Incineration

Steve dropped the styrafoam block into the gas can, “Almost done.” he replied, stirring the mixture. Ev turned back to the concession stand. There were two more zombies behind the counter, that left three to be found. And they needed to find and fine the necromancer for performing an unauthorized Raising. She sighed, Oh joy.

Ev reloaded the crossbow as another zombie, a female, hauled herself past the popcorn machine. She watched the flesh fall from the zombie, and very nearly gagged. The thing was qiucker than anticipated, and Ev abandoned the crossbow, reaching for a match and Steve’s second gas can. She tossed gasoline on the zombie, which didn’t even slow it down, then lit the match and threw it. The creature erupted into flame, and Ev moved to grab Steve’s machete. She swung once, the blade slid through the dead flesh, and she jerked up when she hit the backbone, de-spining the monstrosity.

She turned to the last zombie, still feasting on a movie patron, and pulled a guitar string from her kit.
