A certain PM sent yesterday summoned up the living dead. I'll say no more. Ha ha ha...
Yes, I was afraid I had written myself into a corner.
I have another update but it's not as good and it's very short, 500 words or so.
As the four stood baffled at the sudden appearance of all of the people they knew so much about, but were total strangers to them. But their appearance wasn’t all that sudden, the group just hadn’t noticed them emerging.
“SamandPJandClemalldied” Amber said, shaking.
“Yes, yes they did.” Ennui stopped and thought or a second “Char did you do anything strange or did you notice odd things happening?” He turned and asked the cowering Char.
“No,” she said “I just killed them and left them for dead, I don’t think I even looked at them much after I had killed them” She looked smug until she looked again at the advancing zombies and shrank behind Dante, Antenora and Ennui. Amber was already hiding.
“Don’t think you are hiding behind us” Dante said curtly
“What?” Amber said, “Oh” as she realised Dante was looking past her, at Char who was shaking.
“You got yourself into this mess and now you get yourself, and all of us out of it.” Antenora said calmly but with a trace of concern in her voice.
The four moved away, and Amber decided to come out of hiding and stand facing the zombies. She still stood too close to Ennui for it to be normal. But it wasn’t normal; Char wasn’t expecting this, the dead stay dead in her opinion.
“I took the time to kill them; they could at least be polite enough to stay dead, and not to come after me.” She thought, annoyed, but more scared as she had a crowd of approaching zombies mumbling her name.
Ashley managed to break free of the zombies grip, but she tripped and just about managed to crawl over to Char, who was closest.
“Thanks for helping, I really appreciate it” Ashley said, irritated, but relieved.
“Sorry, but I’m under rather a lot of stress at the moment, it’s not everyday that I’m chased by the living dead” Char said, her voice rising into unnaturally high pitches.
“You, stressed? Think about me, it’s not everyday I’m held hostage by the living dead.” Ashley shrieked at Char.
“Good point” Char said, and she looked around nervously at the zombies.
At this point Amber yawned. She looked surprised as she wasn’t bored.
“What’s the matter, are you bored?” Ennui asked
“No I think I’m just tired, it’s been days since I’ve had any sleep” Amber replied suppressing another yawn.
“Now you say that, I’m quite hungry, the last food I had was at the airport and I wasn’t sure what it was.” Ennui said
“I think I need a shower” Dante said, “My hair is starting to get all matted”
“And I need to change my clothes” Antenora said “It’s been days since I left my house”
From the other side of the plane Ashley called out
“Anyone know where the toilet is?”
One of the zombies coughed and said in an obviously annoyed tone
“Char.”
“Oh yeah, maybe we should worry about this first” Ennui said.
