The woods are hauntingly beautiful at night. Perhaps it's foolish to be out alone in these dangerous times. Probably, but zombies move slowly, are noisy, and don't look up. So I'm sitting safely in my favourite tree, high above their heads, watching to see where they end up. The Council won't be happy when they learn where I've been. Nevertheless, my intel means they will know exactly where to do a sweep with the flame-throwers tomorrow. The sooner we rid ourselves of these dangerous, disgusting creatures, the sooner we can leave the barricaded shopping mall and return to our homes.

It's funny what comes into your mind at 2 am, it almost, sometimes, sort of, makes sense :)

For some reason this reminds me of The War of the Worlds, by H.G. Wells (which I thoroughly enjoyed when I read it in my youth). Thank you, Kate.

Well, I am flattered at the comparison dear Dee, thank you.

Kate, I always have an irrational fear that zombies might actually exist. Perhaps I've watched or read too many horror movies/stories, including yours.

I am so sorry to have added to your fears, but don't worry, if you see any coming your way, just climb a tree :) Comments are closed.
