Dead!

By Troy Dennison

I remember my death so clearly.
People say that your whole life flashes before your eyes. That didn’t happen to me. For me it was an explosion of light and then a searing pain that vanished in an instant as the .50 calibre Desert Eagle round ripped through my sternum.
I remember my resurrection less clearly.

What do you do when you wake up in a coffin after being mugged at gunpoint? Dead! is a short zombie tale.

I remember my death so clearly.

People say that your whole life flashes before your eyes in that instant before you leave this world. That didn’t happen to me; I didn’t even get the edited highlights. For me it was an explosion of light and then a searing pain that vanished in an instant as the .50 calibre Desert Eagle round ripped through my sternum. Blood, bone, and muscle all merged together in the blink of an eye as my heart was shredded by the hollow point round; and then it was over. My body flew backwards; I heard the sharp crack as my spinal column severed under the strain and then oblivion. Blackness; a complete cessation of sight and sound and feeling.

I remember my resurrection less clearly.

There was a grey fog of awareness, fragmented images, broken and half formed.
