Comet turns people into Zombies

February 28th 2007 06:23
Ziggy Stardust and the Zombies from Mars 21/08/06


Michele was feeling quite pleased with herself, for she had just managed to trade in her old banger of a car in exchange for a sleek red two door sports car. Leaving the car dealer shaking his head as oil dripped from beneath the bonnet as she sped off.

‘Ha’ she thought, her foot pressing down hard on the accelerator, the car shooting forward, tires squealing on the tarmac.
She glanced at her reflection in the shop windows, admiring the gleaming body of her latest toy.
Just then she looked at her watch ‘Damm I’ll be late for my hair appointment at Minger Gegs’ she muttered under her breath before selecting a lower gear and flooring the accelerator once more. Giving a slight smile as a couple drongo youths jumped out of her way.


It was as she was parking nearby the hairdressers that she saw something that caught her eye, it was a new travel agents that was opening up, ‘Hmm Julia’s Travel Bureau, sounds interesting’ she thought making a metal note to take a look after she had her hair done.

Opening the door to Minger Gegs, Michelle was greeted by the owner Santino
‘Ahh darling, good to see you again’ he purred taking a hold of her hand before leading Michele to the closest empty chair.

Michele looked around, where was her usual hairdresser she thought?
Santino sensing what she was looking for said ‘Don’t worry Fifi has moved on but we have a new stylist, let me introduce Storm’.

‘Hello’ a dark haired woman said stepping from behind the curtain that led to the back room area.
As Michele explained what she wanted, Santino called out ‘Ah my favorite song, Ziggy Stardust’ before turning the radio up loud.
Storm placed the soothing eye massage blindfold on Michele before starting to wash her hair.

Michele closed her eyes, feeling the soothing coolness of the blindfold upon her eyelids.



Just then she heard Santino cry out ‘Look at that green light in the sky’ before everything went strangely quiet.
‘Storm, Santino are you there? She asked with concern rising in her voice.
No answer, so slowly she took off the blindfold, putting her hand to her mouth as she did so, for Storm and Santino had both changed into blind zombies.


This was just a very quick writing execise using three items although can't recall what they were at the moment?
