This week I started a new book called Last Kids on Earth and the Nightmare King. So far Jack and his friends are now living in the parking lot of Joe’s Pizza and inside of Joe’s pizza is a bunch of monsters who are now allies with the humans. And since there are no rules in the Apocalypse they decided to go go-carting. Jack went out real quick but when they got by the fire station they heard humans talking. There were zombies to get past but when they did they discovered that the noise was coming from the radio. Then they heard a bad noise coming from the roof. When they went up to look for it they saw a giant winged wretch. It scared the pants off of Jack and put him in a daze. We will find out what happens next week.
I finished Last Kids on Earth and the Nightmare King so this is what happened in the rest of the book.
The Kids had discovered a radio in the old firehouse that proved there were other humans alive. But Jack worried about losing his friends if they were reunited with their families. Jack is an orphan and June, Quint and Dirk and the Monsters are his family now so he doesn’t want that to change. He decides to make living in the post Apocalypse the most fun so the kids will never want to leave. He even takes them to a Fun Park where they get to ride all the rides for free.
They need an antenna for the radio so they go to Big Al’s Junk Palace to see if they can get one. They are climbing a pile of junk when they discover it is really a sleeping Kraken monster that they name the Scrapken. Fortunately they get an antenna before he chases them out.
Meanwhile Rezzoch, the Evil Devourer is visiting Jack in his dreams showing him what the world would be like if Jack was King and could force his friends to stay. And Rezzoch shows him if Jack does not obey him everyone will be destroyed. Rezzoch is coming to Earth through the King Wretch.
At the amusement park, Jack is attacked by the King Wretch and June, Quint and Dirk save him but they drop the radio. Jack feels bad that the radio is broken but they tell him saving him was more important. They have to get back to town and they have to fight a bunch of wretches on the way. Rezzoch tries to get Jack on his side but Jack says no. Jack is the defender of his friends and he does not want to be their king and will not accept everyone being destroyed. Jack tricks the King Wretch to go to Big Al’s and the Scrapken destroys the King Wretch for waking it up. Rezzoch is destroyed but not forever. He’ll be back.

Recently I started a new book called Last Kids on Earth and the Cosmic Beyond. So far everyone is getting ready for the holidays by making snow gear so they could have fun. As they were having fun they saw a human survivor on a giant beast. The human is a woman with black hair and glasses. She is riding a whiter than snow creature with just one arm. The kids are excited to see another human.
June, Dirk and Quint all want to talk to the human but Jack says to wait. But Quint goes ahead and talks to her. The monster is about to turn Quint into a pancake so Jack goes to his rescue with his special weapon, the Louisville Slicer which is a wooden bat made into a wooden bladed weapon. It’s Jack’s weapon for the Zombie Apocalypse. The monster grabs the Louisville Slicer with big its big slimy tongue and steals it. The monster throws it up and the human catches it. As she catches the weapon, she screams in the language of Rezzoch, the Ancient Devourer. The kids are shocked and afraid and they escape but Jack vows to get his weapon back. You’ll find out if he does next week.

The Sleeping Giant
Once upon a time, there was an evil giant who ate people. One day when he was eating his meal, he accidentally left the bones and some meat behind. One year later he came back to finish his meal only to discover it had turned into a tree on what is now called Earth Day.
Even though this sounds very scary, this is what giants do and he is just a regular giant. He eats people because he’s hungry. He doesn’t make trees from their bones on purpose. It’s just something that happened by accident. Fortunately, he only needs to eat once a year. Unfortunately, when he does eat, he eats thousands of people. But not all of these people become trees, only the ones whose bones he scatters. He eats in random spots but you can always tell where he had his last meal before he fell asleep because a tree grows there.
So every Earth Day people would get eaten and turned into trees. People named him Tree Maker and when Earth Day ends he become a sleeping stone statue again. Hippies come out and leave him offerings so they won’t be eaten and turned into trees. Sadly, they still get eaten, no matter what.
