Why didn’t we bring more ammunition? I’m definitely finding reloads before we head back. This city is hardly stripped at all. We aren’t here for supplies but people.
The graffiti on the wall is fresh, “We are inside.” Smart kids; the meat sacks don’t have enough sense to read, and even if they do make out the words, they don’t understand. Other kids, like Heph and me, we can read just fine.
I shiver slightly in the cold, but the tension I have coiled in muscles, ready to pounce, is keeping me warm. The icy wind ruffles my short spiky hair, and I add hats and scarves to the shopping list when we have the kids and can raid the town. What is taking Heph so long, anyway?
You can purchase Never Say Die on most platforms or in paperback:
Amazon, Nook, Kobo, iBooks, paper.
Very intriguing! I wonder what Heph encountered.
ReplyDeleteShe's in deep trouble and I want her to get the heck out of there.
ReplyDeleteVery tense excerpt and I'm not sure she understands how bad the situation is (or else she's trying not to admit it to herself). Really an effective snippet!
ReplyDeleteI like how the zombie's are called meat sacks! I hope Heph is okay...
ReplyDeleteShe seems pretty sure of herself, though I'm wondering why Heph is delayed too!
ReplyDeleteMeat sacks is a very unforgettable epithet, Kimberly. I love it! I suspect Heph is in trouble!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kim about meat sacks -- it's a great invention.
ReplyDeleteMeat sacks is very descriptive. I like it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Siren X Star explained what "meat sacks" are. I didn't have a clue.
ReplyDeleteOoh, very visual snippet this, I'd hate to be in her shoes!
ReplyDeleteSmart enough to ask for help... but are their rescuers smart enough to save them? Exciting snippet!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I wonder what's taking her, too... :)
ReplyDeleteHigh interest and vivid details here. Great snippet.
