And then it gets really strange (jokes!)

We curl up behind the bathroom door as the heavy tread of an undead clump…clumps its way past. They have been getting better and better at getting in over the past few weeks.

Bella puts it down to practice, but I think that something more insidious might be taking place. Cradling my SWAT -issue flame thrower, I smooth Bella’s hair down, tell her to stay put and creep out of the bathroom.

I sneak up behind the foul creature ever so carefully, almost choking at the revolting miasma that drifts in its wake. I take aim with my flame thrower, and disengage the safety with a slight “snick”.

What is this? It seems to be reacting to the sound. But zombies never react to slight sounds, they are usually more on the deaf side.

The zombie turns around ever so slowly. My finger tightens on the trigger, but I am interested in this unusual zombie, so it earns itself a stay of execution.

“Oh noes! Mai hoomin naituur still in here man. Srsly!” It says, as I pull the trigger with a smile.

    I am just kidding around with this version of the story :-D

    I am going to re-post it with a proper ending.

    Strangely enough, it’s hard for me to decide which continuation I like better. I mean this ending is both funny (love the Srsly!) and brutal, while the other ending…
