Cradle of Ash

Ashbrook was a company town until the sickness closed the road out. The cordon held; the town did not. What walks it now got up after it died, and putting it down again only buys time - a body that is not burned comes back, and comes back worse. Survivors work the terraces, the chapel and the flooded works for a way past the cordon, burning what they kill and rationing what they have left to burn it with.
