? ? le="clear:both;"></div>So th? houl? obab? erve as a cautio? tale about eating Grape? s before bedtime...<br><br>I'm in the woods in New H? hire, hangin? ound? side Wal? ? hen I notice a body lying in? ool of blood? too? away. We don't real? ? about i? ntil the? s comes on: the town sheriff? vanished. So a Wal-? ? loyee and I walk over and check out the ? , an? ? ns out it's the ? iff,? ed on the un? m--he's been dec? ated. Anothe? ee f? ? head not too fa? ay, and it&#? still alive, and tells ? hat it&#? a harbi? . Of wha? e don't ? ? dies before we find? ? thing more.<br> <br>So I? ? o th? uck and ? e to Cal? nia, where a? entl? ? ? ? e now. I run? ? dad, and we realize that so? eopl? st do not lo? ? . They&#? e gone all gray and have lon? ? teeth a? ? ? ths are gapi? ide, and we realize--they're zom? ! Oh shit. So we run? ough the? y and wi? p in this hi? chool/parking garage, where ? le are holed up, waiting? the Zom? ocalypse. There are high school stud? walking around doing their highool-student things, and ? un into the gym, where a group of ve? ? y and ve? all gym teac? and coa? are hiding. We shoot the shit, really friendly-like, until the word com? ? ? ombies have invaded. My dad and ? ? an interminable staircase, ? ing student afte? uden? ntil fin? we'? each? ? ay out, a pair of glass double d? --on? o see zombies on the? ay in. W? ? uickly into a bathroom next ? he d? and wait a few moments. Soon enough, we hear a ? ling? ? , an? dad pokes his head out--it's clear.? > <br>We run? the door and down a big ramp into a? est normous, gia? ? . We can see zom? shambling in the distance, ? ? ick ? he foliage, ? to be i? ? ed--my dad h? een a giant ? on the ? nd enclosed in a giganti? rving banyan root. There are two? ge eggs ? here, and on? sted-up ? hell? h a large baby bird ? to it. "Oo? uot; he ? , an? ? n to gra? ? uot;Dad!" I? ? uot;? 's a? trich chick. It's a ? ty bad idea--an ? ? tric? ? what we need to deal wi? ? ? , you know.&? ? > <br>He? ugs and stuf? he chick? n th? ont of my ja? ? 's little an? own and real? e and looks like a carto? ? ? sion of an actual bird. My d? tells me he's got somewhere to b? ? st follow th? ees until I come to a large pointy boulder. It'll be shiny black and? ered? h parall? ertical ridges. ? e'll be a very narro? ack in it--go through there and I'll rea? ? illa? here my family is, a? e can ho? p anst likel? ? e the Z-poca? e in there. ? ? off? > <br>I follow his i? uctions, and? e enough, on the oth? ide ? he crack is magically a small little old? ? illage, and I go to the biggest ? e, and meet my m? here. I ? the? ? se, ? to find a lot of dirty ? everywhere, and my mom expl? t their maid, Josephine, isn'? oo good at cleaning--she's got a? sona? ? order that causes her to? ch TV all the time, so don&#? ? ? oo much ? ? . Uh--ok? ? hen, a call ? up: the zom? ? e made it through the big rock and are on their way.<br>? >We run ? o the top floor ? he house, where I lo? ? gh a window onto wha? ? s to be an LA city back-alley. There's a group of young ? and? ombie. The guys' head honcho is taunting the zombie, making fun of it, kicking it, a? hey're both ? ing yell? -shirts. Suddenl? ? ombi? ? and? ? he guy&#? arm, and hi? s lose i? est and ? er away, leaving him and the zombie alone. The guy d? ? arm back to? side, and just ? of ? s there, staring at the zombie, then? mbles off.<br> <br>In the meantime, Josephine's watching the? s. A? ently this is an item of? ional interest, and ? ? ? that there have bee? ? tbreaks ? ombiism: one in California (? e I am now) and one in New York (where I? in the dream that inspired ? blog). The New York? break has been contained? t California's been abandoned to the zom? --the remaining livi? eopl? ? st going to have to toug? ? ? r>Later,? ealize both my mom and J? hine? e vanished, so I lea? he house and walk to my truck. There, in the driver's seat, I re? e th? hey're both prob? dead, just as I? ice a zombie shambling i? ? ? ? ? arking l? ? ds me. I climb into the back of the cab and hide, hoping it ? n't notice me, b? oo late I re? e the passenger-side window is open.? cramble to get it shut, but it&#? too? e--it walks ? ? ? I'm beginni? o wind i? , and before I know it, my arm&#? been torn off.<br> <br>I wo? ? 1 a.m. in a col? eat.? ? ? > <d? tyle="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div><br />
