The Glowing Dead: A Zombie Short Story

When floodwater from Black Lake fills the abandoned Corcoran Chemical warehouse in Angel Falls, Florida, the water turns blood red and apocalyptic. The lake rises and floods Lazarus Cemetery releasing several hundred rotting corpses. The cadavers float to the top like an incubating brew of zombies glowing from the chemical substances of the abandoned plant. Then in the darkness of evening one by one -- they come back to life, and thrash in the water, moaning guttural sounds which threaten the entire town.

Beautiful, flaxen-haired Sheriff Courtney Strout, of Angel Falls needs more than her shotgun when she and her son Jimmy are stranded in a fishing boat on Black Lake. They fight for their lives when community members, now transformed into zombies, reveal secrets of their former lives before they move in to attack. Will Courtney survive the carnage -- when her life becomes overturned by betrayal and vengeance?
