To Survive the Beginning

In prehistoric times, a father and son have left the safety of their cave to hunt for their next meal. Passing through a burial ground, they are besieged by a sudden storm of stones falling from the sky. But finding shelter from the bizarre storm turns out to be the least of their worries as they struggle to protect their small clan from the terror of the walking dead.

This story, previously published in the anthology Ante Mortem from Belfire Press, stands as a chilling example of Gina Ranalli's highly praised short fiction.
