But the moon brings something the sun vanquishes, darkness, and the fiercest of predators use its shade to their advantage. But the strongest predator needs no advantage of darkness, no teeth of fangs, for the strongest predator is man. Deep in the forest is a boy on the edge of man hood. He climbs, he hunts, he builds because that is the only life he knows. His body is decorated in different pelts to keep him warm in the cold months and during the windiest of nights. The beginnings of a beard growing on his face due to his increasing maturity. But this child is oblivious to many things, including his own name, Richard. But unlike most people his

Then suddenly, around eight, ten year olds came from out of the bush, claiming that they would knife them'. They followed behind there group of friends, and proceeded to throw stones at them.

Sheriff Bill was pushing almost 50 years old as he walked around and made sure everyone was doing their jobs for the night. Patrolling both the wall and the town itself. This was one of the first towns the zombie usually hit from the old crash site 20 years ago, lately however, there had been more attacks. The numbers were the same, a small group of ten or twenty zombies but the number and times they attacked had been increasing dramatically. Hence they put tangle wire and bells and other things to warn them and defend the town.

It's that time of the year again. The birds are chirping, the sun is casting its warm soothing rays on the land, flowers are blooming, and people are flocking to convention centers dressed as their favorite characters celebrating the latest and greatest in the world of all things that is "geek." I just love convention season, the one time of year I can be around others like me and totally have a fangasm and nobody bats an eye.
