Hope you don’t mind the sequel, couldn’t resist a subversion of the noble bullet.

Awesome description of that fateful moment in the zombie story when infection takes its horribly delayed toll.

I haven’t looked into the challenge this is entered in yet, I clicked because, well, Zombies :) And I love it! The last line in particular was very striking and gave that perfect tinge of desolation, both in the atmosphere and in Chris. Well done!

I was just wondering how you started out on here, and the answer is: Awesomely!

Found this via MH’s comment in my feed. This is awesome! I prefer “leaned” instead of “leant,” but that is just a cultural thing. Otherwise, this scene is perfectly described. A+

Aw thanks guys. This is one of my first pieces and I have to admit, I’m not all that fond of it. But I’m glad you all enjoyed it, enough to give it 5 out of 5! Thanks again :)
