A SYNOPSIS OF M.D. (MORGUE OF THE DEAD) BY LEE TAYLOR

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF THE TOWN YOU LIVED IN WAS OVERTAKEN BY FLESH-EATING ZOMBIES? WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF A LOVED ONE TURNED INTO ONE OF THEM?

The town of Clifton Falls had recently put aside the terrible bank robbery from a few months earlier, only to be faced with the worst week in the lives of every resident. Blake sat with his closest friends, thinking about the week that was best left forgotten. He’d been a survivor of the deadly onslaught of crazed zombies, and he sat, telling his story to his friends.

Blake’s farming company was chosen to be the guinea pig for a new, chemical tested fertilizer. It was meant to destroy the plant-eating bugs, and therefore help grow the crops. This was supposed to be the answer for a profitable year, but turned out to be the reason as to why the dead were rising again.

A crazy rainstorm washed the compost away from the field and it found its way onto a deceased corpse, a man who’d taken his own life. Any corpse that’d been in close contact with the fertilizer was given the chance to live again, but only if the person had been dead for less than nine months. Wives, mothers, friends, and lovers, were going to die brutally by one of these sick, twisted monsters.

The local bank manager bought a bag of the fertilizer for his garden, but the crazy storm washed it over his mother’s grave. The horror was going to spread in a different part of town.

Clifton Falls hospital was piling up with victims, but how could anyone have known that zombies truly existed?

The local police chief and his men finally control the situation, but the next day arrives, bringing more chaos, as the robbers are back to dig up their cash. The money is buried inside the coffin of a recently deceased body, but the dead person isn’t dead anymore. The robbers flee after one of them is savagely attacked by the dead corpse. Now the graveyard is overtaken by the recent dead. They find a way out and head through the forest in search of more humans. The local holiday village is in the forest and the beasts smell their prey as they close in.

A twisted and violent battle escalates, as the police chief recruits new staff to replace the ones killed, but he knows that time is running out. The night falls and the creatures have the upper hand. They now stalk the humans, picking them off inside the forest. The battle goes on till the early hours.

The next day brings an end to the slaughter and the chief has to find a way to get rid of the fertilizer. He decides to burn it, but while the flames spiral and the ashes scatter, they land behind a large hedgerow. This spot is where recently planted graves are, but of who? If the compost was the reason to why the dead rose again, then what would happen if the ashes landed on graves? Probably nothing, but the crazy rain shower is back.
