Everything Appears To Be Under Control


Author's note:

One of my favorite movies is Night Of The Living Dead. This fan fiction is based on the line in the film when the reporter, Bill Cardille, after interviewing Sheriff McClelland - the leader of the ghoul search and destroy team - says, "Everything appears to be under control."

As we know by now, the situation doesn't remain under control for very long and the result is zombies taking over as seen in George Romero's subsequent films.

This story explores the concept of control. What is it? Why do we need it? Why do we think we have it? Do we ever really have it? How can we lose it and what happens when we lose it...all set within the time period of Night Of The Living Dead. The narrator is unidentified. He or she is just trying to survive.

Hope you enjoy it.

Finally, I don't own the characters or concepts in any of George Romero's zombie movies and the definitions of control come from Google.
