The brevity of the story was an asset, although it could have had a bit more internal character development. I’m thinking specifically of some idea of the character’s religious/spiritual/philosophical views, considering what he’s experiencing. He comments on the women’s head scarves, it would have been interesting for the author to open his reaction a little more (I could have missed something).

Unfortunately, I’m really feeling zombie burn-out at this point. Not with this website, more with the genre of horror entire. The zombie (and by that I mean Romero-esque version, not the Vodun version) is dangerously close to entering the zone of overexposure that vampires did under Anne Rice in the mid-80’s, eventually leading to them being expatriated into an entire sub-genre I can’t stand and don’t read. Please, zombies, please, say it ain’t so…

Thanks For Listening

“Only the dead have seen the end of war.”

I guess i'm looking for something that hasn't been told before something new and exciting. I also agree with Geoff it needed more details I don't know if it was the fact that you were trying to hurry through it or had no new ideas. Hey but don't give up!</p> I agree with Joe “heard it before” to me it was boring nothing new. I guess i’m looking for something that hasn’t been told before something new and exciting.

Too many of the stories recently have been boring and difficult to finish. This was a pleasant breath of fresh air!

Watch any early horror movies and you have the same story line heck just have a bad dream of running in one spot and the monster catching you. Hey but don't give up just go to sleep and have a few nightmares then write them down! Yes i know were suppose to dig deep into the true meaning of the story and unlock some primal fear that we all have Yadda Yadda Yadda.....</p> The story came across like something i’ve heard before, nothing new.
