User blog:Jarod Pillagebane/New Story (Coming Soon)

Ok, sorry for not working on The Adventures of Jarod Pillagebane: Book 1: Beware of Zombies lately, but I'm thinking about wrapping it up, having about a five-year gap between the first one and the second one, and then having Jarod and his crew trapped in--well, I think this poster can better explain it. :)





So, I think this is how I'm gonna close off the first volume, just a sneak peak:

As Jarod and his crew marched through the heavy brush, toward what could very well be their voyage to Kingdom Come, the first zombies came into view. They were clad in the same disgustingly used garb as always; torn sashes, blood stained sleeves and pantlegs (possibly still their from their own, individual demises), skin so pale you'd think they'd never seen the light o' day, boots worn so long, with so many tiny holes and nooks that a small ecosystem of maggots, unfortunate prey, and more lived inside. This is it, Jarod thought to himself. Black powder, 24-pounder cannons, massive iron cannonballs and any other imaginable firearm were all being used towards the other. Someone's going to get blown sky-high, what with all this powder, thought Jarod, and God knows who that unfortunate soul may be. James, Jarod, Declan, Scotty, Richard, the ship's lower officers, and the whole of the remaining crew of--lawfully licensed, odd as it may seem--their crew bravely abandoned their cannons and charged the enemy head-on. This'll either be a dazzling victory, or a bloody massacre, thought Jarod shortly before evading an attack by a zombie that would have cost him his head. Jarod wondered if an attack this open and bold was bravery or sheer foolishness.

So, tell me what you think. Any feedback, suggestions, et cetera?

I am planning on making at least one more book after the second one and, if I have time, more.
