“Not in a box. Not with a fox. Not in a house. Not with a mouse. I
would not eat them here or there. I would not eat them anywhere. I
would not eat green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Sam-I-Am.

My laptop nearly ran out of juice the other day. So I pulped some
oranges and it was working at 100% again. Anyway onto the flash
fiction!
Striking News
Thomas, leading an uninteresting life with a balding head and a
newly caffeinated mind, opened up his Saturday newspaper. The front
page article shook his world by detailing the fact that zombies
invaded his town! It described the monsters, their attack, and how
the virus spread over such a short time. Thomas didn't have family or
friends to save, but he did need to save himself. He grabbed a
baseball bat. He looked out the window prepared to board his windows
when the hordes came. Strangely he only saw his neighbors getting
ready. Together everyone prepared for a siege with a careful eye on
those around them. The article said to spread by contact so they
refused to leave their homes and had yet left to raid.
The next day, before everyone began to gear up and fight a war for
supplies and wage war through the city it was revealed that the
article was caused by someone mixing up the front page article file
on their computer with part of a zombie ebook they downloaded. Those
with less active imaginations stopped anyone who lashed out before
the misunderstanding was cleared up. At least that was the cover
story. It was a drill, to see how prepared for the zombies we would
be. And the secret anti-monster organizations decided that we've been
properly trained for zombie attacks by the media we've been
consuming. Next they would ensure immunity to pixie attacks.
