This is a preview for Chapter 24 of World of Anarchy entitled: Siren's Song

“What do you got there?” Riley asked him, bringing him back to the present.

They were in a comic book store that they had decided to cut through on the way to find supplies. He had decided to browse what was there for anything that he could use to occupy his time. One of the comics had caught his eye.

“Just a comic.” He said handing it to her.

She turned the comic right side up to read the title. “World of Anarchy? Weird name. What kind of comic is this anyway?” She said flipping through a few of the pages.

“A zombie apocalypse one.” He said as he turned his attention back to the other comics.

“Of all of the comics in here, you pick the zombie one?”

“Yep.” He said leafing through a few more comics.

“So, what is this, like a knock-off of The Walking Dead?”

“Looks like it.” He said as he noticed a few other zombie comics. “Hey, there's more.” He said as he picked them up and began to read off the titles. “Dead Frontier, Endangered, Extinction, Step by Step, The Ones Who Remain, Fear The Living, Apocalypse Life, A Long Road To Fortune, Mercy...their all published by the same company, Undead Comics. And oh look, there's a crossover series between a few of them where the some of the characters from each are sucked into an alternate universe and have to fight each other to survive.”

“Kinda like the Hunger Games?” She said as she examined them all.

“I guess.” David said with a shrug.

“What are ya'll lookin' at?” Leo said approaching them.

“A couple walking dead Esq stories.” Riley responded.

“Ugh,” Leo said turning. “That show is boring as all hell. Not nearly as good as Eden Rising.” Leo left them and exited from the store.

David and Riley began to follow after him. Before leaving the store, he tossed all the comics in a trash can next to the door.

“You're not gonna keep them?”

“No.” He said as they walked out onto the streets. “I've had enough zombies for one lifetime.”
