This story lacks a lot of substance. The simplistic, but broken rhythm mimic the grammar that occupies the wonder of children not able grasp grammatical rules. The expression is stale and it feels like you watched a zombie movie before placing your own rendition of a zombie outbreak. I suggest more feel of the genre to avoid regurgitating established stories.

Very good story about a Zombie war, although me personally would have been a bit more interested in descriptions of the weapons and a better idea why Phil was a good choice. Nice flow through the story very well written, thanks for sharing.

Lol. What a bummer for Miami. Great little story for contest, Raul. The only advice I could give would be: have the book he got ironically have something to do with zombies or something like that. Haha. Plus "He ran to his car. (Space missing) Some..." Best of luck in the contest, R.

A good war story. I hope nothing like this really happens, we have enough trouble contending with live people. Is this part of a book you are writing
or just for the fanstory contest? Good work.

    Thank you! No, it isn't. It is just for the fanstory contest. Thanks for asking, friend. I'm so happy that you enjoyed my story!

That is funny. It left me with a giggle. To think Phil is now the leader. He seems so timid at first.

The only problem I have is the overuse of "He." I wonder if there could be other ways of referring to the main character.

There are some problems with the grammar that need fixing.
e.g. crashing into... or crashing around inside
like before or like it was before
he had seen lots of

Unfortunately these problems detract from the story, making it less powerful.

Interesting. I really like the story line. I notice a few inconsistencies in past and present tense. I'm always struggling with that. Following the Walking Dead also, I can completely relate with the shock the main character feels.

Hello Raul1

I like your story of zombies (the living dead) and how you made it interesting by Phil how he watched lots of episodes of the Walking Dead TV series and knew what to expect of of the brain eaters,
and he was wise to make the bookstore a haven. I likes how you ended that the book store was going to be a military haven for humans.

This is a very action-packed story beginning to end. Your first sentence caught my attention, the story held it to the end. Great use of a writing prompt, nicely done.

Interesting "take" on the writing prompt requirements, since this is not the conventional type of "war." I enjoyed reading your story, but I would suggest adding some dialogue to spice it up.
