The Shimmer ~ Part 1
Hi Everyone!
This is my Day 113 - Freewrite, Prompt: ski Plus due to a conversation with @mikesthoughts, where I dared him to add the words dead zombie, I thought I had best add it to mine too. Fair is fair when it comes to dares!!
I hope you get a kick out of my Freewrite below!
If you have never done a @mariannewest Freewrite do yourself a favor and give it a go!! You will be so happy you did!!
The Shimmer
A group of us all started out skiing together. Going down the slope I hit a mogul finding myself flying up through the cold air.
The sky in front of me started to shimmer. It was not the normal happy shimmer I'm use to seeing. This shimmer had black sparkling around the edges. I started pinwheeling with all my might to stop my forward thrust, panic setting in. Through the shimmer, I went........
The land that greeted me was dead. Dead? Yes!
Bodies were everywhere that looked like, hmmm, Zombies? I didn't know you could kill a zombie! Now I'm in a whole town of the darn dead things. Crap!
The weather was well over 100 Fahrenheit. Sweat pouring down the inside of my ski coat made me realize I was not dressed for this.
Turning back around I went searching for the shimmer hoping against hope it was still there.
Nope, of course not. I was in a dead zombie town! Why would I even think I was going to get out of this so soon.
Now the question became, who? What? was strong enough to kill a whole town of zombies?
Taking my ski clothes off, ski's still in hand, I slowly started to walk forward to see what was what, using the skis as a shield.
Happy Writing!
