Part 5 (1/2)

I keep her safe by not letting her stay in the sea Like a feeeks ago, when I just happened to see her in the water and pulled her out by her legs Then getting all of that rotten e

I have done my best to keep her alive I mean, alive-ish? Waitshe is deadno, undeadso that means I have done ic

She's a zombie, for Christ's sake Everyone knows that when you see a zoive in to that urge In fact, I've done everything I can to keep her fro hurt But still she had to kick and snarl andAfter an hour of that, I took her back to the tree and tied her to it

The thunder and lightning ca her ass back to the camp and hold her down Finally, I took soht as I could so she couldn't even roll over

In the one Boy, was I happy about that I had about a gallon of water, which I drank and washed off in She watched le my junk at her ”Yeah, you can't have this, can you?”

She didn't answer

Tired after all that up and down last night Lucky for me, I don't exactly have a schedule to stick to and can nap whenever I want If I can get over the heat, that is I was thinking about lying in the pool of water with my head on the sandy shore like a pillow That would be a lot more comfortable than the damn humidity

Later, I unwrapped her and took her for a walk I have devised a way to tie her wrist so that I can pull her along I don't , but she does need the exercise, and it's not like I put a leash around her neck or anything

The sun was high, and I didn't have my ball cap handy I think I dropped it so her across the island So I flipped the turtle shell and gave it a once-over It was lighter than it looked I had rubbed sand in it to break away the driedit by the fire to dry I put it on my head She took one look at rowled at her, standing up with my hands raised She snarled back

I' the beach, and I took the opportunity to splash water at her as I walked I had s pulled up to ruruetting air sucked into her stoets expelled Which sounds like she is growling and burping at the sah, and I don't want to think about that So zo, since she is undead and all, so I took the opportunity to take her coconut top and grass skirt off again today and inspect her I ran my hands over her body and pushed and poked stuff tobad I bet it sounds weird, but if she starts to rot, what a to do? I don't have any perfu zombie chick around

We had wandered a bit farther when I heard noises in the distance I stopped, and she walked into et her hands around my neck Her mouth hit ainst me I took her arm and held her back while I listened to what sounded like voices

Oh my God! I wanted to run and yell for help at the top ofto be rescued at last But what to do about ht try to hurt her I didn't have a lot of rope with me; most of it was tied to the tree, so I would have to ed her to a fallen branch and tied her wrist to it The log it was attached to was huge There was no way she could drag it with her

I checked the binding again and decided it would have to do I set off down the beach The vegetation grew out almost to the water here, and I hadn't really explored et around

I caht me to my knees I felt tears stain my cheeks as I choked back a sob

Pulled up on the sand was a boat with a long outrider like you see the Hawaiians or Polynesians ride in There were long poles on it that theI wanted to shout for joy, but there was no one at the boat I stumbled toward it like I had just found a steakhouse

Then I saoone of the weird flowers thatthat killed her and made her into a zombie

”Hey!” I yelled

One was on his feet in a flash He was shi+rtless but had on a pair of Ber old necklace of teeth and one that was some sort of flowers like a lei He snatched a small spear that was at his side and stared at host

”Hey, help, I've been stuck here for teeks! My plane crashed and I ”

The other was on his feet, but he wasn't looking at me Neither was the first one for thatin the distance

”Guys, you need to help et off this island!” I walked toward the taken to their village, where I would be treated like a God, fed real food, and then returned to civilization like a conquering hero I was sure to make the talk show circuits, be on the radio and have Hollywood knocking down ht even have to come back here with an expedition and show theive it to them

They spoke to each other in low tones and started backing away toward the beach I held outlike that? Oh my God! I yanked the turtle shell off my head and threw it aside I bet it scared them Their eyes ide, and they turned and ran for the boat

”No! Wait!” I yelled

A shape brushed into otten loose fro and looked ready for dinner One of them threw a spear in haste and ran to the boat The slim piece of wood uy was already pulling the tiny boat into the sea She still had the cover on her er

”She can't hurt you! Wait! Please co like the thing was on fire

She stuo after her and grab her around the waist to haul her back to the shore She struggled, trying to turn and bite me I took her to the shore and deposited her on the sand in a heap

I hope they come back

They have to come back

She stared at me silently and then cauy who has been taking care of her She had her hands out and, with her slow shaerous as a pissed-off puppy I walked away from her

I pulled the spear out of the sand and walked back toward her with ot closer, Ito throw it If she keeps this up, I will never get off the island She just scared off my first real rescue attempt Dammit!

Life and death Er, death and death I could have just ended her then I could have ended her any tiain If I killed her, I would lose my only companion

Maybe I will kill her tomorrow

Day 17

My Girlfriend Wants Some Tiht on the little palnored her snarls I half hoped those guys would return in the ht and kill her for uess I am just too chicken shi+t

What if they never come back and I am stuck here for years? Years with her She will probably fall apart before a month passes I doubt her body will be able to hold up to all the crazy stuff on the island So to wander into the water one day when I'ht, but I had to do it behind the lean-to so she didn't see it After al fire I have never threatened to push her in I don't knohy she goes bat-shi+t insane when she sees the flames She's like a child that has been burned and knows to fear flames But as far as I know, she hasn't been hurt by fire Stupid Franken-zombie-chick

Read the stupid roht The book was about a wohter husband in a massive inferno at a skyscraper He so, but he went in one last ti it a day and cracking open a cold one Now she is settling for a cop, but she is scared that he'll be killed in the line of duty And, as if she didn't have enough problems with men, she has a crush on her boss at work God, what a stupid story Who thinks this stuff up?

The book did get hile floating around in the big hunk of luggage, so it was crinkly Every ti to fall out Too bad she pissed me off so bad Otherwise, I would've read to her She seems to like that

The mosquitoes were pretty bad I've found that they stay ahen she is near They certainly don't land on her and bite her If they tried to bite her, I wonder if they would catch the virus? Oh no! What if they passed the disease ontoto happen, I'm sure it would have by now, since I have been bitten about a hts I want to roll around in the fire to stop the itching I bet that would scare her off for good Me running around in flames

I lay awake and wondered how to kill her I kneould have to so a rock, but if it was small, I would have to hit her a few ti people I really didn't like the idea of seeing her putrid brains splattered on the sand
