...Dad?

by Josh Quattrone

It is not only the police officer, nor the doctor who has to survive the zombie apocalypse. The guy from the army’s Special Forces or the Eagle Scout is not always a part of the survival party. There are billions of everyday people on this planet who struggles to survive. Each has their own story.

In this short story, Tess patiently cares for her three children while her husband works long hours. When the world begins to consume itself, one familiar undead makes her experience her worst fear.

Tragedies of the Undead, a series of independent, interweaving stories that explore the human perspective; the lies, the deceit, and sometimes the compassion of those trapped in a dying world.

Genres: Zombies

18 pages, Kindle Edition

About the author

Hi! My name is Josh Quattrone. I am a trying author who works everyday to write amazing stories. I've been writing for well over a decade, but finally decided to start publishing last February. It's been an interesting ride and I've learned much, but there is still many roads to be taken, and the journey is the purpose of my expedition.

I was born and raised in Kansas, went to college and failed out (don't worry I went back and finished). Then I joined the military! I wanted to stay close to home because my family is important to me, so I selected all Air Force bases around Kansas, and got stationed in England, you know the island on the other side of the Atlantic? I spent three years there where I met and worked with some of the best people I ever had the privilege of meeting. Married the most wonderful and beautiful woman I've ever known. Then we were sent to Louisiana and found another group of amazing people. I was then honorably discharged from active duty after almost five years and moved to Ohio. Had two amazing kids that do everything in their power to drive me insane, and are successful for the most part. Now I work in IT and write in my free time.

I came up with the idea for my first published short story, "Dad" and then working with friends and family, I finally mustered up the courage and released it in February 2012. Shortly after it was followed up with "Brothers" and "Underneath" in May 2012. I hope to conclude "Tragedies of the Undead" a series that all previously mentioned books are a apart, within the next year and hopefully to eager fans. I released "Robotic Innocence" in December of 2012, my first foray into Science Fiction.

I have big plans for this year so keep an eye out!

Thanks for your time, and I hope you enjoy my stories.
