It was just past twelve noon on a cold 18th of December day as Patrick Michaels sat in the waiting area of terminal 3 without moving.

His head was slightly tilted back resting on the blue textured wall behind his chair and the fixed stare of his dark brown eyes appeared to look down the prominent ridge line of his nose.

Zombie Apocalypse Research Paper
