SHTF (NOLA Zombie Book 0) Read Online Free PDF

unhinged me. Red Dress had fallen wrong, her head was at an unnatural angle on the floor, her eyes were sightless. But, that wasn't all. Eva, the roommate, was ripping at Red Dress, yanking at her flesh and leaning down and taking bites of her. Those perfectly capped teeth gnashed and tore at the flesh of her friend. Chunks of meat came loose from Red Dress and Eva swallowed them down like they were pieces of sushi.
    "Fuck," I whispered and those red-rimmed eyes shot up and found me. She pushed off from the floor, her fingers sinking into the torn flesh of her friend, making her slip and fall forward.
    I acted fast, pushing back into the bedroom and slamming the door. I clicked the lock and began looking for my clothes. I grabbed my pants when I found them and pulled them on. Then I reached for my boots, pulling them onto my feet. I yanked my phone out of my pocket and punched in nine-one-one. The line was busy.
    "Fucking New Orleans," I cursed. But it wasn't like it would do much good, they had just done an exposé on the news that had clocked the NOPD's response time at an average of two hours. With a current crisis going on, I would be lucky if they would be here in two hours. Eva was obviously infected with this iKPV virus, I didn't think she had two hours. I dialed Martinez's number.
    "I thought you would be longer," he said when he answered the line.
    "She's fucking dead, the roommate killed her, she's infected or something. If this is what the infection is, it's fucking whacked, man! The roommate attacked her and ate her! Ate her fucking flesh!"
    "Wait, slow the hell down. What do you mean, ate her?" Martinez said and I heard the hum of the bar behind him.
    "She's insane with the infection. When we came out to see what she was doing she immediately jumped on us, they fell to the ground and Red Dress was killed, broken neck, I think. The roommate started to eat her, now's she banging on the bedroom door trying to eat me."
    "You sure she's dead? Your girl, I mean?"
    "I didn't take her pulse, but she looked dead."
    "We should probably bring her to the emergency room, just in case. Can you restrain the roommate or something?" I looked around the room and noticed the curtains had thick, ornamental ropes to tie them back.
    "Yeah, I can tie her up. We'll probably have to bring both to the hospital." I cursed because we were planning on taking a taxi home and didn't have a car at our disposal.
    "Shit, alright, let me grab Lena. What's the unit number? I'll call Miller or something, see if they can get us a car, anything."
    "Building one, two-fifty-three, it's the first one off of the back stairs. He's got something tonight with a client...damn, we'll figure it out when you get here, just hurry up," I said and hung up the phone. I reached down to grab for my shirt and heard something slam against the door.
    I guess I had to deal with this.
    I moved behind the door with the rope in my hand. Red Dress had a chair in the corner of the room and I had pulled it out, closer to me. I opened the door, hiding behind it slightly.
    I opened the door and Eva came shambling in, creepy moans emanating from her mouth that was dripping with Red Dress's blood. I came up behind her and looped the rope around her neck. Maybe if I cut off her air supply she would pass out. But the harder I choked her, the more she struggled and I finally gave up and just pulled her to the chair.
    I forced her from behind into the chair, trying to stay as far away from her mouth as possible. I wrapped the rope around her chest and arms, tying her to the chair in a shoddy use of nautical knots. My scout leader would be ashamed.
    But she was restrained and couldn't move. Her teeth kept chomping though and I couldn't look at her anymore. I grabbed a hand towel from the bathroom and shoved it in there, avoiding any nips or bites.
    Breathing hard, I went out into the front room. Red Dress was still on the floor, but her finger twitched.
    "Shit, are you okay?" I bent down
