Friday Flash 55.....





They're coming.....

I can smell em.
The dank stench of month old raw chicken,
with a subtle hint of sandy loam.
I can hear em.
Moaning, hissing, the incessant sound of
dragging that ONE fucking foot!
I can see em.
Ashen, out-stretched arms, slowly plodding.

They're coming.....

(But I'm prepared, Come Get Some BITCHES!!!)




Yes they ARE coming, Get Ready!
If you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55
Please come tell The G-Man
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment......Then BOOK!
So from the Readiest Host from coast to coast....
Have a Kick Ass Week-End!!

    Oh yeah. Gotta love a good zombie kill-o-the-week. But I thought Sept 30 was Zombie Walk.

    HERE is my 55 for this week.

    Ah, I remember spending my money on "The Zombie Survival Guide" for my 16 year old son (he BEGGED me to get it for him... I thought I was NUTS for buying it) You and my son would have a LOT of fun talking about the zombies ... And the Everclear is for the humans or the zombies?

    For a change of pace, read my 55 :) HERE

    Month-old raw chicken! (!!)
    Suddenly vegetarianism doesn't sound so bad after all.

    Either that or a strict all-bacon diet.

    Thanks for another Friday 55!

    that) Good Vivid Story! Thanks.

    Am I the only one who thinks that zombie in the photo is kinda hot in a sexy androgynous undead sort of way?

    Maybe I need to get out more.

    Hi G-man. I know, I've been naughty and neglectful, not visiting or playing for months and months. But now that summer is gone, I'm trying to make my way back! And to prove how much I missed you, I'm playing your way first.

    Hopefully it's just a phase. Don't tell anyone, but Stranger gets a little sentimental here.

    Preparations to "contain" my Center before the contractors land for renovations has messed up my blogging something fierce!

    According to a recent Facebook quiz, I have a 95% chance of surviving the zombie apocalypse.

    You SO know that you want to be in my Zombie Kickass Clan. I am currently taking applications.

    I have also written a 55.

    "Never let a zombie see you sweat."

    Yeah, that's our Zombie Kickass Clan's motto.

    Because, sweat makes them hungry.

    See? This is why I got a 95%.

    G-Man,

    Your current 55 is durn hard to beat.

    But I will offer my current scrawls. Here is my 55:

    I laboured mightily and produced a mouse. Which makes me King Whence is a Louse,my mouse. I sent the mouse to a House and they said, "Yep, it's a mouse, Toulouse, try another house."
    Seems my mice are really lemmings. They race for a cliff edge, Sedge.
