The Zombie Project
Alice Nuttall
Extract
Merian woke up to a zombie tapping on the window.
Tink. Tink. Tink.
She knew the sound well. The clack of bone on glass followed by a wheezy moan. Grumbling, Merian tried to go back to sleep.
Tink. Tink. Tink.
‘Go away.’ Merian rolled over and opened the curtains, letting in the sunrise, and a zombie’s stare. The zombie had one cloudy blue eye, while the other was just an empty socket. Its jaw flopped open, showing a row of broken yellow teeth, before snapping shut again.
It was a great specimen, Merian had to admit. But her bed was warm and comfy.
