Mother Russia by Jeff McComsey

If there is ever a zombie outbreak which threatens to consume the entire world, I want myself in a tall, sturdy bell tower, with a sniper rifle, enough ammunition, and of course, food and water to last for some time. Some books also would be good. As for a pass time, there would be a legion of disposable moving targets around to keep my mind away from the impending existential dread, loneliness and terror.
That's precisely what a former ballot dancer turned ace sniper Svetlana is up to, when the whole world turned to shit, following a zombie outbreak. That is until her monotonous life is interrupted by an orphan boy, a dog, and a former Nazi general.
The story, which was too short, delivered on action, as well as characters which we are invested in. But I really wish this premise and dynamics was explored further.
