I quite enjoyed this

A zombie survival dream.
Amusingly enough it began, for us, at timpview. None of you were there, but marc ricks was, as well as ryan merril and others we knew. We had heard the horrible news and held a meeting to decide how to prepare for the coming onslaught. They asked for anyone with military experience to help organize, but i didn't offer, later i tried to but it was too late. It was an overnight party at timpview, we had heard the news there, and somehow the festive mood was rather dampened by the impending zombie bloodbath. People were just talking somberly, i was a bit anti-social as i tried to plan my fight and escape. I thought i had a pretty good chance to stay alive but i was caught off guard when a flaming bus loaded with people (or zombies) came hurtling down the school hallway. I ran outside to escape the crash and possible carnage. Outside there was a squad of soldiers moving through in combat formation. I envied their guns as I returned inside to collect my things: my coat, a bottle of water, a book (Lovecraft I think), a light, some gloves, and my improvised weapon, a stick with a bit of metal at one end. May as well have been a board with a nail in it. As i returned outside it seemed the military had mopped up, but i knew it wouldn't stay that way with the number of recently deceased i left inside. I started running to a quieter neighborhood and ran into marc ricks. He was armed no better than myself. We began checking houses and trying to warn the living, but sadly, as we told the first family we found of the nightmarish reality they were now living in, I awoke.

a story for you, from the wee one.

This picture has nothing to do with it, but I wanted to put this up there, and now, here's a story written by the little one.

The cat and the forest.

There once was a cat, and one day his owners abandoned him from the city in which they lived. The closest place to the city was a forest. The forest was called Vermont of the Dead. The cat had no choice so she made her journey. Just at the opening at the front of the forest she spotted something. Something wet, something slimy, something smelly was approaching out of the darkness. The cat made a run. The thing made a piercing scream and ran after the cat. Finally she found a safe place to hide. The creature was gone, but in the darkness was... a mother cat. She saw the kitten and ran to her, and they lived happily ever after. The end. Posted by Picasa
