You're very welcome!

Human written story, just an AI narrator.

Hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much for listening! Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm glad they help! I'll have another one for you next week too!

I thought about that and have the stories be way over the top as the teller embellished their tale.

To an extent. Capable and rises to the occasion, but it's not an overpowered survival story if that makes sense.

Lucky and maybe very observant ...

Thank you! I'll have another one next week!

😁 I do that too, I sometimes listen to some _inferior_ zombie stories that repeat the same phrases or are written by a moron. Then I will listen to these because they are funny, tragic, scary, and just full of world building that is interesting and compelling when you fall into them. I'll think of the nurse, the kid from the lab that's the only scientist that can work on the cure, the guy with the burned face and his sister. These characters have juice. And these stories are really light on the "H and K firing 5.5 N.A.T.O subsonic round hollow points through handmade suppressors" thing. Not that it's bad, but sometimes it's a substitute for characters. It's like someone decided developed characters aren't as cool as a shopping list. Love me some guns, but it's not always the answer is my thinking. Little zombies have big ears. Anyway, yes I'll have fries with that.

Thank you I appreciate it. Hope you enjoy your marathon!

My pleasure! stay warm and hope you enjoy!

@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor Sr. You always deliver , and really thank you for your amazing creativity.

Thank you my friend! hope you are doing well!

@@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor meant every single word derek. particularly the bit where i wrote that your work is bein emulated and, most certainly not diluted sir. i reiterate, though often copied, there are few originals, like yourself. they do exist, but, you rate very highly and, that must be recognized.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Can't speak to others, but I love me some zombies, so I made this series.

Thank you! I have a couple more of these short stories plotted out that I'm going to do, but I'm putting together a big series that should start right after that. I'm thinking it's going to be an interconnected series of standalones, similar to what NYC and Lexington was, but it's going to be set at the Outer Banks in North Carolina. That's where I went on vacation last year and it sparked a lot of ideas I wanted to explore.

@@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor I’m from Lexington and loved those!!!!

there's roughly 340 hours of stories set in this zombie universe on the channel! check out the playlists page, which has the main series, an 18 part standalone series, as well as dozens of standalone shorts like this story.

@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor sweet. This was my first. I'll definitely check them out. I always have a zombie apocalypse book playing while I'm working. I'm glad for new material because believe me I've listened to a looooot of them. Lol

I have plans for a followup series down the line picking up the stories in the 2nd month with some of these. Going to be a little while tho

Thank you! Just trying out some different ideas with this series.

I try to look at the silver lining. Sure I'd be toast, but at least I'd be spared all that running. Haha

@ No way!! I’d love the chance to survive!! I’d enjoy the struggle a little too much.

It's just an AI voice. The words are all mine. With as much content as I produce, using an AI voice was the only way to have weekly content without going broke, haha.

Thank you!

Thank you! I appreciate it!

I'm glad it helped you get through your Monday! hope you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much! I'll have another one for you on Saturday!

Haha thank you!

Thank you so much! I'll have another one for you next weekend!

I like them too because for the same reason. When I do a main series entry I have to go back and do research to make sure the story is right. With these I can jump right into the chaos.

Thank you! Glad you're here and enjoying the stories. I'm going to have a lot of these early day stories this year, with new ones every saturday!

Glad you enjoyed it

I second the international! That British one I can still remember well and was super magnetized listening to it. I reckon that took quite a chunk of time and energy. Definitely appreciated!

I have ideas for both of those! I have a couple more shorts to do next week, but after that I'll be jumping into a longer story!

@@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor I’m glad you mentioned longer story because I remember earlier on leaving a comment about biking shorter videos because I listen to them when I’m sleeping and then lose track where I dozed off at one and so forth but finally KZbin has a timer function! It might be a premium feature, but it’s worth it in my opinion, watching KZbin without the premium feature is like having a pager before cell phones. I’ll have to go back and start listening to those episodes. But I have to admit, after being spoiled with human narrators and some AI that has a bit more intonation inflection so on and so forth, it might be a hard one to do. I think what’s most cringe is when There is a point in the dialogue which is either sad or exciting or something with an! And the AI reads it as monotone as anything else. I can’t emulate it, but it’s like that boring science teachers that reads the same throughout the whole thing “and then Andy called out to Andrew “you have to jump now!”

My pleasure! Hope you enjoy!

My pleasure! Hope you enjoy!

I'm glad you enjoy them! And glad to know I'm brightening up your week. I'll be back next week with another one (and some longer ones in the not too distant future!)

Same. A bright spot, anyway lol
