Listen To Your Elders
“Listen, kids,” the old man urged. “Watch your backs.”
Josh and Sam smiled at the old man. They had been told about him. The crazy guy who was always talking doom.
“Why?” asked Josh.
“They’re everywhere, boys. You can’t escape them.”
“Who?”
“Brain-eating zombies.”
“Well, they’ll get nothing from us, huh, Sam,” Josh teased.
“It doesn’t matter how smart you are, you young whelps. It’s the brains themselves they live on. Listen to me and beware.”
“Whatever, old man,” Sam chimed. “We have to go home.”
The two boys left the old man standing there. He watched them walk into the alley. Then he heard a terrible voice.
“Brains!”
When he turned around the corner he saw that some zombies were eating the boys’ brains. He shook his head and walked off. They should have listened to their elders.
