As a guy who works for an insurance company, my first thought was, "Hey, maybe it would actually be more interesting if we had to cover the apocalypse and zombies." My second though was, "No. It would still boil down to calculating Policy Premium based on the Kentucky Apocalypse Coverage county and city tax factors."

Great short story, I especially liked the super hero names!

Sure. Not many in sci-fi as a whole other than the most famous one- Admiral James Kirk.

"Admiral" Zombie, huh? Does she get around in a battleship?

Maybe she got the grenade from General Hand Grenade (whom the Canadian rock group Trooper wrote about back in the 1970s)?

Best wishes during the holidays.

I figure there's lot of superhero and villain captains around, why not step up a rank or two. Happy holidays to you as well!
