Little Sister
This was here and now.
She looked up from her wavering reflection in the stream, turned to Alex with a smile . . .
And a dead woman broke out of the thicket of willows and lunged at her.
Svetlana tried to defend herself, raising her arms to protect her face, but the mertvez sunk her teeth into her neck. A spray of hot blood drenched both of them. The attack happened so suddenly that Alex had been paralyzed by surprise but now he turned against the dead woman, beating her over the head with his crutch. She fell but like any other mertvez, a former person, being already dead, she was not easy to kill. Her face was reduced to bloody pulp before she subsided on the ground in an ungainly heap.
