#WeWriWa Never Say Die: A Zombie Time Loop Story #zombie #paranormal #apocalyptic #groundhogday

Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors. We each post 8-10 (I really wanted to go for 12, but I restrained myself) sentences. If you recall, Cassy was taking on a whole hoard of zombies.

My cockiness is my demise. I see something red in the distance as a monster bites into the side of my neck and I scream in pain and rage. My glasses are knocked from my head and I fall to my knees, everything going dark. I can’t die, there are too many people counting on me, too much to do. I don’t even know if Heph got the kids out.
***
My legs are wet. Why are my legs wet? I smell salt, and feel a breeze. Are there breezes in hell? I suppose I could be in heaven, but I doubt they’d take me.

  2. Wow, I never expected her to get bitten! Intense indeed and now I can't wait to see what happens next. Well done snippet. On an admin note, I didn't find a link back to the WeWriWa site? Is it just me? Can you add one, please? :) Thanks!

  10. This is a bad situation if ever there was one. I'm intrigued, however, by the shift from the encounter with the zombie to a place with a salt breeze. Is she dreaming? Or was she dreaming about the zombie attack? Can't wait for next week!
