Six Sentence Sunday...


Welcome to another Six Sentence Sunday! Some happy time news today, my book has been given a release date and a new title. 1st of October and ‘Flesh’, respectively. This one is my novel length tale of life after the Zombie apocalypse as opposed to the short and novella I’ve been sharing with you. You can find the first chapter on the tab just above if you’d like a taste. One day I’ll get back to writing about things non-zombie, but that day is not today.

So, back to the standoff from last week as our hero and heroine face each other down the length of their guns. She just commented that it looked like they had a failure to communicate...


   “I’d say it was closer to a Mexican standoff.” A neatly trimmed beard covered half his face making reading him a problem. He was tall, well built; she couldn’t have over-powered him in days of yore. Today it was right out.
   No way was she putting down the gun.
   “Those don’t tend to end well in movies,” she said.

  2. If he's talking back it means he's not a zombie right? :-)

  3. Maybe she's met her match, assuming he isn't a zombie.
