Zombies'n'S**t Ep. 48

Phantom Limbs

Sophia looked at me confused, "What do you mean?"

I shifted slightly to look around, "Well, I was just thinking this place looked like a hair salon.  But the thing is, that was an impulsive thought.  I don't actually know what a hair salon is."

She paused for a second, "Well, it's a place where people go to get their hair styled."

I looked back at her and frowned, "Why?"

Sophia smiled sadly, "You really don't remember anything before you died, do you?"

I felt irritation and a pang of pain rise in me along with a nasty retort.  I fought it down and said, "No.  Just flashes of memories that don't even feel like mine.  I see them as if they are someone elses' memories."

She walked over and put a hand on my shoulder.

Suddenly, a figure lurched out of the doorway and staggered towards Sophia.  She yelped and jumped back.  The figure growled.

I blinked.

The figure swiped at Sophia again and again.  She stayed just out of reach.  I grabbed something and casually walked forward.  Sophia was focused intently on dodging the figures' swipes.  I tapped it lightly on a shoulder.  When it turned around, I grinned, "Hi, mittens!" and smashed a brick against its head.

Author's Note

Wow. What a hiatus, huh? Sorry folks who might be even remotely interested in this. Lost a job, got another and lost it too. Been a bit distracted.
