[Love and Decay 1 1.50] • Love and Decay, Boy Meets Girl

The Zombie Apocalypse couldn’t be more boring.

For the last two years Hendrix Parker’s life rotated in a constant routine of fighting Zombies, finding a place to spend the night and keeping his family safe. While all those things were admirable pursuits, they had begun to blur together in monotonous gray lines and a haze inducing fog.

He had let the world he lived in turn him into as much of a Zombie as the creatures he fought day in and day out.

Until his perfectly tedious world is thrown into upheaval with the arrival of two girls shopping for eyeliner.

Reagan Willow and Haley Gable tumble into the Parker’s lives with helpless charm and sarcastic cynicism and the boys can’t help but feel the strong need to protect them.

Especially Hendrix, who can’t ignore the irresistible pull Reagan has on him. She’s everything he never thought he would find, and the shot of life that digs him out of the corpse-like stupor he’s fallen into.

She might not feel the same way, but that won’t deter Hendrix from pursuing her. Maybe there’s nothing more than friendship between them, but their futures are now entwined, one way or the other. Hendrix has enlisted his brothers and young sister into joining Reagan’s journey south because he refuses to let the most beautiful thing at the end of the world out of his life.

Just as long as they can escape the Zombie horde alive first.

Love and Decay, Boy Meets Girl, is the first episode in the Love and Decay, Novella Series told from Hendrix’s point of View; and a Dystopian Romance about Zombies, the end of the world and finding someone to share it with.

This story takes place over multiple episodes, with a release date every two weeks. Approximately 20,000 words.
