Wake Up Dead - An Undead Anthology
“Darkness soaked though the cemetery like the tears he’d cried into his father’s handkerchief seven years ago when the old woman had died. The chirping insects silenced as a figure stumbled close to where Jesse stood. The council laws stated that as long as he stayed a few steps away from the bars, he was safe. The extra chains looped around the entrance gate kept the walkers at bay but did nothing for the festive atmosphere the evening used to hold. The hike to the graveyard on this late Octobe...r evening had taken longer than he’d remembered. He wasn’t surprised because he didn’t often take the trip at night, and the wakeful hoots of owls and scuffling of possums made him stop at random intervals to listen for the shuffling step of the dead. After the three years of a sort of siege, the council proclaimed that the town was safe enough with the walking corpses isolated in the boneyards. Jesse wondered what happened when someone died in his sleep or was killed in an accident. They couldn’t keep everyone under lock and key twenty-four hours a day.MoreLess
