Mad in the Horde

High-stakes survival fueled by gaming reflexes and cold fury.

Mid-match blindness drops a ranked player into the very post-apocalyptic novel he trashed, wearing the skin of a namesake cannon-fodder character. Tier Six zombies press against an armored vehicle while the body's wife commands gunners to withhold fire during a camp-wide broadcast, and her male friend salivates over the inner-city slot his sacrifice will buy. The original plot demands begging and death, but years of competitive instinct refuse the script. A high-frequency concussion grenade finds the ventilation valve, and the horde's attention pivots sharply toward the steel walls.
