God! Seems like an eternity ago I put those down just to get the fiction section rolling. I still kinda like them, and the premis of catching those very first moments it starts...

Personally I have always thought that they were cool, but have you ever put any thought into expanding them into longer stories?

Not really... They just set the seen of those first few minutes...

'Options' (in the fiction section) sort of explores this 'moment' as well... I could imagine that (& a couple of others like it) forming the beginning of a book.

These were obviously the first stories I read when I discovered this site many years ago...sitting there with the HPotD theme music going and plowing through all those new and wonderful zombie tales...happy days! :)

There are several other very short stories on this site that would make great interludes in any book (maybe start every chapter with one), just a quick cut to another person survivng as best they can, then back to the main story...one of my all time faves is "foraging" by Eddie Poe.
