Oooerrr!

What’s that sound?  Limping footsteps dragging across the yard! She seized a kitchen knife like she had seen cornered women do in the movies. The footsteps stopped on the porch. Something hammered on the door and an unearthly voice called out -
"Sorry to bother you, love. Guy down the road tells me you sharpen chainsaws?"


This is a Friday Flash Fiction 55 for the nightmare world of G-Man where bloggers edit hundreds of words down to the important 55. (YOU can do it!  You know you can!)

    Is this an Australian's or Scot's zombie? "luv" . Sounds rather charming for a zombie, though. (I hope she didn't open the door...)

    There should be a joke in here somewhere along the lines of 'Nil carborundum', but I can't quite find it. Obviously I'm not sharp enough today, never mind the chainsaw...

    Sharp and pointy instruments are best kept away from me, but I loved your 55.

    Eeeeeww, now that is a creepy visitor with a creepy mission. You are making me think I must batten down the hatches for Halloween, early even!

Thank you for stopping by. To make life easier for you I have turned off the new indecipherable and time-wasting verification words. Would you care to "feedback" to Blogger and complain about them, like I did?
