There are two distinct ways to handle a Monday morning in the middle of a biological collapse. Option A: Panic, hide under a floral comforter, and cry into a stale sleeve of crackers. Option B: Consume several glow-in-the-dark zombie energy cores, level up your system interface like a hyperactive video game addict, and eat a three-pound raw ribeye steak for breakfast.

Naturally, I chose Option B.

It was 6:00 AM on Day Two of the apocalypse. Outside, the sky was a cheerful shade of bruised plum.

  • Reborn As The Zombie Queen   CHAPTER 17 — GRAVITY

    There is a distinct difference between reading about a high-tier awakened ability in a glossy fantasy novel and seeing a six-foot-two stoic military commander physically fold gravity like a cheap linen napkin.It was 11:30 AM. After my dramatic farewell at the bank fire escape, I hadn't actually left the neighborhood. Why would I? My Zombie Sense radar had pinged a cluster of three pristine, unlooted hardware supply vans parked near a subterranean parking garage on 8th Avenue, and I am not a girl who leaves pristine hardware unattended.Unfortunately for my peaceful shopping schedule, Kael Raven and his three deeply traumatized companions—Mia the medic, Noah the tech guy, and Damon the limping security specialist—were traveling down the exact same avenue toward the 5th Avenue subway tunnels.I was currently crouched on a second-floor fire escape balcony overlooking 8th Avenue, eating a bag of freeze-dried strawberries out of my pink tote bag, watching Kael’s squad navigate the street

  • Reborn As The Zombie Queen   CHAPTER 16 — THE MAN WHO SAW TOO MUCH

    If there is one thing harder than hiding an eight-foot-tall, crimson-eyed, pale-skinned Evolved Zombie form from a stoic military commander with gravity powers, it’s doing so while carrying an oversized pink canvas tote bag and wearing cozy grey sweatpants.Up on the sun-scorched concrete roof of the commercial bank building, Kael Raven was staring at me with the intensity of a man trying to solve a high-level quantum physics equation with a wooden stick."Your name is Lena," Kael repeated slowly, his deep voice dropping into a low, gravelly baritone that practically vibrated through my sneakers. He didn't sheath his double-edged combat blade. Instead, he held it loosely at his side, his dark eyes tracking every micro-expression on my face. "Just... Lena?""Lena Lin," I corrected cheerfully, leaning casually against my heavy iron crowbar. "Former senior administrative logistics assistant, current sovereign trader of District 4, and part-time savior of stressed-out military men who spe

  • Reborn As The Zombie Queen   CHAPTER 15 — THE MAN ON THE ROOFTOP

    If there is one thing more entertaining than watching a chaotic zombie mob try to climb a fire escape, it’s watching an overly serious military guy try to solve an entire apocalypse using pure, unadulterated brute force.Up on the flat roof of the three-story commercial bank building, Kael Raven was currently having what I like to call a "stressful Tuesday."BOOM!A wave of purple kinetic energy erupted from Kael’s left hand, flattening five charging ghouls into the concrete roof like oversized tube-socks. His stoic, jaw-line-for-days face was covered in a light sheen of sweat, his combat boots planted firmly on the ledge as he swung his double-edged blade in a lethal, precise arc.SLASH!"Hold the line!" Kael barked over his shoulder, his deep, gravelly voice echoing down into the alleyway. "Damon, keep your pressure on that leg wound! Mia, protect the data drive!"Behind him, huddled against a noisy, rattling air conditioning unit, were his three deeply traumatized companions: a wou

  • Reborn As The Zombie Queen   CHAPTER 14 — FIRST TRIP OUTSIDE

    To truly appreciate how thoroughly ruined the world is, you have to leave your comfortable, diesel-powered apartment complex and take a leisurely stroll down the main interstate highway. At 10:00 AM on Day Two of the apocalypse, I officially stepped past the northern perimeter wall of District 4, taking my first proper trip outside my immediate neighborhood in full Evolved Zombie Form. The view was a breathtaking, masterpiece-level catastrophe. The sky above was a toxic gradient of bruised violet and sulfur-yellow. The eight-lane interstate highway leading out of the city was a dead, motionless graveyard of smashed commuter sedans, burned-out delivery trucks, and overturned military transport vehicles. Columns of thick black smoke billowed from burning high-rise apartments on the horizon, while entire city blocks lay in scorched, blackened ruins where gas mains had ruptured during the initial panic. Down on the asphalt below, thousands upon thousands of grey-skinned infected

  • Reborn As The Zombie Queen   CHAPTER 13 — THE STRANGE SIGNAL

    There are moments in life where you realize you are entirely too overqualified for your current surroundings.For instance, while ordinary survivors were crouched under kitchen tables crying over stale saltines, I was standing in the middle of a ruined urban intersection in my Level Two Evolved Zombie Form, casually munching on a cold peppered roast beef wrap while my internal radar system threw a massive biological temper tantrum.BZZZZZZZZT!A sharp, static-heavy shockwave vibrated through my optic nerves. My vision flickered violently as a massive, pulsing icon erupted on my Zombie Sense radar map. It wasn't the dull grey blips of mindless infected, the warm gold blips of cowering humans, or the bright crimson blips of standard evolved zombies.It was a terrifying, deep-cyan energy signature, pulsing with a rhythmic, heavy, bass-like frequency that rattled the fillings in my back teeth.I froze mid-chew, dropping a box of high-performance spark plugs I’d been about to shove into my

Outside, the sky was a cheerful shade of bruised plum. Inside Apt 308, the air smelled delightfully of freshly brewed espresso, diesel exhaust, and high-tier undead biological evolution.I stood in the center of my living room in full Evolved Zombie Form.Shift check: Cold, pale marble skin? Check. Glowing purple veins crackling across my cheekbones? Check. Twin crimson searchlight eyes illuminating the ceiling? Double check. Four-inch obsidian talons currently tapping against my glass coffee table? Absolute check.On the table in front of me sat t
