Zombie Crawl- SaladStyle!
Dec. 21st, 2014 08:26 pmMy first SaladFic!
lemme know with any critiques!
Until you've seen a mindless zombie with your friend’s features, you've never really felt fear.
I was walking around the Community Center and turned the corner into the banner hall. After seeing the banner associated with the name that I was looking for, I continued through to the tree farm. There I was, blissfully chopping down a massive spruce when I heard someone shuffling around at the bottom of my makeshift staircase in the tree. Actually, more than just a someone. There were a lot of people down there. I leapt down causally, expecting two or three people. What I found through, was not that.
My friends, dead, decaying and walking about. Even Shawn, who had died and turned ages ago had finally lost his humanity. Lioness and Ice were the next that I recognized, or as much as I could with missing limbs and putrefying flesh. I clutched the leaves, lips pressed to together, trying not to vomit at the stench.
There was a small break in the pack, so I leapt out of the tree, taking my chance running. I hit the ground harder than I anticipated. I looked back to see Tuan and Pseudo, each missing half of their beautiful faces. I ran, getting a few steps before running into two more. They were still holding hands, probably left over from when they died and turned. Ratta and Alice groaned, each reaching for my shoulders.
I drew my sword, ready to fight. Raising it slowly, hesitant to kill my friends, even as dead as they are. I saw their eyes dart to the sword, then hungrily back to me. I turned, ready to run, only to see the rest of the pack behind me. I heard a quiet giggle. Alice, laughing at my plight.
The giggle continued around the pack, leaving me utterly confused. Zombies don’t laugh. Scott came through the crowd and put his arm around my shoulders. Laughing, he said, “Didn’t you see the notice? Zombie crawl tonight, to be started at my place.” Everyone laughing, they dispersed, this time with me as dinner.

Alice and Kerry, yes. (But Ratta is D.I.D. and Kerry is an alt... Eh, okay it works barely)
