Grade School Survival

CREEPERS by Tammy Sayler is told from the POV of a grade-schooler named Karin. This short story had me completely on edge, worried and disgusted with the treatment of the children, especially when the reference to Lord of the Flies is made as a threat.

The tension within the group reminded me of The Mist by Stephen King. Not much interaction with the zombies, but I could feel Karin's anxiety radiate off the pages. I just wish it had been longer.

As always,
