THE ENGINEER IN JAIL WITH 2000 ZOMBIES I built this prison. Now I'm locked in SHU-14 wearing INMATE #27241 with only a roll of blueprints, while 2000 zombies drag themselves down my corridor. My food slot is 4 inches tall. A guard's dead hand is reaching IN through it, trying to grab me. Outside is Maya, the nurse who believes people can still be saved. On the intercom is Officer Kelsey Stone, 20, beautiful, blonde ponytail, hates every criminal in orange — including me. She ordered me to get on the ground. I saved her anyway. Now she watches me on the monitor and asks if there's a place for her on my blueprint. This isn't a prison break. This is a reverse prison break. I have to make my cage so strong that hell can't break in. Hardcore engineering survival. One cell. 2000 zombies. Two women. One blueprint.
