Monsterland Reanimated
by Michael Okon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Young Adult Fiction/Thriller
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
After
Monsterland has imploded, the entire world is thrown into chaos. World
leadership is gone, economies have collapsed, and communications are
non-existent. Wyatt must go beyond the boundaries of his small town to
reestablish contact with the outside world, and alert the government about a
traitor-in-chief.
During
his journey he discovers a new threat released from the bowels of the defunct
theme park.
When
an army of relentless mummies, a life-sucking ooze called The Glob, and a
hybrid reanimated Behemoth rise from the depths of Monsterland, who will
survive?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT ONE:
A
bright moon painted the desert’s surface pewter. Here and there, dark spots
soiled the landscape like oil spills. Most of the bodies had been taken before
the troops were ordered to leave. They carted away the corpses, bulldozing the
zombies into mass graves, until radios chirped with urgent orders deploying the
soldiers to the bigger threats that erupted in the main cities like a chain of
angry volcanos.
Monsterland
was extinguished, its carcass left for the vultures to pick, the exhibits
silent as a tomb.
The
dead president and his equally dead entourage were whisked away on Air Force
One, along with the dark-clad special operatives that came and left like the
brisk desert wind that now howled through the empty streets.
A
gate screamed in the silence, slamming with a reverberating smash. The uneven
gait of someone with a physical challenge filled the void. The scrape and plod
of his limp echoed against the wall of mountains framing the theme park. His
labored breathing huffed as he made his way down the streets.
A
door creaked loudly as it was blown by the wind. He stopped, his distorted
figure silhouetted in the pale moonlight, his body turning silver. He looked at
the broken glass littering the pavement like diamonds, then up to the still,
pre-dawn sky. He considered the sun peeking over the jagged horizon in the
east, its golden light painting the dips and hollows of the hills. Soon the
coming day would chase the darkness away.
Time
was the enemy now. He had to move faster, or it would be too late. He picked up
his pace, lurching along the winding road. A keening howl ricocheted through
the streets, bouncing off the walls. It sounded like a … no, he thought, it
couldn’t be. The werewolves were all dead. Destroyed by Vincent Konrad when he
made their heads explode.
The
old man paused, listening for it again, and was not disappointed when the
animal whimpered. He gauged it to be inside the defunct vampire exhibit. He
moved toward the entrance. The storefronts had been destroyed. A few body parts
lay on the pavement, as if people had discarded them in a rush. He heard the
scraping of paws on the street and a shiver went down his crooked spine.
