Zombies'n'S**t Ep. 11

The Living and the Dead Pt. 2

I filled my mouth with Dress Lady calf.  Tendons snapped and blood spurted as she screamed and fell over.  She started thrashing desperately, so a flailing foot found my head.  I jerked back in mild surprise, my grip loosening.  She peeled away and started desperately dragging herself away.  I was relentless.  I picked myself up and moved to stand over her.  She kicked out at my knee.  I heard it snap and felt my weight pitch to the side and forward.  I landed on top of her, her mouth immediately next to my ear.

All the better for you to rupture my eardrum, my dear.

God, this woman could scream.  Her hands forced me up as I snapped at her.  Ruff!  I thought to myself, working hard to not smile.  Suddenly, somebody kicked my ribs and forced me off her.  A man stood above me with a shotgun pointed at my face.

Not again.

Pretty sure this was going to suck.

Before he pulled the trigger, another zombie lurched at him and they struggled briefly before he pushed the other away.  Hey, I might actually get out of this without about a bajillion and a half pellets to rattle in my skull for the next week.  I started to move as the Normie pitched the other guy away and shot him.  The roar of the shotgun was louder than the Dress Ladys' scream.  He furiously pumped the action and swiveled it back to me.

I guess not.

My fists tightened as he yanked the trigger.

Nothing happened.

HOT DAMN!

I reached up and used the gun to haul myself to him.  The idiot didn't even think to let go of the gun.  Before you could say justifiable homicide, I was in his face, drooling and snarling.  He finally recoiled and let go of the gun.  I followed him as he picked up the lady and hauled her up the stairs the kids had disappeared up.  I was hot on their heels the whole way up.  He was struggling to carry her up the stairs with me slavering after them.  In all the excitement, I didn't realize that I was the only one that followed them up.

When I reached the top, they flung open a door and moved out of my sight.  I got to the door before it closed and flung it open.  I took one step in.

Then I saw stars.

Lotss of prety starsch.

Someone had hit me in the head with something.  Not hard enough to crush my skull, but still.  Ow.  So there I was, looking at the concrete as someone turned me over and stood above me with a table leg.  One of those heavy wooden ones they have on those fancy mahogany tables.  Before he could swing it down to "kill" me, someone else stopped him with a word.  They carried on a brief and strained conversation as quiet as they could.  See, I was distracted by the pretty stars, so I couldn't tell you what they said.

When I finally started to recover, I took in more detail.  They had stopped talking and someone else was walking cautiously towards me out of the darkness.  By the way, the room- it was dark.  I could see the silhouettes of the children and a few adults against the far wall.  The person walking towards me had duct tape and some heavy rope.

Aw, s**t.

The guy above me had me pinned, arms to the side.  I know!  Right when he releases me, I'll start biting, kicking and moaning loudly!  Yeah!

The other person got close enough and I felt the pressure on me ease slightly.  This is it!

Or not.  Duct tape went on first.  Then another knock on the noggin.  Seriously, have you ever just stopped and looked at the pretty stars?

It's important to appreciate the little things in life.

MMh?  What?  Oh, yeah!  So they tied me up and dragged my a*s to the other corner and tied me to something heavy.

The guy that brained me the first time walked over to me.  I glared blearily up at him and tried growling past the tape.  I saw him pull back the leg again.  Then:

Prety starsch

Oh snap they know something's not right with him??!! That's got to be it who continuously knocks out/whacks a zombie? Kill or subdue for testing maybe but to make him see stars a couple of time and it not be lethal...best episode yet!!

"before you could say justifiable homicide". Interesting turn of events. I wonder the reaction of the Normies if they discover John can think. Or perhaps they know John. Though the chances seem low.

Rest assured, I did read your reviews. Gotta say, was taken aback that you actually read all of these. I post them late Friday/Saturday early morning, so you will get to deal with that now. I can not send you the read request if you want. Going back, I will take your suggestions on. This is great! I need someone to curb the insanity that is my writing style! I fancy myself a storyteller, but that doesn't make me a good writer. Also, these are done almost entirely for my own amusement, so the humor will not always be great, but rest assured, I find it hilarious. Not that you care, I'm sure. One last thing before I finish this overlong response: THANK GOD FOR THE BOOK/CHAPTERS SUGGESTION! I did not think of that- I am too thick to think of that, you understand. Makes it easier on everyone! Thank you!
