Shaking my head, my mind refocused on something Tobias had said. "What the hell is a zombie?" I asked, still not sure that I even heard them correctly. There was no way in hell there could be zombies on Earth… right?!?
Tobias pointed to the field behind us, and I turned around in Axis' arms to see what he was pointing to. There must have been almost 50 beings just staring at us. They were different shades of purple and blue and seemed to sway back and forth like waves in the sea.
"Those are the zombies," grunted Tobias, his face twisting in a smile. There was clearly a screw loose in his head by the way he was looking at me, his eyes growing bigger. "And since you are here, they'll choose an easy prey and leave us alone. I would thank you for your sacrifice, but this death is nothing more than you deserve."
I cocked my head to the side, and I watched as row after row of the creatures copied my movements. Their eyes never leave mine.
A brief glimpse inside my head.
A reader in Star's Ships asked if she was going to meet up with the zombies from Rebirth in the Apocalypse. At the time, I had no such plans. But I thought it would be perfect to add it in to Ariel's story.
I was also asked if Ariel was ever going to get revenge against all the shitty things that happened to hear on Earth. The question through me for a loop because, in my head, Ariel wanted nothing to do with the Prophet or anyone from the compound. She had left for a reason and there was nothing going to bring her back.
Well, that and her view of religion prevented her from taking justice into her own hands.
Luckily for all of us, she doesn't have to.
And finally. I still remember getting into a discussion with a reader from Charm (Rebirth) that what I was describing weren't zombies becuase they weren't green and didn't die easily. My point was that I had never seen a zombie in real life so who is to say if I am right or wrong.
Clearly, I am right.
But yeah, that conversation still haunts me after all this time.
And if you have read all this, I just want to tell you... from the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything that you do to support me. Writing was always one of those unobtainable dreams that I had. To know that you think I am good enough to actually read makes me so happy.
You are all the best! You comments (the good ones lol) make my day and I look forward to reading them! Please keep supporting me and know just how much I appreciate it!
