Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.
Out of Fiction
Out from the brush at the left side of the road walked a figure. It was a man but one who did not seem to be aware that there was two other people on the path. His eyes were wide and they looked as if they were the eyes of one dead. He breathed yet the state of his eyes made it hard to interpret whether he was of the living or the dead.
As the sunset the moon rose. A full moon! Thus as William Seabrook once saw a zombie walking through the sugarcane by the light of the full moon, now did Tina Kwee and Cam Martinez see a zombie cross a path by the light of the full moon.
Alas, it did not immediately dawn on Tina was she was looking upon. She thought she was looking upon some sleepwalker.
"Sir?" she asked. "Wake up!"
"Wake up?" asked Cam, surprised at what she was saying. "Tina, don't you know what this is?"
"Please don't say this is a zombie." Groaned Tina. She just refused to believe such a thing could be real. They were things of fiction!
"I don't have too." Commented Cam. "You already have."
"I have not!"
"But you have!" corrected Cam. "In order to say 'Please don't say this is a zombie' you had to say 'this is a zombie' and therefore you have said 'this is a zombie.'"
"But zombies are things out of fiction!" exclaimed Tina. "They can't be real!"
"Do you doubt your eyes?" asked Cam.
"No and I'm not about to start quoting Charles Dickens like Basil would!" The Dickens that Basil would have quoted would have been from "A Christmas Carol", specifically the first stave titled "Marley's Ghost."
"Alright then, believe what you want." Said Cam. "But anyway I'm continuing on my walk. You can follow this… 'sleepwalker' or you can accompany me." So did Cam continue on his way.
But alas, Tina's curiosity was aroused. Thus did she follow her "sleepwalker." Didn't anybody ever tell her that it was curiosity that killed the cat?
