about yourself with the following favorites:
Food? No faves. I love trying to do new stuff.
Drink
(non-alcoholic)? Coke Classic.
It’s my biggest vice. I do
my best to limit to one a day, but I often fail. This is why I never got into drinking alcoholic
beverages—what if I liked them as much?
Flower? Carnations. I love their fresh smell.
Day of the week? Being a writer, they tend to blur.
Time of day to
write? Schooltime, when the house
is quiet, but late at night works well, too.
Place to write? Wherever I can. Right now, I have a desktop, which is
good for my posture, but not the most comfortable, so I get on my laptop and
write around the house to mix it up.
I even write standing up at the kitchen counter.
Season? Spring
Holiday? Christmas
Color? Depends on
my mood
Animal? Big cats
Hobby? I don’t really have any aside from
writing.
Sport? Haidong gumbdo—Korean sword martial arts

Quest
Book? A Swiftly
Tilting Planet, by Madeleine L’Engle and Hitchhiker’s Guild to the Galaxy come
to mind first
Author? Terry Pratchett
Word? Serendipitous
Quote? This year, Peter 5:10-11: You will have to suffer only for a
little while: the God of all grace who called you to eternal glory in Christ
will see that all is well again.
He will confirm, strengthen and support you. His power lasts for ever and ever. Amen.

Blurb:
Zombie problem? Call Neeta Lyffe, Zombie Exterminator...but not this
weekend. On vacation at an
exterminator’s convention, she's looking to relax, have fun, and enjoy a little
romance. Too bad the zombies have a different idea. When they rise from their
watery graves to take over the City by the Bay, it looks like it'll be a
working vacation after all.
Enjoy
the thrill of re-kill with Neeta Lyffe, Zombie Exterminator.
Short Excerpt:
"Hi! Welcome to Zomblog! It's ‘Time to Re-kill!’ This is Kelsey Gardenberger, and we are
reporting to you live from Fisherman's Wharf, where zombie exterminators Rii
and Hi Lee of Bay Exterminations have been called in to take out a
zombie."
Police held back spectators who had cell phones to
film the event. On the ground lay
a man in a black-and-white striped shirt, black pants with suspenders and gold makeup
on his rotting skin. He pounded on
the air with imaginary fists, and then felt along imaginary walls with his
hands. Where he should have had
fingers, only mangled skin and bare bones showed. Rii and Hi, both in
protective gear, watched the prone figure and spoke among themselves. The zombie continued his act
unconcerned, except to pause now and again and make drinking motions before
pointing to the top hat waiting beside him.
"It looks like Rii Lee and Hi Lee have decided
on their strategy. Despite the
fact that the zombie appears so docile, it could turn violent at the slightest
provocation--and if you don't believe me, check out 'Don't wave that thing at
me!' on the Zomblog archives.
They're starting!"
While Rii stood by with a power blaster of
anti-zombie foam, Hi ambled up to the prone zombie, sword relaxed but ready in
his left hand. He watched the
undead mime its struggle against the imaginary coffin, nodded appreciatively,
and tossed a twenty into the hat.
The Wasted Mime started clawing with fervor, dug himself up, and brushed
himself off.
Some of the crowd in the front stepped back.
It picked up the hat, checked the money.
The crowd took in a breath.
It faced Hi.
Hi bowed.
The crowd gasped. Cameras flashed.
The zombie bowed back, deeply and theatrically.
Hi lashed out with his sword, its blade cutting
deeply and theatrically into the zombie's neck.
The re-killed corpse folded over.
The crowd broke into wild cheers.
Kelsey smiled big for the camera. "And there you have it! Looks like a mime isn't such a terrible
thing to waste after all."

ReplyDeleteWondered what this was about when I read the blog title: "...I Left my Brians..."
ReplyDelete"I Left My Brains..." makes more sense!
Hey Cheryl, thanks for catching that! At least it got you to read the post LOL. I corrected the title and send Karina my apologies.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting me, Penny. And I make the ai/ia transposition ALL the time.
