Zombies!

-

...if you've never been to a Zombie Walk, you have no idea what you're missing.

Well over ONE THOUSAND zombies cruised downtown Lincoln Saturday night.  They started at Pershing Center, wandered past the shops and mystified (and some terrified) onlookers, worked their way down UNL's Sorority Row, past the Broyhill Fountain, and then back to Pershing Center for a block party.

Yes, I was there, and yes, I survived the zombie onslaught...though it was close...

Many thanks to Randy and Pete, for doing the whole "combat journalism photography pool" thing; I can't claim credit for all of these pictures, there were way too many zombies to stand still and shoot!

Hey, didn't you write for the Friday Challenge a couple months back...?



...you know, when a zombie baby is ready to be born, there's just no keeping him down...


...some zombies are as afraid of you as you are of them...



Preparing for the upcoming zombie-copalypse...


Sometimes you gotta be thankful for chain-link fences...


Hey, isn't that Wil Wheaton...?


Just strolling along...splashing blood all over the town...


I think she wanted to rewrite the ending to Carrie.


...sometimes...just sometimes...you get red-eye without a flash...


Hey, there's a zombie behind--oh, never mind.


Zombification.  A Family Affair.


There's just nothing like the scent of fresh flowers from a freshly dug grave..


I turned into a zombie and I just didn't have a thing to wear...



The most popular zombie there.



Can't you see I'm having contractions here...?


BRAINZZZZZ...



...makes you wonder what's on her mind...



Keeping my EYE on YOU!


...hey, you, with the camera, lend us a hand here...?


...it's all about the attitude...oh, and the BRAINS!!

Waking the Dead

NOTE:  This post is an entry to the Friday Challenge, which can be found here . The shooting star arced across the sky, leaving a trail that must have been miles long, shooting sparks in all directions.  It was easily the longest shooting star he had ever seen, awake or dreaming.  He was dreaming, wasn't he...?  He looked around, seeing the children playing basketball with an inflated frog next door.  Across the street, there was a horse and carriage in the driveway, instead of the Honda that was usually parked there.  And he was getting ready to leave for work with bright, fluffy pink bunny slippers on his feet. Yes, he was pretty sure he was dreaming. He let the dream carry him across the street and around the block, and where there should have been an elementary school, he instead found the quiet neighborhood where his grandmother lived.  If he hadn't already known he was dreaming, this would have cinched it, because her home was a forty-five minute drive away--more during r...

Nicky Weird: Harvest Moon

-
This is an entry into this week's Friday Challenge, which can be found here . I've written about Nicky Weird before . The challenge for this week? Write the Climactic Battle scene. Xarathon's rage grew as he stalked the halls of the abandoned high school, eight lesser vampires surrounding him. It's the Harvest Moon, he thought savagely, one of the most magically potent nights of the year. I should be sacrificing virgins, not hunting children. Indeed, it was forty years to the day since the Harvest Moon where he had cursed the entire Earth, covering up the appearance of vampires and magic once and for all. He should be ripping the still-beating heart from the chest of the leader of these savages, that Nicky woman, not wasting his time looking in closets and stalking empty corridors. Up ahead, movement, a fleeting blur as a teenager dashed across the lobby and into the gymnasium. With snarls of impatience, his troops dashed ahead, pursuing the youngster through...

July 4, 2049: The Days

-
This is an entry into this week's Friday Challenge, which can be found here . The challenge: Look back from the year 2049, and figure out what's being celebrated on July 4. "Grampa! Grampa! Did you see the fireworks?" The old man bent down, and handily scooped up his youngest grandson. "You bet I did. Were they good?" "They were cool!" The boy hopped down, and ran off to get munchies. "Gramma! Gramma!" "Pop," James said, "Jim's got a report coming up. July 4 essay. He's got all the ancient history in there, but the tutor wants him to cover the Days, too. Think you can help him out?" "I'd be glad to. Where's he at?" "Stuffing his face, where else...?" An hour later, a well-fed child and his equally well-fed grandfather sat across from each other in the big overstuffed chairs by the fireplace. A video fire burned on the overlay screen, for the cheery appearance without th...
