Today’s Teaser Tuesday comes from the short story, “A Short Walk Home.”
I don’t know why I even reacted; it was just a rustle, probably an opossum or raccoon. But I became newly aware I was beside a corn field, not soybeans, and I couldn’t see a thing in there. Soybeans can hide rabbits; corn can hide axe murderers and zombies.
…I know, I know, my Hoosier roots are showing.
Bwahaha! Just today I decided to give Zombies, Run! another try. And found myself running down a gravel lane between two cornfields, with zombie sound effects in my headphones. It was terrifying. I think I ran faster than I ever have. :P
I *know*, right? First time I tried it I didn’t have a compatible music app installed, so it was dead silence but for the zombie sounds following me. Far too creepy. (And I was running *in* a field!)
