Ah, Josh…. You think you got away clean, but you don’t know what we know……. Masterful storytelling, as always, Derek! This one was a bunch of fun! You truly are a fantastic, and inventive writer!❤. Love it! Thank you!
I adore these first month stories! The panic as something goes terribly wrong, then terror as they realise what's going on, then more panic as they try to survive. I loved this one! They really don't know what's heading their way. I hope Josh doesn't go to the hospital to try and save mindy 😢 Brilliant writing as always 😊
Another amazing story! I've caught up with about 80% of all your videos. Huge fan of your work! I did get an idea for you ( if you even read this ) You should do a story based on the perspective of police dispatch receiving their first actual calls about the "zombies" and ignoring the urgency of the callers thinking its a prank, but then receiving more and more until they start hearing back from other sources, and once reaching the climax the dispatchers leaving their station. It's probably a crazy idea, but a good one, I believe. Keep up the work!
I'm glad you're enjoying the series! And I actually had that down as a story idea, but haven't gotten to it just yet (so many ideas, haha) so don't be surprised if you hear it in the near future. I appreciate the suggestion!
I love these audios. I love them so much even when I’m driving to work. I listen to them at home as well, man there are so fascinating. They keep me on the edge. They keep me awake at night with the horror.
I can't wait for cruise story from Dead America but another book that has a great zombie cruise story is The Savage Dead by Joe McKinney. Joe has a great book series.
"Why is crime so high in America?" Reads plausible story about an armed robbery to pay for an MRI. The whole premise falls apart in a civilized country.
I know that you wrote in the hospital bills part to make the protagonist seem more sympathetic. But seriously, an MRI is not a treatment---it will not make anyone better. It is only diagnostic tool. An MRI would have been done, as required by a doctor, immediately upon admittance, especially with an accident victim. It is the law that any hospital must perform all life saving tests and treatments in an emergency. They will do the tests and administer treatment, and then worry about who pays. Will they go after your insurance company? Of course. Will they dun you for it? Absolutely. But they will not sit and refuse to administer a life saving treatment or test because you cannot pay. Especially if the patient was in the ICU. Not only is it against the law, but it opens the hospital to a massive law suit. Hospitals write off more stuff than most people imagine. You needed to come up with another excuse for our robber. Or no excuse at all, just make him a guy who would rather steal than work. This was a terrific story. It is mind boggling to think of a robbery going down at the same moment that the zombie plague really rips loose. To have all that money, only to find yourself faced with the literal end of the world. It just adds to the effect, when we, the audience, know that the pair are already doomed, regardless of what they do. Another great story in a terrific series! .
Well you're half right. The hospital is required to do life saving work, but not required for quality of life. It is never said what the MRI is for, so it very well could be for quality of life vs actual life saving. But glad you liked the story!
The longer stories are coming back. I'm working on a long one right now that will hopefully be out in 2 weeks. I'm trying to condense the multipart stories into one video because they do a lot better on here.
The lowlanders? I gotta get back into that. Girlfriend and the a-hole rich guy were trapped on clean out duty on the island and boyfriend with his little group of survivors were trying to figure out how to get back to the island for rescue without the mercs finding them. Don't tell me anything, I'll find out.
Nice little stories, enjoying this series. Theres just one thing that almost kills the experience for me and that’s the AI voice reading it… Would be nice if you could try some different voices, this one is getting annoying. Or even better, get an actual human to read them!
Thank you I appreciate it! The AI voice is a necessity at this point with how much content I produce. The voice is getting better, even from between when this one was made and now. And the first hundred or so books on my channel are human narrated. It just got to the point where it was either go AI and keep weekly stories (and shorts like this one) or do one every few months with a human.
@@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthorah okay I haven’t come across those first hundred books yet, I’ll go listen to some of those, thanks for the reply. Keep up the good work
Ah, Josh…. You think you got away clean, but you don’t know what we know……. Masterful storytelling, as always, Derek! This one was a bunch of fun! You truly are a fantastic, and inventive writer!❤. Love it! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! I'll have another one on Saturday for you!
@@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor And you know I will be waiting…. lol 😂. Can’t wait! 👍
Poor Josh, he has no idea what's coming.😢

Thank you so much!
Love these one-off stories. Im here for them all.
Glad you enjoyed it! I have a LOT more planned for the New Year.
Another amazing story!

These first month stories are insanely good homie!
Glad you think so! Because I have a lot more coming.
Good shit man keep these coming. Love listening to this series at work!!!

The first month tales are the best!
Thank you! There's going to be a lot of them this year!
I love these audios. I love them so much even when I’m driving to work. I listen to them at home as well, man there are so fascinating. They keep me on the edge. They keep me awake at night with the horror.
Glad you like them! There's a lot more on the way too!
Another fix for my "Dead America" addiction.
Hope you enjoy!
Listening to this awesome story while on icon of the seas cruise ship! Can’t help and imagine an outbreak on the cruise ship 🤣
I can't wait for cruise story from Dead America but another book that has a great zombie cruise story is The Savage Dead by Joe McKinney. Joe has a great book series.
I always like this kind of bedtime stories 😊
Wow. What a surprise. Thanks for sharing this with us
You bet!
Awesome man! Will have to save for later tho❤️🇧🇻
Awesome, as usual. Thanks Derek.
"Why is crime so high in America?"

Haha yep. It's like Canadian Breaking Bad would have been one episode.
"Hello Walter, your treatment begins next week."
Keep up the great work, makes my drive to work bare able
Glad to help!
Thank you Derek!!!
My pleasure!
Not bad. The first days are always the best!
Yeah there's so much chaos and everybody is expendable

Thank you Derek, the ending was interesting ..hmm does Josh make it the hospital to only get into worse trouble?Could he be immune;
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. And who knows? We may find out next week 😀
Hey Derek. I'm confused. Are we getting only short stories on UA-cam? I'm missing the longer books. Love all you do.
The longer stories are coming back. I'm working on a long one right now that will hopefully be out in 2 weeks. I'm trying to condense the multipart stories into one video because they do a lot better on here.
@@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor OK, got it. No worries. I'm really into your books. ❤
Excellent tale.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for listening!
SWEET.!! 👍 👍 👍
Hope you enjoy!
Awesome❤
Liked before hearing the first word
Thank you!
Interesting story but my first instinct would be headshots.
"Down and stay there!"
Marines: we retain that insanity of 13 weeks of earthly Hell.
I'm wanting to see book 51 ninja clan vs zombie.

Shout out for my boys in the Tarheel state. They get things done!
The lowlanders? I gotta get back into that. Girlfriend and the a-hole rich guy were trapped on clean out duty on the island and boyfriend with his little group of survivors were trying to figure out how to get back to the island for rescue without the mercs finding them.
Don't tell me anything, I'll find out.
Oh that would be interesting

Sure thing and I appreciate you listening! There's a Main Series playlist on my channel page, which is where the human narration starts.
