13,300 words, 41 pages.
The Dead are East of the Rockies and the end is coming fast. State lines turn into free-fire quarantine zones, and refugees with hungry corpses at their heels charge into the slaughter.
Colonel Brandt flies his helicopter over the living and the dead and he's got a way to make sure they come out on top when they finally make it to the last mile and the deathmatch, but going through with Brandt's plan and ensuring that they're the last men standing will rob Omar of something far more precious than his life.
Omar realizes Brandt is flying him to a fate worse than death, but the only thing he wants is to get there and kill every last living soul.
The Fall is episode five of six in A.D. Bloom's Dead Tide series.
