He's My Man

I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING!

Based on the movie Land Of The Dead

I crouched down next to my boyfriend, Riley, and looked over the white picket fence at the gas station. Zombies walked or more like wobbled around. A black zombie came out of the gas station in uniform and humbled over to a gas pump.

"They're trying to be us." I whispered.

"No, they used to be us." Riley whispered back to me. "They're just learning how to be us again." He held up a pair of binoculars to his eyes and checked out the perimeter of the gas station.

"No way, some germ or virus got those things up and walking, but there's a big difference between us and them."

"Which is?"

"They're dead." The black zombie pulled the gas hose out of the pump and waved it around. "It's like they're pretending to be alive."

"Is that what they're doing?" Riley asked me, dropping his binoculars. "Pretending to be alive?" The black zombie looked around before landing his cold dark dead eyes on us.

"Oh, fuck." I whispered.

"He knows we're here." The zombie turned his head and grunted at another zombie. "Christ, it's like he's talking to them." Riley said as we watched the zombie stop and look at the black one. The zombie started to walk towards us. "Let's go, baby."

"Right behind you, Rye." We got up and began to walk towards base.
