VII. The Zoo

“Lions and tigers and bears, oh my. Lions and tigers and bears, oh my. Lions and tigers and bears, oh—”

“Shut. The. Hell. Up.”

“Honestly, what did you think were at zoos?”

“Pandas, monkeys, giraffes maybe.”

“And lions, tigers, bears, leopards, hyenas—”

“Do you think they’re all zombified?” Terry asked.

“God I hope not. Remember the dogs in the Nest? Now, imagine that’s actually an eight hundred pound tiger.”

“Why did we come here again?”

“You said you’d never been to the zoo?” Steve said, as if it were simple.

“True. But why did we come in the middle of the night?”

“Cause we gave our car to that zombie family and it took a long ass time to walk across town to get here.”

“They weren’t a zombie family,” Terry said.

“Well of course I’m not saying they were actually zombies.”

“That’s what it sounds like you’re saying.”

“Are you saying you think I’m incapable of distinguishing between zombies and living people?” Steve asked.

“If your track record is any indication, then yes, that’s what I’m saying.”

“That’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever said,” Steve insisted.

“Oh really? In the last couple of weeks you shot a little girl, almost shot a lone survivor trapped in a tank, bola’d a normal man, and shot a bunch of mannequins.”

“Hey, the mannequins were pale!” Terry just shook his head. “And you threw a net on one of those guys too.”

“I was in a second story office. I just followed your lead man.”

“Well I haven’t shot you, yet.”

“Yet,” Terry said.

“Hey, there’s the zoo,” Steve said, pointing.

Terry stopped in his tracks. Steve got a few feet ahead of him before realizing and stopping as well. He looked back at Terry with a question in his eyes.

“Is this a good idea?” Terry asked suddenly.

“Why not? And zoos have the best corndogs ever, man.”

“You do realize there is no one in there actually serving corndogs, right?”

Steve spluttered for a moment. “Yeah.”

“Do you think these shotguns will put down a zombie tiger?”

“They wouldn’t put down a non-zombie tiger.” Terry turned around and started to walk away. Steve chased after him and stopped him. “Dude, dude! They’re in cages. It’s all good man.”

“They’re in cages?”

Steve rolled his eyes. “And you call me stupid. The animals aren’t just walking around, moron.”

“I—I knew that,” Terry said with false confidence.

“Besides, it’s not safe to just go wandering around the city at night, man. Best bet is in the zoo.”

Terry took a few deep breaths to reassure himself. “Aight, let’s do this.”

They reached the entrance of the zoo to find the gates open. Steve pulled a small flashlight from his pocket and clicked it on. They entered into a broad thoroughfare.

“Where are the animals?” Terry asked in a whisper.

“They’re all in separate areas. Let’s grab a map.”

“A map?”

“Zoos are big, man.”

“Okay, a map.”

“Why are you whispering?” Steve asked.

“Why are you not?”

“It’s a zoo. It’s not like there are—”

“Zombies!” Terry cried, pointing.

“Around every corner.” Steve trailed off and looked where Terry was pointing to see several undead in zoo uniforms. “Huh, look at that.”

Steve and Terry unloaded several rounds from their shotguns and put the zombies down.
