HaHa yess, i knew it had that British feel. Nice one man.

Thanks to everyone who read and reviewed this.

I know it's not my best. I wrote it in a few days... I feel I should have used the entire week to get the best but I had to write this. I needed to write a zombie story and I felt that this challenge was my way into it. Could've been way, way better. Just a story inspired by Shaun of the Dead, milkmen everywhere and... mmm, other zombie flicks.

Thanks again.

Jamie

Ya know, I thought Sean wrote this, and I thought the one sean wrote you did, seems you two may have a lot in common

Good job though

Quoted from ReaperCreeper The first thing I noticed here was the name Albert Birkin. Could this be a reference to Resident Evil's Albert Wesker and William Birkin?? lol. There's even a Barry later on.

Forgot to point this out! Thanks to MeatForTheBeast for noticing this.

As a, kinda, trivia thing for this script (the zombies and all) I thought I'd add a couple of references into it. So, I thought I'd go with the zombie franchise that got me into zombies, which was the game series of Resident Evil. Every character in Milkman, even the name of the town, is a reference to one of the characters to at least one of the Resi Evil games... just the last names and first names jumbled around. Thought it was a neat idea anyway.

    

Gawd – I feel like I’ve been reading these milk stories forever.  I didn’t make it to this one during the challenge because of the logline.  For the next OWE work on generating a more compelling synopsis.  That’s the key to getting reads on these.

So what the hell is a mediocre television?  Anyways, I like the way this one starts, without wasting any time.  This is the one people were comparing to Sean of the Dead, isn’t it?  That does seem like a fair comparison.

Like Sean of the Dead, though, I wish some of the weapons at our hero’s disposal were a bit more unconventional.  It seems like it’s always guns of some sort.  And I was kind of surprised that the postman went as soon as he did.  I thought he was with us for the duration.  We do get a pitchfork later.  That’s more like it.

And I like that final line.  I envision that much as George did, as our hero strides off to face his next adventure.  I suspect that was your intent, and you achieved it, so good job with that.

But it doesn’t feel complete, somehow.  It’s an episodic tale, with no real conclusion.  That’s my only real complaint with it, though.  The pace was good, and the characters were appealing.  I’ll bet I would have suspected this was yours had I read it earlier.

Was it too vague or just not attention grabbing stuff...? Or a bit of both?

A television set that's mediocre. Like a standard household sized TV... I should've just said that I guess.

I should've put some frying pans, golf clubs and townsfolk battering zombies with baseball bats and cutlery. Ha. I'd been playing a new computer game called Dead Rising... look it up, you'll see where I'm coming from.

Wow, really? Right, that's it... I'm gonna surprise everyone on the next one, I swear... if I enter it that is.

Thanks for the read Bert.
