Dawn of the Zombie Knights

by Adam Wallace

  ‘What’s going on?’ Pete asked, wondering why they were all waiting out there for him. Mrs McGee smiled.

  ‘Can you just confirm something for us?’ she asked. ‘We’re pretty confident, but you’re the one who will know for sure.’

  Pete shrugged.

  ‘Sure, but this is pretty weird, you know.’

  The others laughed and walked around the back of the house to the vegetable patch. Pete couldn’t believe his eyes. There, between the lettuce and the zucchini, was a little weed-like flower growing through the surface. There were thorns on the dark green stalk, and the flower was a dull yellow. Pete ran over and knelt by the flower, staring at it.

  Suddenly it clicked.

  This was Sir Vyvor’s wish. He had wished Pete another Wilderene Flower. Holy cow, this was amazing! Pete vowed, then and there, that as soon as the flower was fully grown he would deliver it to Mortone and the healers of Bandragon. They would be the ones to gain the most out of it. Besides, that would give him an excuse to go and see Molloy and Tahnee again.

  Sir Pete McGee glanced over at his noble steed, Lightning. The horse pranced around, snorting out hot air as he did so. Pete laughed. They were a great team. He looked at his family, who were watching him, and smiled. He couldn’t believe how lucky he was.

  So that’s it. Another great, well, I suppose it was a journey in the sense that Pete went on a journey of self-discovery, but it wasn’t a journey where he went to all different places or anything.

  Actually, I think we can call it a great adventure, because anything to do with zombies is great, and when they’re trying to kill you and all other stuff is happening, that’s an adventure. So a great adventure it was. And now it is finished.

  So until you read the book again, or hear my voice on the big screen in the movie version, be good, dream big, and always take the chance to show the world just how great you can be.
