It was a warm day, but it was cool in the shade.
He sat in a grotto behind the campus infirmary.
A light breeze swayed the hanging branches of a large Weeping Willow tree. The dancing greenery filtered the sunlight into splashes of illumination on the patio and long grass.
It smelled like summer.
Bill the dog lay on his back in the grass, in a patch of sun, with his legs splayed, head to one side, tongue lolling, snoring softly - no cares in the world.
The old man watched the movement of the willow from his chair in the dappled shade. The flecks of sunlight caused him to squint when the kaleidoscope sun broke through the shifting of the draped branches.

The brake lights on the lead vehicle flashed bright red. Brent was pulled from his doze by the grab of the seatbelt.
He slid his hands down his thighs smoothing the creases of his khaki pants the best he could and craned his neck to look around the black Suburban for what the delay might be now. The tinted windows made it hard to see much.

...
The smell of gunfire lingered in the air.
The storm had passed.
Black clouds, heavy with wind and water pushed east trailing rain like a dirty bridal veil dragging in the muddy grass.
Mags stood on a shipping container and surveyed the area where the battle had taken place. It was at the rear of the Distribution Center complex where the rows of metal buildings terminated at a weathered, eight-foot, chain-link fence.
When the storm passed, the smoke and haze settled into the low areas around the buildings and barricades.
Something inside one of the adjacent buildings had caught and smoke was rising out of the vent pipes. Could be bad if not addressed. Mags made a mental note to get a fire control team on that immediately before it spread.
They had lost enough on this day.

July 22, 2023 Camping Calls - Walter Skrzypek
Camping calls me…
...
First person. fiction by author Magua
Walter Skrzypek (scrip-ek). AKA Magua (Mug-wa)
Magua is a modern age outdoorsman, woodsman, hiker and explorer of the lands along with my trusted companion Timber, my pup. He's enjoyed a 30 year journey through healthcare and retiring on good graces to share some tales from outdoor adventures and experiences. With years spent in the forests and lightly travelled areas, the exposure to unusual experiences has varied and it's time to share.

Story:
I have a favorite camping spot that I frequent or had frequented. I had done so consistently for about 10 years, but not now. I had an experience that has deterred me from ever returning to that Pa state park. Each Friday, I would clear up all of my final duties from work and spring out of the office about noon, and I would head off to camp for the weekend with my best friend at that time, Simba, my pup. One Friday, I headed out at noon to arrive home. I would have my car ...

Year 12 - Jeff Brackett
Hello, my survivor friends – How are you doing? For those of you time-traveling in from the future it is July of 2023.
Today we present to you another story from one of our fellow survivors Jeff who was kind enough to lend us some audio from one of his stories called “Year 12”
"Year 12" is a post-apocalyptic novel, a sequel to the Jeff’s first novel, "Half Past Midnight". You may remember Jeff and I had a conversation about half past midnight last year, right around this time, as a matter of fact, during our Season 2 break.

June 24, 2023 Electric Witch - Christopher Zuniga
ELECTRIC WITCH

The stormy night cracking sways the wind sideway across the skies, the rain drenches her pale white skin as her wickedness freezes it to ice and hail as falling gravel the size of stones.
Her eyes a glow send white beams of lightning scanning her surround for those that cower and oppose. Runes in hand and adorning her neck brill her skintight while she reaches with the devils horns. Her long fingers stiff, stretch to the wind above her head lost in the locks of blackened ends of flaming blue silver strands of silken hair she chants her spell. Binding all that fear her call and the ice of her skin. Her toll comes from the green sea of lake as she rises call to demons to strike, strike with their CRACKLES of electricity, their thunders of DOOM…blind them with the thick of FOG let down their fire of white flame and burn the wretched that do not fear her claims.

~…and the darkness and decay…held illimitable dominion over all~

THE BLACKENING OF RENN

Renn steadied himself…and breathed.
His lungs expelled their contents in heavy bursts, but despite the distinct cold that had settled over the city, Renn noticed no trace of condensation.

“Move them out of that goddam trap!” The King shouted angrily at Harlan. “Up the left! Get around that strong point!”
His men had run straight into an ambush on their first approach. Instead of the ‘cake walk’ they had assumed.
The King was angry. This fight wasn’t going to be the pushover he had expected. He still had the guns and the numbers but didn’t like the feeling that he was being made a fool of.
Not outfought but outthought.

Michael had trouble hiding his surprise and fear when the pickets radioed in that a convoy of vehicles was moving in their direction.
He thought they were about to get caught with their pants down.
What had gone wrong? There were lookouts by the river crossings just for this reason, but this approaching force appeared from nowhere.
Was this an example of the ‘fog of war’ creating surprise and chaos, and nullifying their hasty, but well-made plans?

…
For a big dog, Bill could move very fast when he wanted to.
And, right now, he really wanted to.
Paul was the first to see the furry apparition appear from around the corner of a building, ears pinned back, tongue lolling, and making a beeline for the two men on the path.
Paul simultaneously prepared to run and looked around for a stick or rock to fight with.
But the big…dog?...it looked like a dog but could be a wolf?...nothing would surprise Paul in this wasted world…
Whatever it was, it had no interest in Paul. Instead, without hesitation, it launched itself at the old man.
