Here's the opening to Final Girl 2. Because yes, love in the time of the zombie apocalypse with all the relevant chaos and carnage must continue!
In the end they took a vote on
whether or not to trade Roslyn to the stranger at the gate. They even gave her
a say, demonstrating that democracy was not dead even if civilisation had gone
belly up seven months back when the virus had first struck.
The eight survivors gathered on the school
steps, the weak winter sun doing little to combat the bitter cold. Her marrow
was ice, her teeth chattered. She wanted to wrap her arms around herself,
huddle down into the green school jacket she had purloined out of a student locker. But she didn’t.
Great six...you did an amazing job with painting the scene :)

ReplyDeleteThanks, Tarah!
DeleteUrgh, so they still went ahead and decided to trade her? Grim!
ReplyDeleteTrust me, she'll be better off. And how is she to meet new and interesting people if she doesn't get out of that smelly old school? Have faith, Pippa. There's always the happy ending.
