John slumbered out of his daze to a faint banging sound. He was alone as usual in his bunker. The only thing around his bed were tons of provisions. He got out of bed and pulled down the periscope attached to the ceiling.
He swivelled around quickly, rotating his body around the periscope. The bunker was buried in an empty field in his backyard. At his back there was his familiar oak wood house. He swivelled the periscope around more. A single zombie came into view. It banged on the air vent a couple of feet from his bunker. “Let me in” It grunted! While continuing to bang its rotting arms against the metallic surface.
John sighed before pulling down a radio from the side of the periscope.
“Hey, Hey!” Called John. “What are you doing Z! You never acted like this before?”
The zombie stopped and approached the periscope.
“Can I come in! It's lonely, here, nothing, out here. John scratched his chin. “I let you in will you promise not to eat me? I ..promise” Said the zombie while slurring on saliva. “Okay. But first show me your tongue if you’re lying your tongue will be blue. “ The zombie firmly closed its mouth. “I no lie”
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
The zombie's jaw suddenly gave out and fell to the ground with a clunk. Revealing rotting mandibles. “Hey Z, did you lie?” asked John. The zombie slumped its shoulders and looked at the ground.”Yes, I’m sorry.”John chuckled softly. “Wait a minute Z.”
He hung up the radio before rummaging around a closet. He withdrew a can of bright yellow can of dog food. He cut open the lid with a knife. He unscrewed a pipe in the ceiling and launched the can with all his strength through it. He looked through the periscope again. A little distance from the opening of the air vent was the dog food can.
“That’s for you Z!” Said John once again into the radio. “As a reward for speaking so much.”The zombie picked up its jaw and reattached it with a strong click. John watched the zombie happily scoop out the dog food and greedily eat it all. He sat back down on his bed resting his head against his hand. I’m sure this is some sort of major discovery, a talking zombie! I can barely believe it. John snickered. Although it doesn't matter anymore since there’s no one left who would benefit from that information.
