Watch Out for the Dancing Ones - 52 Short Stories in 52 Weeks, #1

An unknown virus has transformed huge portions of the population into the walking dead.  Mindless corpses wandering the streets.  Only a few of these are capable of horrific and unthinkable violence. Robert DeSantos has organised a day trip with his closest friends now that government bands have been lifted and the threat is believed to be under control. The threat, to some, is in the past, but what lies on the outskirts of town is truly horrific and Robert and his friends may not live to see another sunrise. In this post-apocalyptic story about zombies and friendship, "Watch Out for the Dancing Ones" examines that even in the worst of situations human spirit can always thrive and overcome.
