Part 10 (2/2)

I untied her after breakfast and let her thus on her, but no spiders this time I flicked them off but didn't eat any Since the shark incident, I have been scared to eat anything that has come in contact with her or her zo so slowly it seeet to the raft I was excited and scared at the sa my trust in the water, which was a bad idea, since I can't swi over the last uess as a last resort, I could eat some of the berries before I went under, then I would come back, just like her

But then I would be a zo could I walk around the botto predator atearound in circles for days when a big whale sees my undead ass as a quick snack

A zombie whale! That would teach some whale hunter What would Captain Ahab have done if he was hunting Moby-fucking-zo and gone back to being pissed off at the world

She clu back I threw a couple of pebbles at her, but she just kept on going She stopped under the tree her husband was in and stared at the trunk for a while Then she turned around and walked the other way, like she was a guard or so ti Can she sense that this is our last day together? I went to her and took her hand to lead her to the streaive her a farewell bath I mainly splashed water on her, but she didn't even react So I sat her down in the end of the stream and let the water rush over her for a while

She looked at ood eye, then snarled and snapped a few times I washed her hair and even tried to use so clumps of it came out, and I had to toss the to oing to be so lonely”

Snarl, snap, snarl

I should write a country song about how ot her snarl back

”I'll come back for you Really, I will I'll come back with a bunch of scientists, specialists and doctors, and ill do everything we can for you Or bash in your head I won't lie, though, baby They ht want to take you apart and slice up your brain”

She just stared at me, so I helped her out of the water and let her dry as alked Her skin was so cold when I held her hand with its it bothered me, so I took her other hand and led her back to the beach

I was having second thoughts about bringing her with ood idea to leave her Without me, she would walk into the ocean within a couple of days, and then she would be lost forever-or until she walked out on so people Hoould I prove my story?

I supposed I could tie her to the tree, which would make it a lot easier to find her when I came back But I was almost out of rope, so if I tied her up, she would be on a really short chain, unable to move more than a few feet from camp I doubted it would even work She is a crafty little zombie She has becoure out a way to secure her to soures out a way to escape

I could tie her up in the tree so any potential predators wouldn't get her But then I worried that birds ht peck pieces out of her body Not that there are a lot of birds around But even one or two could do a lot of daht turn into zoht carry the disease to soet her body up in a tree?

I already knehat I had to do I just wasn't sure how to do it I knew that I couldn't leave her here I have known it for a while, but I didn't want to ad her with me I didn't have room on the raft, and how could I control her? If I tied her down and the raft caht float away I couldn't put her in the tail section We couldn't both fit Besides, she stinks and is falling apart And I would have to spend allsure she didn't bite me

I went back to the raft and looked it over It was so pathetic that I barely had roo withup a fewthe beach and thought I spotted a big sea cucuave up when I realized it was probably just a rock

I wandered even farther but didn't find any treasure This section of the beach just doesn't attract that --and blamed it on the sun hello, cruel heat Why do you have to playintellect?

I took a step toward the trees Then another The noise was getting louder, and I was starting to think it wasn't related tovoices, and they weren't inlast? Here I was, all set to run e, and the cavalry had finally arrived That was justonce that if it weren't for bad luck, you wouldn't have any luck My luck was so bad it was trying to ass fuckwith my mind

Another step and then I was in the bush I moved toward the beach where the islanders had o? ATime wasn't really my friend here When I was at the hotel, I sure wished time would stop

Stupid time

But back to the voices-the ones NOT in my head

I stepped faster, sure footed like a bush hunter If this was Africa, I would have purchased a cool hat and hen I arrived I ht even have a leather jacket, because that's what the faht be a hundred and ten, but nothing broke his cool

The beach was just ahead, and I was now able to e but people A lot of people More people than I had seen in weeks

I should run out and greet the to offer, like a tray of ice-cold coconut slices What the fuck was I thinking? As soon as they saw me, they would probably try to kill me I had chased them off last time, even if I didn't et out of their boats I was pretty sure it was the same visitors as before They wore the sa boy with the tropical-print shi+rt What, was it on sale at Village-R-Us?

They didn't look so happy go lucky this ti uys were arriving eapons They had huge shi+elds ether They were also building a whole stack of spears Then one of the that looked like a blow gun Or a really long pipe If it shoots darts, then it is silent but deadly in a different way than the coconut-powered gas that I seeular basis

Ah, shi+t They were here, and they were here for hness The princess zombie had finally drawn the attention of so about her rotted state I had to get off the island, but how could I make a run for it if they had those cool boats? They would be on irl and bye bye, big Hollywood paycheck And maybe bye bye, my life

I needed a plan I needed a way to distract theet off the island without getting irl filled with holes There was no way I could be sure they would let es, headhunters even! Maybe that hat they were after all along!

I took a few deep breaths and then went to retrieve her

I ledthe orn path to the little lake I was so fond of spendingto hide her soo back and take care of the to take care of them

I used some rope to tie her in a neat zoether, I was able to tug her into the water Now this may co like dead weight, she floated I dragged her corpse out to the center of the lake, took a deep breath and then swam for the bottom

Once I had her on the floor of the lake, which was only seven or eight feet deep, I was able to drag a few large rocks to hold her down there A few bubbles rose to the surface, but as I sank her, they stopped when her lungs were full of water

It was ti to do what I did best

I was going to hide

Day 30

My Girlfriend Hates Long Goodbyes

Night fell It fell hardI've alanted to say that

I found a nice little cubbyhole up above the waterfall Not much space, and it smelled like shi+t Pretty sure an animal lives in here I wish the little bastard had iant leaves over the tiny entryway and waited I heard the e that le word

I resisted the urge to look at them, to peek between the leaves and see what they were up to Of course they passed irl where she lay on the bottom of the lake I hoped there were no piranhas or other carnivores in the lake If she got eaten, I was not getting ht fell, as I said I waited and waited until the h in the sky as I have ever seen I crept out to the camp the islanders had made and found them passed out, surrounded by these wooden containers that un was not a gun at all It had a pipe end that was filled with souys up to?

To make iant pipe Holy shi+t! Were they s the zo for blood, I was so far beyond fucked it made my head spin
