meelieIt is all foggy and misty and so forth outside still! It looks like a freakin' Sherlock Holmes book out there!
People should take part in this insert a zombie competition. pretty much you 'take one paragraph of a book that you feel can be improved by zombies . . . and PUT THAT ZOMBIE IN THERE'.
My entry, based on Jerome K. Jerome's' 'Three Men in a Boat(to say nothing of the dog)':
#########
Three Zombies - Sufferings of Zombie George and Zombie Harris - One hundred and seven victims - Useful prescriptions for brains - the benefits of eating children's livers - We agree that we are overworked and need a rest - A week at the bottom of the rolling deep? - George suggests the river styx - Montmorency lodges an objection - Original motion carried by majority of three undead to one.
There were four of us zombies - George, and William Samuel Harris, and myself and Montmorency (technically a zombie dog). We were sitting in my room, eating brains, and talking about how hungry we were - hungry from a zombie point of view I mean, of course.
We were all feeling seedy, and we were getting quite nervous about it. Harris said he felt such extraordinary fits of giddiness come over him at times, that he hardly knew how to smash heads and eat the brains out of them; and George said that he had fits of giddiness too, and that he hardly knew how to eat brains. With me, it was my liver that was out of order. I knew it was my liver that was out of order, because I had just seen it fall to floor as we talked.
#########
I need to stop buying books - I bought 3 books for £5 today - one of them was a terrible(yet awesome!) looking vampire romance, one was the book the movie 'Thank You for Smoking' was based on and the other was a copy of Three Men in a Boat with an added book 'Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow' included which I haven't read before!
Books are my kryptonite. I have been raiding charity shops for books practically since getting here as I don't feel comfortable without a pile of books to get through. I have a library card now, but it's the books I want to have my own copies of that are usually my downfall. sigh.
