Food Trucks are Coming!

As the city was overrun by zombies, the food trucks became an easy target. The scent of fresh food drew the undead like moths to a flame. The once bustling streets were now littered with overturned food trucks and debris. The lucky ones had managed to escape, but many were not so fortunate. The sound of sizzling meat and frying oil was replaced with the sickening squelch of rotting flesh and bones crunching. It was a reminder that in a zombie apocalypse, even the simple pleasure of a hot meal was a luxury few could afford.
