Jeez, your description of the elderly woman zombie in the flowered print dress, of what her body looked like, was more ghastly than the fact of her Zombie-hood to me, as a woman who happens to be an “aging hippie”!
Your writing is haunting, hope to read more.

I found the movie I wrote about: http://www.fantasiafest.com/2008/en/films/film_detail.php?id=262
It’s called I Love Sarah Jane.

Hi, yesterday, I watched the trailer of many movies that will be presented at the Fantasia fest in Montreal, and some of the images reminded me of this story. A young boy, riding his bike, carrying a bow on his back and killing zombies with it. I can’t find the name of the moovie, but I’ll post it as soon as I find it.

This story is wonderful. There is a sense of dread and quiet resolve in young Brian. The gore and violence are used as a backdrop to the story instead of the meat and potatoes. Well done.

Okay, now here is real storytelling. A lead character I care about, mood and atmosphere that you can feel in your gut, the sense of tragedy- the ending was brilliant. It avoided the Night of the Living Dead “last survivor shot” cliche yet also avoided the young warrior going off to his next battle cliche- instead, we have a kid who is confused, scared, tough, a little crazy and very realistic. Well done. I look forward to seeing this story in the World War Z short story collection when it is professionally published.

Really scary! I would love to read more like this. You should consider an anthology of tales set in this world. I know I’d buy it!
