Description

When the zombies rose, Val and Janice retreated to small farmhouse in the mountains, putting up fences and joining the local militia to keep their community safe. "At least we have each other," they thought, "everything will be just fine."

It turns out long nights hunting the dead and long days wondering if something has gone wrong will take its toll on every marriage.

Trouble is brewing out past the fence, and Janice fears it will soon find its way inside.

Out Past The Fence by Peter M. Ball is part of the Red Rain Collection, a fiercely weird series of short stories which blends the dirty realism of Raymond Carver with the absurdity of the zombie apocalypse. Snack on these delicious morsels of fiction between longer reads or devour the entire series in a single sitting.
