The Truck Stop – Part 3, Ditchwater by Robert Van Dusen [Segment 2 of 4]

My ongoing series of Choose Your Own Adventure stories set in the universe of my Get Out Alive series. A California Highway Patrol officer follows a suspicious semi to an isolated truck stop in the middle of the Mojave Desert. Shenanigans ensue when the coyotes' cargo of roughly a hundred and fifty illegals turns into about seventy-five or so zombies.

The Caper

A short story I wrote for an online contest. A pair of hoods get the brilliant idea to stick up an illegal gambling hall. Things...don't exactly go to plan. Not that such actions would usually be conducive to a long and healthy life, if you know what I mean, and I think you do.
