Dead Men Tell No Tales. Strange Men On The Other Hand...

  I looked at Pin Up Man’s watch and his clothes a bit more closely before committing to taking the case, I didn’t see anything that stood out about the clothes.

Excerpt: The Ninja Zombie War: Listen For The Screams

This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events and incidents are either the products of the author’s imagination or used in a fictitious manner. If you do see yourself you are probably undead and who wants to admit they are a zombie anyway. Except for Bob.

(A ninja star sails past the reader's head and impales itself to the wall next to the reader's ear). You might want to hurry with that quiet moment.     The Ninja Zombie War: Listen For The Screams “Meow...MEOW. YOW!” Dobby walks through the house yowling loudly and repeatedly. “Yes, kitty. What do you need?” Writer Lady asks meeting Dobby in the living room. “Play with me.” Dobby demands. “I fed you, gave you fresh water, scooped your box, brushed you and I tried to play with yo
