was not the case. She was finally beginning to realise that without understanding God’s plan, the only purpose for the human race was to live life.
    Jack jumped onto his horse and rode up to Madison and Wells. He was about to speak when his eyes squinted to focus on something in the distance. He pulled out a pair of binoculars from his saddle as Madison and Wells looked around, desperately trying to make it out, constantly aware of the risks to them in the apocalyptic world they called home. He grinned and handed the binoculars over to Madison.
    “Looks like we’re feasting tonight!”
    She peered through the binoculars and finally panned to what Jack had seen, her eyes lit up.
    “A razorback!” shouted Madison.
    All in earshot turned to look, already imagining the meal they might get that evening.
    “ Maddy , grab a few guys and some weapons and get that animal!” shouted Jack.
    “Fuck yeah!”
    Madison ran over to the wagon and pulled back the canvas cover. She pulled out a crossbow and a quiver of bolts kept for hunting purposes only, as no one would risk using bolts that had slain zombies, no matter how much they had been cleaned.
    “Justin, Riley, get your asses here!” shouted Madison.
    The two men rode up to the wagon as she drew two long spears from their supplies, she handed them to the men.
    “Take these, just remember that a razorback can run up the shafts, so let’s try and take it down with the crossbow first, you two need to watch my ass.”
    “Happy to watch it all day,” said Justin.
    She turned around with a scowl on her face and walked up to Justin who was still sitting on his horse. She reached up and grabbed his jacket, wrenching his head down towards her.
    “Listen you little bitch, we need that food, and if you fuck this up we could either go without or get seriously hurt. So get your head out of high school and into the game!” she shouted.
    She let her grasp go and with the crossbow in one hand leapt onto her horse. She rode on towards the razorback, stopping eighty yards short.
    “Quiet now.”
    The three hunters approached the razorback carefully until they were within fifty yards. Madison raised her hand to signal them to stop. She laid the crossbow stirrup on the ground and put her foot through to hold it in place, allowing her to cock the weapon. Raising the rifle crossbow carefully and smoothly, she drew a bolt from the quiver at her side and laid it to rest on the channel. She lowered to one knee and shouldered the weapon, looking down the red dot sight. She took a long calm breath, held it as she focused her aim until the breath was on the decline, and fired.
    The bolt soared into the razorback’s torso, its body recoiling slightly from the impact. Madison immediately cocked the crossbow again as the frenzied animal began to charge at them.
    “Do not hesitate!” she shouted.
    She slid the second hold onto the crossbow and quickly shouldered it, firing within a split second of it reaching the firing position. The bolt struck into the razorback’s shoulder as it was just fifteen yards from her, sending it into a tumble. As the wounded animal tried to recover Riley ran forward and quickly thrust his spear into the animal, until it finally went still. The three survivors sighed in relief.   
    “Jesus, I thought zombies were stressful,” said Justin.
    “We just bagged ourselves the evening meal, boys!”
    Riley pulled his blood-covered spear from the animal and looked back at Jack who was watching impatiently though his binoculars. Riley thrust the spear triumphantly into the air to confirm their success. A few seconds later a roar of cheering rang out as Jack passed on the happy news.

    It was dark now and the camp lit by several small fires, with the smell of meat cooking wafting around the hungry inhabitants. Riley and Billy had prepared the pig and it had been cooking on an improvised spit for hours. Madison and Jack sat atop the wagon whilst Dale, Greg and Joey
