Zombies 2012 single work short story fantasy
— Appears in: Wet Ink , no. 27 2012; (p. 2-4)
'Their fingernails are broken and dirty. Their hair is greasy and lank and long. We must not get too close for the lice. Their eyes are tired and bloodshot. Their clothes wear grey rags that hang from their wasted bodies in limp tatters. Some don't wear coats. Some don't wear shoes. They have putrid sores and purple scars and bruises that never fade. They moan all the time. We try not to listen. They stink of piss and smoke and damp. They do not work or play. They do not rest. They are not like us. Ellie says they never were.' (Author's abstract)
