PREVIEW VOL 2:
Adam Jenkins is the sole living human survivor of a 200 person cadre of military personnel, living in an underground bunker, located underneath Andrew’s Air Force Base. Adam’s only companions include: Schafer- a genetically enhanced, intelligent, Jindo Hound, G.R.O.U.C.H.O.- The bunker’s sentient computer, and Lilith- his zombified x-girlfriend. Adam lives off a steady diet of denial and routine to keep himself sane. He is creepily optimistic about his predicament, and upbeat demeanor guides him through his existence. This all changes when he gets an Email from a woman named Eve from a naval bunker 60 miles away in Lexington Park, Maryland. They start an online relationship, that over time starts to break down his rose colored existence. Adam finally breaks down and decides to find this woman of his dreams. He packs up Schaffer, downloads Groucho into a scooter, and leaves the bunker with a “Dear John Video” for Lilith. What he doesn’t know is that when he opens the doors to the outside, he opens all the doors, allowing Lilith to escape and start, unbeknownst to our protagonist, trailing behind him. As Adam begins reantiquating himself in a post apocalyptic world. He meets up with Pack Rat- A British national, ex lobbyist that has an adopted daughter of sorts in Prudence: a bold and mouthy girl with a penchant for mischief and brutal honesty. After our group has encountered a survivor group of cruel murderous frat boys and a town overrun with zombies trying to ape their old living existence, our featured players have settled down for the evening outside of St. Leonard, Maryland. And here we begineth this preview! READ ON YA’ HUMPS!!!! Dan Nokes 4-25-12

EPRELUDE THE FIRST
Adam, I’m…I’m sorry for all the things I said earlier…
If you want to find a safer route once we get down the road I understand?
Packrat. I don’t blame you. I put you and Pru in danger… But every direction the kid and I have taken the last 7 years, is wrought with walking corpses, rape gangs, and a host of crazies!
At least with you, the Mutt and the talking Vespa, you seem on the up and up, Not to mention strength in numbers and all! VESPA! I am a sophisticated piece of tech! Not some filini art house hiipstermobile thank you very much!
Thanks Mate. And its been you three living in the underground hut for seven years?!
You three pretty much have been like this?
More or less
No…Sounds insane. But no more than what I’ve seen in the past 48 hours?
And you have no idea what she’s like other than late night romantic rendezvous on the ol’ webernets?!

Living… Yea, right?. .
Not to change the subject, but I’ve been scanning this journal we found back in Prince Frederick. The last few entries are page turners.
That’s it! Some weather damage ruined the remaining pages. I think this journal belonged to the corpse we saw back in Dunkirk?
Quote "I don’t know how the gates got opened but the town became overrun with the dead. Most of About 20 of us managed to make it to the Courthouse. Its been two weeks and the food is almost gone. We are going to try and make a break tomorrow. I am leaving this journal behind. If I don’t survive, I think that the preacher was responsible. He…”
The facts do match up.. Anything else that’s important.
And he what?!
2
Mention’s this elusive preacher. Came to town. Was all fire and brimstone, tried to politic his way into power. The town council was getting close to booting him out. Then the town cooincidentaly goes to hell in a hand basket not 24 hours later.
Would like to believe that Packrat.
Bonkers world that we survivors have made for ourselves Adam! Get some sleep! Tomorrow we meet your lady love and put some of this ugliness behind us!
But its 25 miles to Lexington Park…A lot can happen in 25 miles…
Your trying to ruin my sleep aren't you Jenkins? No go to bed!

Lusby, MD. July 8th Midnight… I am back in my hometown after 7 years…
There is a gun to my head…
I am surrounded by what appears to be the Southern Maryland chapter of the Beyond Thunderdome Appreciation Society…
Interesting story really.. Began with some unforeseen roadwork at The Solomon’s Island Bridge
Care to know how Packrat and I wound up in this predicament?

Solomon's Island, MD. July 8th 8:30 am
Looks like The National guard blew out our easy way to your booty call Adam?
Does, Romantic Interlude suit your palette? In any case there is a gap that makes aforementioned bridge somewhat impassable?
If you think I am Evel Knieveling over the Patuxent you are confusing me with an ai system with no sense of reality!
Agreed? Alternatives anyone?
Anyone else?
Might be a leftover boat at the Marina that can get us across.?
I don’t see much other alternative?
Its not a “booty call”?!
9
Swimming across is not an option. The current will drag you into the bay in no time flat.
Besides that Adam, the dead have a habit of falling or walking into the water.
So it’s the marina then?…
You know how to steer a boat?
I grew up near here. Dad had a small powerboat we used to go out on…
No offence mate, but I will feel better when I am on the other side of the river, now I..WHAT IS THAT?!?
That my friend… 10
Is another little barrier left by our pals at the national guard!
HELLO! IS ANYONE THERE?!
Bloody perfect…
Identify yourselves!
My name is Adam and my two friends and I are looking for a boat to the other side of the river? ADAM! NO! YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT’S ON THE OTHER SIDE?!
11
Hold there! The Reverend Mayor will be right with you! Reverend Mayor?
Welcome friends to to our little flock of the pious and faithful!
Groucho, switch off. I don’t trust this guy. And I don’t want an ace up my sleeve incase things go south.
No problem Boss! Less I have to say to captain creepoid the better.
Praise the lord in all his splendid glory! Hallelujah!
I am the Reverend Mayor Justinian St. Constantine…
12
Enter here ye wary travelers! All children of of the lord are welcome in these green pastures he has so graciously provideth for us!
Your transport will be watched over here while you rest and refresh yourselves!
Come now! You must be tired from your journey. Come inside!
Said the snake in the hole to the rabbit‌ Thank you for the hospitality sir. But all we need is a boat ride if you have one?
13
Of course! The holy spirit that imbues this sacred ground will provide all you need!
Or his youngest and most innocent of spring lambs!
He tends to all his creations. Such as this noble beast before me!
GRRRR!
Creepy much?
Enter ye all who seek the lord! His bounty is made to all who seek his light!
And woe he to the wolves of darkness who seek to bring blight these promised Lands!
