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

Another Sunday, another chance to read fantastic snippets from the Weekend Writing Warriors. If you've been enjoying Never Say Die, I'd like to point you at Creatures, a paranormal boxed set. It includes my newest release, Darkness of Light, as well as 20 other stories for only 99 cents!
Now, back to Cassy. Picking up with the last line of the last snippet:

“Yeah, well, it’s a pain in the ass when you don’t have reliable water and it gets caught in everything.” Absolutely true. After pulling most of a bush out of it the first night running from my rabid parents, I tamed it back. Then I got thrown into a pool of blood and wasn’t able to wash for two days. “That’s why I cut it off six months ago.”
“Six months ago you were asking Julie to braid your hair,” My mother’s brow is knit in confusion and I’m starting to feel the same.
“Yeah, if this really was July of ‘fifteen.” 2015, the year everything ended. 2016, the year those of us left tried to make a beginning.
“But…it is.” The sun gleams off the top of my father’s head and I wonder why heaven wouldn’t give him back his hair.

It's all about hair. No, it really isn't, but you'd get that impression from this snippet! You can purchase Never Say Die on most platforms or in paperback:

  1. I was confused at the beginning then realized she was talking about her hair. I can imagine what she feels like. I hate dirty hair.

  2. I wonder how long it's going to take her to realize she's in this time loop. I'd be totally confused in her situation.

  3. Although GroundHog day is one of my favourite movies - I sure wouldn't want to be caught in a time like he was or Cassy is. It must be horrible.

  6. Seems like the light bulb is about to go on, but I'm sure "time loop" isn't the first thing to jump to mind. I feel her pain.

  9. Great snippet and I can imagine how confusing this time loop is for her, she still doesn't get it and I can understand why, it's such a strange concept.

  11. She's getting a sense of what happened, though she's still a bit lost.
    I like the line about heaven giving her dad his hair back! :)

  12. All of us have a sense of deja vu at times, but this would be like an overdose.
