Tell Her No By The Zombies Novels & Stories

she said in a terrified whisper, wrapping her arms around her knees again and making herself as small as possible. “He took me out of the cage to the bedroom and there was a woman’s head in a jar on the bedside table! He said that’s what happened to the last person who lied to him and that whichever one of us couldn’t match our voices to one of my old pageant videos was going to end up the same way. He’s going to kill you!” By the end of her little speech, Lily’s heart was going to beat right out of her chest. So this man wasn’t only a stalker and a kidnapper but a murderer who cut someone’s head off and kept it by his bed?!

"One-shot headshots!" "This isn't a survival game, it's target practice!" Chloe's voice was the most excited. "Darlings! Watch this!" On screen, she raised a sniper rifle and aimed at the nearest zombie. BANG! The zombie's head exploded. Chloe immediately held up her phone for a selfie, the headless corpse in the background. "Perfect shot!" she bragged on the channel. "We should celebrate!" "Celebrate what?" Liam's voice cut in. "Our victory, of course!" Chloe giggled. "These slowpokes are no threat at all! We should have a party!"

I… I just wanted to…" "So, you tried to kill all of us for him?" I demanded, my fury close to its breaking point. I was holding it back, but only barely. "No!" Her head jerked up. "I never wanted to kill you. He said he'd just trap you guys for a bit. I had no idea he'd let the zombies out! And then he abandoned me! I thought he would never do that!"

They could track down anyone who owed money, no matter where. When my parents discovered there were no zombies and no apocalypse, they questioned Giselle. She muttered in disbelief, "Impossible!" Mom hesitated. "Why don't we go outside and see for ourselves?" Giselle immediately blocked her. "No, the streets are full of zombies. If you get bitten, there's no surviving it!" They spent another two days holed up inside, and then the debt collectors finally showed. Giselle had chosen a front door fit for a zombie apocalypse. It was so sturdy that no matter what the collectors tried, they couldn't break in. All they could do was curse and walk away.

The fact that her efforts were lasting an entire day was already rare. Normally, if she backed down once and I didn't respond, she would switch to getting mad, and then it'd be my turn to soothe her. But today, all I could think about was whether I'd be chosen for the overseas training program, so I only gave her half-hearted replies. When we finally arrived, I realized she had taken me to an observatory. She grabbed my hand, excited. "I hear there'll be a meteor shower tonight. This is the best place to see it. When I was little, Ron and I used to—"

She never finished. Thick blood splashed across half her face. Bright red flooded her eyes. She wiped at them and shrieked, "Who the hell threw water at me?!" A pale face floated up in front of her, nose twitching like it caught fresh meat. "Ahhhh—!" The crowd blew apart. A mutated zombie had slipped in and was ripping through people, biting anything it could reach. Bella grabbed Dylan and bolted for higher ground, blowing the whistle at her chest.

Her curses stopped abruptly because the lifeboat suddenly tilted violently. A horde of zombies grabbed the boat from underwater! "Ah! Get away! Don't touch me!" Winnie kicked and struggled frantically at the rotting arms, but to no avail. Hans desperately struck the zombies with the oars, pleadingly looking at me. "Clarissa! Please! For the sake of our years together..." I silently watched them struggle, feeling calm. My voice was soft, yet each word pierced the heart, "Hans, do you know that you pushed me into a horde of zombies in my past life?"

They tried to attack each other again but I stopped them. "Dad, tell her to help me." That cute little lashes moving up and down. How do you say no to that? "Seriously Dad where did you get her from?" Chloe yells. "An hospital room, now cut it out." Still trying to separate them. "Dad, my rockets aren't going to build itself." Chloe's little voice was heard. I looked at Loren as I am helpless, I don't know how to settle this. "You are the bad guy now." My wife whispered.

He managed to kill her when she attacked him, but he was bitten and turned. The story was such a tragic one that Kendra could barely contain her grief and had to end their visit. Once outside, she allowed the tears to flow until she had none left. Then, she returned to the house and slid back into bed to get the comfort that she needed by snuggling close to her husband. It took some time, but she eventually fell back asleep. When she awoke, she didn’t tell him of her visit with the intelligent zombie because she didn’t trust herself not to be overwhelmed by grief for those children once again.

Then, with hesitancy, she added, “She killed Mutt and Sophia.” Baelil’s face went scarlet as his eyes squinted with rage. “How?” “I was deep in zombie land. I had them with me for protection to warn me of any zombies approaching. She was out hunting and, well…” “She was hunting in zombie territory?” he asked with surprise.
