Welcome back everyone. Here ends this story. The next AU shall be based off of "The Lost World" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle but it won't be a carbon copy. Enjoy and review.
Separating Myth from Reality
As it turned out, Tina's little story was the one that saved A. Nigma News. In fact, it was such a success that all who read what came from MWF news soon abandoned the company and it went bankrupt not long after and completely forgotten by the time Francois Duvalier's son Jean-Claude had been run out of Haiti in 1986, twelve years later.
A week after, Tina spoke with Basil Hagen, at the time recovering from a stabbing that may or may not have accidental. At his house, a rather half-impressive looking building, Basil sat opposite of Tina in his writing room.
"So, how was your visit?" asked Basil.
"Fine." Replied Tina. "But there is something I found strange about the zombie I saw."
"Oh, and what's that?"
"I always thought that zombies were doddering corses and infective brawn eaters." Stated Tina.
"Was that an imitation of how I sometimes talk?" asked Basil. Tina nodded in reply. "That's not bad but you are thinking of the zombies in those films by that idiot George A. Romero. A zombie is in fact a drugged person, a person who is drugged periodically by a… 'magician' and should that magician die and someone not replace them then eventually the zombie will recover and once more be a normal person."
"I suppose the walking dead thing comes from them having been put in a death-like state." Commented Tina.
"There you go!" Basil gave a chuckle. "One must learn to separate myth from reality."
"So how is Venus?" asked Tina.
"Gravid." Replied Basil.
"Gravid?" asked Tina.
"Parturient."
"I'd like something less technical." Commented Tina.
"Very well. She is expectant. I am to be a father."
