Waking Up Dead
by J.A. Cunningham
Jake Bradclaw had been struggling with unemployment. The stress from being rejected by every job he applied for along with his wife being the only provider for the household, was getting to him. One day, Jake wakes up to find his wife and daughter gone. When they do not return home, he seeks out to find them only to discover the horrifying truth...In the midst of a global pandemic, a group of evacuees are marooned atop a skyscraper in a major city after a terrible helicopter crash. Abandoning the streets to millions of hungry infected, the survivors seal off the structure at the 10th floor and string wires between it and other buildings to avoid being eaten alive by the hordes rampaging below. But dwindling supplies force those still alive to take greater risks as they struggle to survive hundreds of feet off the ground.
