No, it is I who should be thanking YOU, Caroline...so...here goes...
Thanks so much for reading and supporting these tiny snippets of terror. Myself, along with all of the other fantastic authors who have selflessly contributed to the series sincerely appreciate your readership.

All my best.

Comment from Bill Schott

Excellent

A terrific story of the last few minutes in a family's lives. The sound effects alone are enough to send someone over the couch, but the grunting and gurgling of the undead freezes the blood. The description of the daughter makes all dads tremble at the thought of what's next. Two bullets would be nice.
(Which reminds me of The Office and the line:
If I had a gun with only two bullets in it and I were in a room with Osama Bin Ladin, Hitler, and Tobey... I'd shoot Tobey twice.)

A grim decision confronts a loving dad. A quick death, or a slow agonizing devouring. I wouldn't relish being eaten alive. Curtain call, grunts and groans, chubby cheeks, cacophonous crash, and more. Nice touches of alliteration in a narrative prose.

Freaky of course!

Reads like an episode of the walking dead!

Oh, the undead. Such an unruly bunch.

Have some whiskey with me, Dean.

It's gonna be a long night of perpetual terrors.

*howls at the undead, bearing down on the front door

Sure, Bill. What are we drinkin' tonight? Gentleman Jack, Jim Beam or some Beefeater gin? I'll bring the clean glasses...unless you prefer to drink it straight from the bottle, like me.
Thanks for the sixer, and for reading and supporting there small snippets of horror. As always, I deeply appreciate it!

As always, you never cease to amaze me, or terrify me. I would do the same thing if faced with face-eating zombies. I would kill my child to protect her. If you get bit by a zombie, you become one, right? Half the people I work with must have been bitten. Happy Halloween!

This is terror-ific, Dean! What a choice to have to make. How do you kill your daughter? It's a scary thought. It's the type of scenario that nightmares are made of, where nothing makes sense. A great story to make you shiver on Halloween. Thanks for sharing!
cheers

This could be a dead end! By the way, my computer froze twice while I was trying to read this. Did you scare my computer to death? Evi
