《Stuck in a zombie world with an OP shop》Chapter 41
Advertisement
Ryan is the first one to wake up in the morning. He found a bed to sleep in, but Mindy chose a comfortable spot on the carpeted floor and sprawled out with a few of the couch cushions.
Before waking Mindy up, Ryan takes a bath. The warm water is refreshing, but gives Ryan flashbacks of being pulled along by the muddy water on Grassy Island. Regardless, he pulls through and cleans his body to a degree acceptable in a pre-system world.
Instead of waking up Mindy by kicking her, Ryan sets out a breakfast of scrambled eggs, country fries and ham, bacon, and very light coffee. A few minutes into eating the breakfast himself, Mindy stumbles into the dining room.
"Smells goo-" Mindy beings to say, but projectile vomits on the table and the food Ryan's displayed.
"Mindy!" Ryan yells and flips the table into the ceiling. It comes crashing down, throwing food and vomit and dishes everywhere, but none of it gets on Ryan or Mindy.
"I'm sorry," Mindy says and walks runs out of the room holding her mouth with one hand and her stomach with the other.
Ryan returns to the living room and sits on the couch after replacing the cushions. Mindy's doing something in another room, probably vomiting more, and Ryan is bored, so he buys some things from the shop to entertain him.
CD Player, 1500 ₵
Speakers, 340 ₵
In addition to these, Ryan buys a few CD's from his favorite bands and inserts them into the CD player. A few second later, he remembers the house doesn't have electricity, and buys a portable CD player with built-in speakers.
A few minutes later, Mindy walks into the room with her hair messy as a broom. "Can you make me a bath?" She asks, and Ryan nods before following her into the bathroom.

After making the bath and stocking it with new soap and hair care products, Ryan returns to the living room to listen to his CD's. Most are old rock songs, but some are soul and Motown.
Half an hour later, Mindy comes walking out of the bathroom wearing her Ultra Woman spandex cosplay and a towel around her hair.
"Don't ever let me drink vodka again," She says and sits next to Ryan on the couch.
"I'll keep that in mind," Ryan says. It's been a few weeks since he's heard these songs, and he switches to Walk on By, by Isaac Hayes.
After a few minutes of listening to the CD player, Mindy is the one to speak.
"This is a nice song," She says, leaning back and enjoying it.
"Yep," Ryan says. When the song finishes, he replaces the CD with on by Led Zeppelin.
"Are you ready to go?" Ryan asks after a few tracks play.
"Just a few more hours," Mindy answers, laying back with her eyes closed.
"Alright," Ryan says and adds a handheld videogame to his shop.

The Girl from the Mountain
Alexandra Bedford is a weapon, a young woman with telekinetic powers capable of leveling entire cities, born to fight in the desolate remains of post-apocalyptic North America. There is only one problem: she may be losing control of her abilities. Sixteen years after a global pandemic devastated the earth’s population, the lines in the old United States have been drawn between the Cheyenne Directorate in Colorado and the New England Alliance on the East Coast. The Directorate, of which Alexandra is a part, is a small but powerful organization dedicated to returning the country to its former glory. However, when a diplomatic mission to the New England Alliance goes wrong, Alexandra finds herself at the center of a bloody civil war. Battles are fought on the old highways and in dilapidated towns and once-great cities. And as the conflict escalates, all of North America faces the threat of being burnt away by nuclear fire. Against this backdrop of war, Alexandra tries to uncover the long-hidden secrets behind the plague, her abilities, and the two men fighting to decide the fate of the United States - Henry Bedford, Alexandra's father and leader of the Directorate, and John Martin, the mysterious figure at the heart of the New England Alliance who may hold the key to everything she seeks. None of this will matter, however, unless Alexandra can prevent the power growing inside her from taking over and consuming the very world she is fighting to save. Author's Notes: I appreciate you taking a look at my novel, The Girl from the Mountain. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, military thrillers, and/or cosmic horror, I think you'll enjoy this story. I completed the novel's first draft back in 2011 and made significant changes in 2016. Since then, I've more-or-less sat on the manuscript while working on other projects. Thanks to a bit of prodding, I've decided to send this story out into the wild with some touch-ups and additional revisions. I welcome any comments or criticisms, and I hope you enjoy The Girl from the Mountain!
