Last Drinks: A Red Rain Short Story (Red Rain Collection)

by Peter M. Ball
Patrick and his friends were the oldest people in their settlement, and now the settlement is gone. All The Children have packed up and headed inland, desperate to escape the rains and the throngs of undead wandering along the coast.

Patrick and his friends didn’t want to abandon their home, but staying behind isn’t a picnic. As they celebrate their independence and talk about the old days, it’s clear some decisions require a higher price than any of them expected.

Last Drinks 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.
