      Zombie Winter - Jason Strange

      Chapter 1

      The Long Winter

      By the beginning of February, Kane Tuttle was sick of winter. He was sick of walking to school before the sun was up, and he was sick of gray skies all day. He was sick of having to walk through six new inches of snow a few times every week.

      Hey, Nick said when he reached Kane.

      Hey, Kane mumbled back. He pulled
