An interesting twist on the usual end-of-the-world tale. Quite creepy, too -- the origin of the "zombies" was unique. And I like how the mother was right in spite of heself! Thanks for an enjoyable story, looking forward to reading the rest of the issue.

Great story! The best bit was the fifth section ("Saturday was so horrible..."). Lots of effective imagery. My only criticism is that the story is told from the little girl's POV, but the voice is not very childlike, especially for someone so sheltered.
I could see this expanded into a much longer story or novella. There is definitely unexplored depth here!
