The New Dead: A Zombie Anthology
Page 44
TYME2WASTE They rolled a cannon out. She said here at the Circus of the Dead we always begin things with a bang. She read it off a card.
7:54 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE She walked up to a tall door and banged on it and for a minute I didn’t think they were going to let her out of the ring, but then they did.
7:55 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Two men in hazmat suits just led a zombie out. He’s got a metal collar around his neck with a black stick attached.
7:56 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE They’re using the stick to hold him at a distance so he can’t grab them.
7:57 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Eric says he has fantasies about a certain goth girl putting him in a rig like that.
7:58 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE This show would be a great date for the two of them. It’s got a hint of sex, a whiff of bondage, and it’s really really morbid.
7:59 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE They put the zombie in the cannon.
8:00 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Auuuughhh! They pointed the cannon at the crowd and fired it and fucking pieces of zombie went everywhere.
8:03 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE The guy in the row in front of us got smashed in the mouth with a flying shoe. He’s bleeding and everything.
8:05 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Fucking yuck! There’s still a foot inside the shoe! It’s totally realistic looking.
8:08 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE The guy sitting in front of us just walked off w/his wife to complain. Same dude who laffed at the ringmistress when she asked for help.
8:11 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Dad had a zombie lip in his hair. I am so glad I didn’t eat lunch. Looks like a gummy worm and it smells like ass.
8:13 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Naturally Eric wants to keep it.
8:13 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Here comes the ringmistress again. She says the next act is the cat’s meo.
8:14 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE OMG OMG that was not funny. She almost fell down and the way they were snarling.
8:16 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE The men in hazmat suits just wheeled in a lion in a cage. Yay, a lion! I am still girl enough to like a big cat.
8:17 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Oh that’s a really sad sick looking lion. Not fun. They’re opening the cage and sending in zombies and he’s hissing like a housecat.
8:19 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Roawwwwr! Lion power. He’s swatting them down and shredding them apart. He’s got an arm in his mouth. Everyone cheering.
8:21 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Eeeuuuw. Not so much cheering now. He’s got one and he’s tugging out its guts like he’s pulling on one end of a tug rope.
8:22 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE They’re sending in more zombies. No one laughing or cheering now. It’s really crowded in there.
8:24 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE I can’t even see the lion anymore. Lots of angry snarling and flying fur and walking corpses getting knocked around.
8:24 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE OH GROSS. The lion made a sound, like this scared whine, and now the zombies are passing around organ meat and hunks of fur.
8:25 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE They’re eating. That’s awful. I feel sick.
8:26 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Dad saw I was getting upset and told me how they did it. The cage has a false bottom. They pulled the lion out through the floor.
8:30 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE You really get swept up in this thing.
8:30 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE The Mickey Rooney guy who led us back to the seats just showed up with a flashlight. He says we left the headlights on in the van.
8:31 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Eric went to turn them off. He has to pee anyway.
8:32 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE The fireswallower just came out. He has no eyes and there’s some kind of steel contraption forcing his head back and his mouth open.
8:34 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE One of the men in the hazmat suits is FUCK ME.
8:35 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE They shoved a torch down his throat and now he’s burning! He’s running around with smoke coming out of his mouth and
8:36 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE fire in his head coming out his eyes like a jack o lante
8:36 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE They just let him burn to death from the inside out. Realest thing I’ve ever seen.
8:39 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE What’s even realer is the corpse after the hazmat guys sprayed it down with the fire extinguishers. It looks so sad and shriveled and black.
8:39 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE The ringmistress is back. She’s really weaving around. I think something is wrong with her ankle.
8:40 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE She says someone from the audience has agreed to be tonight’s sacrifice. She says he will be the lucky one.
8:41 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE He? I thought the sacrifice was usually a girl in this sort of situation.
8:41 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Oh no he did not. They just wheeled Eric out, cuffed to a big wooden wheel. He winked on the way past. Psycho. Go Eric!
8:42 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE They hauled out a zombie and chained him to a stake in the dirt. There’s a box of hatchets in front of him. Don’t like where this is going.
8:43 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Everyone’s laughing now. The lion scene was a little grim, but we’re back to funny again. The zombie threw the first hatchet into the crowd.
8:45 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE There was a thunk, and someone screamed like they got it in the head. Obvious plant.
8:45 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Eric is spinning around and around on the wheel. He’s telling the zombie to kill him before he throws up.
8:46 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Eeeks! I’m not as brave as Eric. A knife just banged into the wheel next to his head. Like: INCHES. Eric screamed too. Bet he wishes now
8:47 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE OMGOMGO
8:47 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Okay. He must be okay. He was still smiling when they wheeled him out of the ring. The hatchet went right in the side of his neck.
8:50 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Dad says it’s a trick. Dad says he’s fine. He says later Eric will come out as a zombie. That it’s part of the show.
8:51 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Yep, looks like Dad’s right. They’ve promised Eric will reemerge shortly.
8:53 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Mom is wigging. She wants Dad to check on Eric.
8:54 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE She’s being kind of crazy. She’s talking about how the guy who sat in front of us never came back after he got hit by the shoe.
8:55 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE I don’t really see what that has to do with Eric. And besides, if I got hit by a flying shoe . . .
8:55 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Okay, Dad is going to check on Eric. Sanity restored.
8:56 PM March 2nd from Tweeti
e
TYME2WASTE Here comes the ringmistress again. This is why Eric agreed to go backstage. With the fishnets and black panties she’s very goth-hot.
8:56 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE She’s being weird. She isn’t saying anything about the next act. She says if she goes off script they don’t let her out of the ring.
8:57 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE But she doesn’t care. She says she twisted her ankle and she knows tonight is her last night.
8:58 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE She says her name is Gail Ross and she went to high school in Plano.
8:59 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE She says she was going to marry her boyfriend after college. She says his name was Craig and he wanted to teach.
9:00 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE She says she’s sorry for all of us. She says they take our cars and dispose of them while we’re in the tent.
9:01 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE She says 12,000 people vanish every year on the roads with no explanation, their cars turn up empty or not at all and no one will miss us.
9:02 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Creepy stuff. Here’s Eric. His zombie makeup is really good. Most of the zombies are black and rotted but he looks like fresh kill.
9:03 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Still got the hatchet in the neck. That looks totally fake.
9:03 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE He’s not very good at being a zombie. He isn’t even trying to walk slow. He’s really going after her.
9:04 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE oh shit I hope that’s part of the show. He just knocked her down. Oh Eric Eric Eric. She hit the dirt really, really hard.
9:05 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE They’re eating her like they ate the lion. Eric is playing with guts. He’s so gross. He’s going totally method.
9:07 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Gymnastics now. They’re making a human pyramid. Or maybe I should say an INhuman pyramid. They’re surprisingly good at it. For zombies.
9:10 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE Eric is climbing the pyramid like he knows what he’s doing. I wonder if they gave him backstage training or
9:11 PM March 2nd from Tweetie
TYME2WASTE He’s up high enough to grab the wall around the ring. He’s snarling at someone in the front row, just a couple feet from here. Wait
