This was an interesting short novella. I really liked it, though I found it a bit disturbing that those friends had a game called the Apocalypse game, which meant they had to think of a scenario that would end the world and discuss it.

I am sure there are more fun things to do on Friday night, more fun than making up doom scenarios.

The second half of this file is a scene from Feed, which was a bit disappointing - I expected the story itself to be longer. As a story, it was okay. Definitely a fucked up scenario, but doesn't really go anywhere, you know?

It's a good enough short story but has nothing to do with the Newsflesh series. In fact depending on how you interpret the ending, it even conflict the Newsflesh series. So I feel that it is misleading to cal this part of the same series. But, as I said it is a good story. Not worth $2 though.

So this has nothing to do with Newsflesh or zombies. I wasn't expecting it to. I enjoyed it a lot, and I wish it were more than a short story. It would make a fantastic intro to an apocalyptic adventure of chaos. I need a The Stand-sized follow up.
