The stairs led ever upward. Now the girl needed rest. She drowsed beneath the shaded waystation, her battle against the evil within draining strength and resolve. Reaper could spare her a few minutes, but then they must move. It would be hard to defend this spot.
She moaned softly in her sleep. Reaper chuckled wryly at the risk, the hopelessness of trying to save her, the evil insanity of a ruined world turned upside down by zombies and their controlling hive mind. Young and pretty in sleep, still it was time to wake her.
He didn’t even know her name.

Aloha,

Doug! Doug! come in Doug…..
Code red, code red…..
I’m getting drawn in deeper & deeper by these characters and the drama of the chase.
Freaky. I love where this could be going. Got a longer story in mind?
Thanks Shirley! Right now just going from prompt to prompt.
Another Zombie hit! Fun story.
You are really drawing me into your story about Reaper and the girl and the zombies! I like this one best of all the episodes I’ve read – not sure if it’s your best or if I just like it because I’m getting a clearer picture of their problems; but who cares?
Are you thinking of making a novel based on these stories? It could be very interesting, I think!
i hate to wake someone when their body needs the rest. well done.
Young and pretty in sleep? Damn Reaper gets all the hot babes!
Okay, what’s going to happen next?
she is a bit high maintenance in that she may at any time turn and feast on his heart. But still — anything for the hero’s reward!
thanks for commenting — bw
I’m enjoying the developing story of Reaper and the girl – I’ll be sure to keep up with it. I want to know more about what’s going on in this place, and this hive mind zombie thing going on. Nice job!
Yay another Zombie tidbit and well done I hope she gets a name though.
I am number 44 this week
thanks Yaral, my inner child is itching for a big zombie rumble so stay tuned!
I will definitely be looking for more zombies
( laughing ) just what I needed to hear!
^.^
I think she’s done pretty well to survive this long–my guess is that she has a future….
yep, one hundred words at a time she creeps toward destiny!
Maybe it’s the romance writer in me, but I want him to save her so that there will be a love connection. Nicely done.
Every hero needs someone to save, that is true. What if he saves her, and she doesn’t like him?
I guess my inner romantic will survive.
they’ll find a way…. have hope! ( laughing )
Liking this Reaper more and more!
Damn zombies! Can’t take them anywhere, and they’re everywhere and it it’s not just them it’s vampires, werewolves, shifters, witches. Monsters everywhere. What’s a girl to do? Ron
thanks — I guess she just has to trust her hero is up to the task! Appreciate your stopping by
Nicely written. I am here: http://readinpleasure.wordpress.com/2012/09/28/fridayfictioneers-my-dream/
thanks for stopping by
I hope he saves her, she sounds far to cute to be a zombie!
thanks! maybe she’s wanted dead or alive!
Bill, at this rate you’ll be able to tie your FF stories together into a novel. Good job of building tension.
I’m late this week at #27
thanks! I am always glad when you stop by
Nicely woven into the larger piece Bill. I’m kind of getting to like Reaper. ‘Chuckled wryly’ was a great ‘show’ phrase for defining his character.
Oh those naughty zombies and their controlling hive mind! Hope he manages to save her regardless. My story’s here today http://anneorchardwriter.wordpress.com/2012/09/28/friday-fictioneers-jungle-escape/
