Were-bie?

by kwatz

“I just saw a werewolf bite a zombie.”

“What did you say?”

“Outside, just now. Werewolf bit a zombie.”

“Right.”

“Seriously.”

“How do you know it was a werewolf?”

“Well, there’s a full moon out tonight. He was covered in hair, looked like Chewbacca. Big pointy teeth. Claws. Standing upright. Definitely not a bear, dog, wolf, or wookiee.”

“And he bit a…zombie?”

“Yeah.”

“How do you know it was a zombie?”

“Rotting flesh, stench of the grave, shuffling feet, head tilted on shoulder. Come on! I can identify zombies. Werewolves too.”

“Jesus. What does a zombie turn into when it gets bitten by a werewolf?”

“Dunno.”

“Well, it doesn’t matter, there’s probably not much left of the zombie by now anyway…”

“Sure there is.”

“What do you mean? You said a werewolf was eating a zombie.”

“No, I said a werewolf bit a zombie.”

“What’s the difference?”

“Well, obviously zombies must not taste very good. The werewolf spat out the bite.”

“That’s disgusting.”

“It sure is. Want to see it?”

“No. Not really.”

    It’s not easy to pull off a pure-dialog piece. I’d say you’ve succeeded.

    This dialog kicked butt, kwatz!

    (But it’s spelled Wookiee)

    Doh! Thanks for the correction. I usually strive for ficlet nirvana, but fortunately I had three extra characters in this one.
