The Longhorns baseball cap guy next to them had been recording the scene with his phone and turned to them. “I don’t know, but it’s super-realistic.”

“I think this is real,” Brooke said softly. “I think those people just got killed by those … people.”

As they watched, a man from the group of onlookers across the street stumbled out of the crowd of zombies, his left arm dangling by a tendon at the shoulder, blood coursing down the side of his body, his face deeply grooved with scratches. He took a few steps and looked around in a daze, saw Brooke and Josh and made an uncertain step toward them.

“Help me,” he said, his voice weak and barely audible.

He took another step and collapsed to the asphalt.

“I think we need to get out of here,” Brooke said, common sense suddenly flooding into her body, romantic notions dissolving as the primeval fight-or-flight responses kicked in deep in her mind. “Josh, we need to get the hell out of here.”

Josh turned to her and nodded several short, quick jerks. “Yeah, let’s go this way.”

He grabbed her arm by the wrist and pulled her alongside him back down the road, away from the group of onlookers. Brooke looked over her shoulder at them. Even they were backing down the road away from the zombie horde, but still recording everything with their phones. She wondered if maybe she were overreacting, if maybe this weren’t some elaborate movie set she were on, and then a pair of zombies – two ashen-faced black teenage boys wearing lots of gold necklaces, baggy jeans and over-sized nylon jackets – stepped out of the shadows to Josh’s side and grabbed him by the arm not holding onto Brooke. For an instant, Brooke noticed the one on the right had a deformed mouth, wider and filled with larger teeth than normal.

One of the boys yanked Josh away from her, ripping his hand from hers and causing her to stumble in her heels. She regained her balance just in time to see Josh take a swing at him. His hand connected with the zombie’s shoulder, but to no effect. Before he could say anything, the other zombie with the bigger mouth pulled Josh's other arm to its mouth and bit deeply into it, blood pooling around the zombie’s lips as it shook its head to sever flesh from the limb. Josh shrieked in pain, twisting around the bitten arm to try to land a punch on this other zombie, but the first zombie grabbed Josh's head in its palms and bent it down, biting Josh on the back of the neck and crunching into backbone. Josh vibrated violently for a second and his body went slack in the clutches of the two zombies.

Brooke began to run, unaware she had just urinated in her favorite designer jeans, the pair her husband loved on her and said brought out the best curvature of her ass. She had been hoping Josh would notice that, too.
