Zilong the Zombie Day 21

Zilong the Zombie DAY 214 o'clock Tuesday, class is over, and I have a great need to feed the gnawing hunger in my belly. I was eating about twice as much as I had been a week ago, and almost constantly felt at least a twinge of hunger. I'd spent what time I had between classes hanging out with Jessica. She seemed a little distracted, but she'd explained she had a lot of school work to do and had to work that night. I still hadn't told her of the events that had happened that Wednesday almost two weeks ago now, and she hadn't offered any real explanation as to her whereabouts for the past week. I shook my head thinking about that on the wa...

Zilong the Zombie Day 20

Zilong the Zombie, DAY 20Time passes as it always does. Tracking and battling the Chupacabra seemed like forever ago, rather than only two weeks. I'd sat and watched as the body of our foe had slowly disintigrated in the light, much slower than the movies had led me to believe. I'd taught myself to see auras. I'd devoured the last of our food as I waited for dusk so that we could head back to civilization. I'd watched as my body healed itself of the damage it had sustained over the last few nights. And mostly I'd sat alone with my thoughts in the presence of Harm's body, and the silent figures of Spike and DehydraToad. Harm had been oddly ...

ZtZ DAY 20 - False Start

Zilong the Zombie, DAY 20I sat and watched the sun come up with Harm safely sealed in his sleeping bag and tent. The body of the Chupacabra slowly steamed and disintigrated? dissolved? in the sunlight. None of us had shared a word since the previous night, not DehydraToad, not Spike, not Harm. Spike had curled up in the tent with Harm to snooze. The DehydraToad was sitting on my shoulder just watching everything. My leg was much improved, and in general I seemed to be healing quite nicely. Though I felt ravaged by hunger, I resisted the urge to tear into all of our rations and just sate my appetite. I slowly chewed the last of the dried me...

Zilong the Zombie Day 19

Zilong the Zombie DAY 19Tuesday and Wednesday nights had passed, uneventful. Wednesday and Thursday had passed with no sign of Jessica. A lot of people had taken off early from school for Spring Break. Still, I wondered what had happened to my Darkling Jess. Things had gone so well... and then she'd dissappeared right as I'd been turned into a zombie. From everything I'd heard, there was nothing suspicious or supernatural about her disappearance. That made it hurt all the more. I'd spent the last couple of nights with Harm messing around with the Ouija, to see if I could tap into the spirit world to locate her, but if any spirits knew her ...

Zilong the Zombie Day 18

Zilong the Zombie DAY 18Four days had passed since we'd faced down Marilyn the Magician. I'd returned that night to Harm's trailer, where he extracted arrowheads from my flesh with pliers. He put the silver mirror and the branding iron in the closet with his coffin for safe keeping. I didn't figure there was anything still magical about either of those artifacts, and Spike had told us he didn't detect any traces of enchantment on them, but we kept them anyway. I'd had an uneventful weekend following the confrontation. I'd tried contacting Stranger Cat via the Ouija, but if he were still out there, I was unable to contact him. I'd slept lik...

Literature

Zilong the Zombie Day 17

ZZ DAY 17I'd been waiting at the convenience store for about a half hour, which meant that Harm was fifteen minutes late. I'd eaten half a dozen barbeque sandiches already, and had almost finished my soda. Since I'd come to use this so called magic, I found that both my hunger and my capacity for food had increased. I drained my 64 fluid ounce cola, and went back inside for a refill. Harm was at one of the gas pumps when I emerged. With the visor of his helmet up he looked almost flush, and I felt a new level of vitality around him. It must be that he'd fed. I looked at the specter that was Stranger Cat in my front seat. He seemed unconcer...

Literature

Zilong the Zombie Day 16

ZZ DAY 16 - Spike's take.The last thing I remembered was taking the spiritual blast meant for my human, Parker. Or Zi as he was wont to be called now. Magically adept, in an unconscious sort of way he may be, but what we were dealing with was a human who was both adept and studious; she'd studied. So instead of erect an inpenetrable barrier for myself, which I could have easily done, I did so for Zi and took the blast. It ejected me from the car, and it rather hurt, since I'm a spirit being and not currently occupying a body. I was propelled from the car, and bounced of the ground off the freeway while they sped onward. I hoped Zi would do...

Literature

Zilong the Zombie Day 15

DAY 15 - Powered by Anger, Driven By HungerBack in the kitchen, I looked from Stranger Cat, to Harm, to Jerry. Stranger Cat was perched on the kitchen counter, glancing casualy from me to Jerry. He looked very much like a big, dumb, transparent cat. Harm was leaning casually back in his chair, at a very precarious angle I thought. His head was leaned back, as though he were staring at the ceiling but his eyes were most of the way closed, and one could almost think he were asleep. I didn't think he was asleep. Jerry was seated across from Harm and eating a bowl of cereal, head down. He didn't look to me like a very happy camper. The sooner ...

Zilong the Zombie Side Story 2

ZZ Side Story 2It was the weekend. I was sitting in front of the television playing video games. There wasn't much else to do around the place, I lived in the middle of the desert, after all. Not just in the middle of the desert, but in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the desert. The nearest so called 'convenience' store was ten miles away, and I was currently jobless and broke. I didn't have the gas money to go out and do anything else, so I sat at home playing video games. Someone was tapping gently at the door. I let my mother answer it, I didn't really care who was coming to the door. It's not like they were going to be looking ...

Harm's Story

Harmon's StoryGreetings mortal snacks. You can call me Harm. I'm one of the reasons you don't walk alone in bad neighborhoods. Sure they warn you about muggers and gangs and such. They're afraid to talk about me, those who suspect I exist. I'm one of the things that goes bump in the night. You can call me a vampire. I wasn't born a vampire. I'm not at all certain that vampires CAN be born, sorry all you Blade fans out there. Misfortune is what turned meinto a vampire. Another case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I used to be a 29 year old man. A young looking and probably naive 29 year old, but a man nonetheless. I used to b...

Zilong the Zombie

Day 1.Hi. My name is Zilong, and I'm a zombie. I didn't start out as a zombie. I didn't start out as a Zilong, either. The Zombie thing I went looking for. Sort of. The Zilong thing just sort of happened. I used to be a normal boy. Well, only normal in that I was a human being and not some sort of zombie. I guess everyone used to say I was a pretty strange child, and even grew into a strange adult. Maybe that's why I became a zombie. None of that really matters now, because as far as zombies go, I'm pretty normal. Probably I am a bit unusual as far as Zilong's go, though. I mean, I've never really met one outside of stories. I also have a ...

Literature

Zilong the Zombie: Spike DAY 2

DAY 2After that my life returned to normal...ish. I ignored the dead in my dreams. I quit thinking about my premonitions, and they intruded into my mind less and less. I quit playing with the Ouija board altogether. The little kids WERE a bit disappointed about that, but Ijust told them I had to get the batteries from a place in Hong Kong, and they were sending them by slow boat. I love how little kids can believe almost everything. It must be nice to have that kind of naiveté. Though being a zombie actually reintroduces some level of that, if only because you don't really have any idea what's going on. You think to yourself "That's imposs...

Zilong the Zombie DAY 3

DAY 3 the DehydratoadThere really does seem to be such a thing as the human spirit, I've discovered in my Undeath. During life, it takes quite a bit of abuse from most people, but it usually manages to hold together just fine. There are, however, certain things that can be done to severely warp it. So far, I'd had two of those things occur. From one aspect you could say I did both to myself. The first thing was when I'd died and been dragged back. The second was the overwhelmingly dark fury mingled with bitter sadness that took place after Spike's death. Perhaps the second became possible because of the first. I don't know. It's hard to sa...

Zilong the Zombie DAY 4

DAY 4Things weren't going well, either in my life or inside my head. My father was not happy that I'd lost my job, and was pushing me to finds another one. Not an easy thing as a college student when one has to schedule work around classes. My other kept her commentary confined to a head shake of disapproval and an "I told you so." Not that my scholastic life was faring any better around that time. I don't even want to go into the details of how my formerly Dean's list grades were plummeting, but I didn't seem to be able to concentrate well enough to pass tests, complete intelligible papers, anything. Statistics was going to be an utter fa...

Zilong the Zombie DAY 5

DAY 5Another morning, another day of weariness. My father had woken me up and sent me to my room at some inhumanly early hour, and by then, I was too groggy to care about haunting Stranger Cats appearing to me. I collapsed onto my bed, and fell back into a deep sleep. I dreamt that Jessika and Darkling Jess were slapping each other over me. It was a sort of satisfying dream, in a weird sort of way. Anyway, I awoke, not late for school for a change. I was tired, but I'd been constantly tired for about a month, so this was no surprise. I could drag through the day. Especially since I was going to get to hang out with Darkling Jess after scho...

Zilong The Zombie DAY 6

DAY 6I woke up feeling fairly rested for a change. I know I dreamt, I could remember dreaming, but I couldn't remember what I'd dreamt about, so it must've been something not too bad. I grinned as I looked in the mirror. Today I had Psychology. With Darkling Jess. I'd even finished all of my school work that was due today! I hadn't finished too much of my make up work, but at least I was making progress. It looked like everything was going to be okay for a change! I joined my brothers at the breakfast table. Dean grinned and nodded in acknowledgement of my presense, Jayson glanced up and then returned his attention to his bowl of cereal. "...

Zilong the Zombie DAY 7

DAY 7I got home that afternoon, and thought. I had the makings of a plan for revenge against my evil former boss. I wanted to haunt him. I already had within my power the ability to summon and communicate with the dead. I hadn't really tested this power to any kind of limits yet. WOULD I be able to command the dead? Or perhaps if not command, then persuade them to work with me? Would the ghosts be visible when I wasn't around? So many questions, and my thirst for revenge was fierce. Still, I had come up with some ideas that felt right on my drive home. It was time to test some of my theories. First, I found Jayson. He was reluctant to show...

Zilong the Zombie DAY 8

DAY 8I woke up late the next morning, Friday morning, to find Stranger Cat curled up at the foot of my bed. He looked at me as I sat up. Yesterday, I think I would have been frightened by such a thing. Today it made me smile a dark smile. I had the power, it seemed. I also had some work to do. The first thing I did was to call up the store to see if Jerry was working. I had opened the store before, and I expected it would now fall to Jerry to be the replacement me. I was right, Jerry was there. He'd be working alone until about 1pm when the bossman was SUPPOSED to come in. That meant he wouldn't be there until, oh, 2 or maybe even as late ...

Zilong the Zombie DAY 9

DAY 9My mom hadn't pestered me too badly about my obvious damage. I'd gotten into a lot of fights in elementary school, so she wasn't too surprised. My father was more concerned about whether I gave as much as I'd received. I told him I had and he was satisfied. Mom was a little worried about a possible concussion, because of the repeated blows to the head I took, but I assured her I was really feeling okay. "I just worry. I don't want to have you wake up dead tomorrow," she said. "I don't think your father would care for a repeat of that." I nodded solemnly and promised if I felt anything bad like that, I'd let them know. I'd had a concus...

6 months already?

When last we left the intrepid Miles and his friends Zilong, SPike and Harm they were off doing some stuff...And then my computer broke. Repeatedly. It's still not quite 100% fixed either, but almost. Just need a video card, and a replacement mouse. (My father needed my mouse more than I, it seems.)And this desert, it saps my will to write much, it seems. I mean, I went from one DAY per every other day, to like, one a month, if we were lucky?And so I started writing again, the old fashioned way, on paper. At work. When I was supposed to be doing other stuff. Just to see if I still could.But I finished it!It's not long, something like ten p...

Devious Journal Entry

0 min read

Yes, it's time for my one month promise of writings that take forever. I DO have a page of the next ZtZ day, but I don't know where it's going to go now, what direction the story will take after this one page. And one page is way too little to actually post up unless I'm desperate. I guess if I think of something cool soon enough I'll write about that, and if not, it'll take me awhile to finish.Who's betting on awhile?
