Rick Macy

18. Roarton born and bred, Rick is the only son of Bill, the unofficial leader of the village.

As a lad, Rick was always encouraged towards macho pursuits, but no matter what he did, he couldn鈥檛 hide his growing bond with Kieren.

I鈥檓 not like you."
Rick

Rather than be open with his Dad about his close friendship with outsider Kieren, Rick joined up. The army was perfect for Rick; it was an escape from his feelings and his father's judgements, that is, until he was killed by an IED.

Now Rick鈥檚 alive again, partially. A treated zombie. But his dad鈥檚 feelings towards rotters haven鈥檛 changed, so he must try and keep his new condition covered up, and the connection with Kieren, that is as strong as ever, under wraps too.

David Walmsley
