Zombies'n'S**t Ep. 4

Well, I now have about an hour in which to be bored.  I looked at my watch.  It was about-wait....WHAT THE HELL?!

Apparently, I have a watch.

Funny the things you don't notice when you don't have nerve endings that work.  Anyways, it was about noon.  I looked up at the sun.  You know, you learn something every day.  For example, staring at the sun, yeah- it hurts.  So I stopped doing that. 

I don't die, but I can still feel pain. I settled into the chair I was in and closed my eyes.  I rested like that for a while, just listening to those around me.  All of the conversation seemed to come back to the attack.  The more I heard, the more my stomach dropped.

But hey, not literally I-

D****t. I spoke too soon.

Picking up my stomach, I stood and made my way to the burrito stand.  I still had plenty of time, but it never hurt to be early,  Now, late.....well, we know how that turns out.  Freakin' pianos. I had to fight the crowd again all the way there. When I finally got there. Markel, the owner of the Rotting Burrito, looked up at me. "Well now, Johnny boy! Been a while since you graced my fine establishment!" I looked dubiously at the bloodstains on the counter. "When exactly was your stand clean, Markel?" If looks could kill....well, I'd still be dead, but you know what I mean.  "Before someone died on it and definitely before I gut you on it."

"Easy, I was just commenting on the stains," he reached under the counter.  "And I was just gonna bleed you out and serve your spoiled innards as an appetizer."

Markel was a crotchety old fart.

I think the humor is fine not every chapter can be equally comedic gold so if one can be more so then power to it?!

The second to last paragraph. It seems to me John says "commenting on the stains", but Markel says "I was just gonna bleed you". This could be clearer.

There is more humorous dialogue in this than usual. Consider spreading out the humor for more balance.
