This was a very good story. I like the idea of the census taker turned zombie hunter. Also, the zombie children evolving was wonderful. After all, they are more resiliant than adults…just like human children.

Great story. Altho AWB had a good point-seriously doubt they’d go it alone. BUT the kids learning. Excellent idea.

One of the best short Zombie tales. The census takers would probably be sent out in pairs though, so they could watch each other’s backs & spell one another, sleep in shifts. Working alone, you’d be an easy target.

That was the creepiest part, they were gonna use Rudy’s eyes for the snowman. Pretty scary story. I liked it.

So,what was up with the zombie kid pointing at his eyes,then at the snowman?That wasnt very clear…at least to me.I had a rough night,lots of graffiti and fence hopping.

Thanks, Mike.

Happy you enjoyed it, and thanks for taking the time to let me know. You may be right, an extra line–or maybe even a well placed word or two–might smooth that transition.

This was a tight, fun read. Very unique take on the theme. I loved Rudy’s understated work-weariness, and a census taker counting down to zero is classic. The last bit with the kid bashing his head in could be transitioned better, but a totally enjoyable read, overall!
