Their putrid odour filled the air. They felt she was there, taking cover behind the wall. They advanced, their mechanic gait slow and assured. They knew she couldn't escape.
She risked a little peep to where her husband was crouching. They got separated earlier. He was safe, away from the threat.
She smiled fondly. Her dear beloved husband, always kind, reliable, always saying he would die for her.
Well, now was the time to prove it. She picked a pebble and threw it in his direction.
The zombies made a swift U-turn while she made her dash to safety.

    This is my first ever zombies story. Shame I have only one husband to save me. Next time I'll have to rely on my wits...

    What a bitch!!! (The woman in the story, not you!!!) Although to be fair, if he said he'd die for her...fair play. As a lover of zombie tales, this was fab. Nice evil twist in the tale. Great work!
