has just given birth to Eddy, and for a brief moment, happiness returns to the small family of survivors. Life offers them a glimmer of hope.

Two weeks after the birth and Mac is visiting the nearby village to get supplies for the baby. Whilst in the pharmacy, he gets spooked, sure someone is watching him. His fears are confirmed when he finds a mutilated zombie body, its guts emptied and used to write ominous warnings across the walls.

Immediately fearing for his family's safety he rushes back to the pub, but is he already too late? Can he save his fragile new life, or is his world once again about to be turned upside down in horror and chaos?

***The Demon Writers* is the second novelette in the *After the Fall* series, which tells the story of the aftermath of the zombie apocalypse, each story told through the eyes of a different set of characters.
