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

How is your Sunday? Hope you are enjoying a trip to all the Weekend Writing Warriors! I'm continuing Never Say Die. If you recall, Cassy was bitten and then mysteriously found herself on a beach.

Opening my eyes, I prepare for the worst.
Wait a minute. I’ve been here before, months ago, before the incident, before the virus turned most of us into monsters. Why am I here?
I start to get up and realize I’m wearing the same dress I wore a lifetime ago, and my dark hair is long, hanging in waves over my shoulder. I’m also wearing my contact lenses. How long since I had a pair of those? This is some dream. Heading back down the path that had brought me here so long ago, I find my parents — my dead parents.
“Mom?” I ask, choking on the word, “Dad?”

  2. Whoa I would hate to be her. Seeing dead relatives right before your eyes would be horrible. Awesome snippet though

  6. I'm not sure being with her dead parents is a good thing...

  7. Waking up like this is disturbing enough, but adding her dead parents really ups the ante.

  8. Well, it could be a dream. It could be time travel (back from the future), or it could be a premonition. Or something entirely other. Lots of great possibilities with this snippet! Can't wait to find out!

  11. You had me at the tags in your title - apocalyptic and groundhog - 2 words never been put side by side before.
    I get why groundhog - a favourite movie. Good snippet - a hard place to be - reliving that and knowing parents were really dead. Tweeted.

  12. Ooh, I like the premise of this, Kimmydonn! And it's very well-written. I can see myself getting sucked into this story.

    Just bought it on Amazon. Not sure when I'll get to it. I'm writing now, and I don't tend to read books by others when I'm writing. :-)

  14. How awful. Waking up and remembering the horror. Calling out for her parents is so poignant. Great snippet.

  15. Is she really dreaming and if so why? Delirious?
