We found Sarah, Rachel and Janet sitting at a picnic table in back of our old damaged home. There were two dead zombies at their feet.

“They followed us,” she said simply. I didn’t bother asking the circumstances; they were dead and nobody had been bitten, that’s all that mattered. One of them had a backpack on. I searched it and found a roll of toilet paper stored in a plastic Folgers coffee container and a small, rechargeable flashlight. I tossed them to Sarah.

“To the victor goes the spoils,” I said with a grin.

“What does that mean?” Sammy asked.

“It’s an expression used by a politician a long time ago. It basically means the winner gets the prize.”

“Oh.”

“I’ll explain it in more detail one day. In the meantime, let’s clean up Aunt Sarah’s mess.”

I instructed Sammy how to loop the rope around their ankles and tie it off on the bumper hooks of the truck. The four of us then slowly dragged the corpses over to the sinkhole. I pointed to a tarp covering stuff and held down by rocks.

“I keep a five gallon can of fuel here and some old tires. Once you get a couple of them burning, they’ll go for hours. Just dump the bodies on top of them and it’ll burn them to a crisp.” I instructed Sammy how to do it and he excitedly lit the pyre with his brand new Bic lighter. We talked as we watched them burn. He was standing close and I guided him backwards as I pointed toward the thick black smoke.

“Burning rubber releases a bunch of toxins, so don’t breathe any of the smoke.” Sammy looked up at me and nodded.

“I see a lot of darkened bones,” Sarah commented.

“Yeah, we’ve had a few unwanted visitors over the past couple of years. The first one was Susan Riggins, the woman who originally lived at the big house. The second one was Fred’s little brother, his name was Franklin.” Sarah looked at me questioningly.

“He’d gotten sick and turned. He killed Fred’s wife and mother-in-law before wandering off. He came up to the old homestead one night. Julie and I managed to kill him and drug him down here the next morning. A few days later, we met Fred. He wanted to give his baby brother a Christian burial. It was hell getting the remains out of there.”

“I remember Julie telling me about that,” Janet said and looked at me quizzically.

“Do you miss her?”

“Every day,” I replied evenly. I expected more, but she had nothing more to say on the matter. We watched the fire in silence for a few minutes.

“How’d it go with the house hunting?” I asked. Rachel shook her head.

“Busted water pipes, mold, mildew, dead bodies lying around. We couldn’t find one that suited us. But we found a bed for Janet. And besides…” She looked at Rachel.

“So, when are you going to move in with Sarah?” I asked Rachel. Sarah looked at me in surprise. Rachel piped up.

“Have you ever heard this one: what does a lesbian bring on her second date?” she asked.
