Living Keto- Several Pre-Packaged Keto Foods I've Tried from Thrive and iHerb

I've had the chance to try several of the #Keto products I purchased from Thrive Market and iHerb.com.


My favorite is the Parmesan Cheese Crisps- these replace croutons in salad and also make a nice crunchy snack. I need bigger bags. 

Mixed Berry Water Drops- Stevia sweetened water flavor- LOVE 

Organic Coconut Chips are a big win for my husband- slightly sweet great addition to a handful of nuts or added to salads or pudding. 

The Coffee Creamer is good, but I like my homemade one better 

Primal Steak Sauce, made with Balsamic vinegar the flavor is intense but if you NEED a sauce this will do 

Coconut wraps, my husband loves them. I'm meh. They are good with fresh grilled chicken, didn't care for them with tuna. 

Ketchup!!! My husband was dying without a keto ketchup, so now he is very happy 

The Gluten-Free Rosemary Flax Seed Crackers are a big NO! I forgot I hate the taste of Rosemary and the crackers themselves are like cardboard dipped in plastic. Gross.

If you want 25% off your first Thrive order click this link 



I purchased these two #Keto products from iHerb.com

Finally a crunchy cracker that is keto friendly and doesn't taste like cardboard!

I LOVE Julian Bakery's Primal Thin Crackers, Organic Parmesan

My husband loves the Eating Evolved, Keto Cups, + Coffee which are basically fat bombs. They are a bit intense for me. I like my homemade fat bombs better.

Excerpt 1:I sauntered out of the room in search of Darius. If he thought he could avoid me, he would need to rethink his strategy. He was in his bedroom with his hip braced against the window frame, staring out at the ocean.“I thought we agreed you would break the bond and leave,” he snapped without looking around.“No, I didn’t agree to either of those things, Darius. Just because you are my mate doesn’t mean you can tell me what to do.” I sat on the end of the bed.His back stiffened at the word mate. “You can’t stay here.” “I can stay anywhere you are. We share a blood link.”That got his attention because he spun around. “I could block access to all my homes...”I sighed and stood up, letting some of my power loose. His arms were pinned against the wall beside his head, and his feet stuck to the floor. “The problem is, Darius, that you belong to me just as I am yours. I have no intention of going anywhere.”I stepped against him and watched as he swallowed and glanced away. He could neutralise every feature, but his body betrayed him. I ran my fingers over his chest to his waist, deliberately moving closer to sniff his mating mark on his neck. “Definitely no nymphs or succubus scents, Darius. You’ll need to try harder if you want to make me jealous.” My breath mingled with his. “We are made from the same energy. If I am unable to stomach the thought of another lover, the same applies to you.”I pressed myself against him, and felt his automatic reaction to my presence. I nipped his mating mark with my teeth, and his quick inhale of breath made me smile. Tracing the outline of it with my tongue, I held onto his waist as an anchor. My lips kissed a path up his neck, even as he held his head away from me. The tips of my fangs dragged against the artery that pulsed in his neck. Sexual tension pulsed off him in waves, and my dragoness purred in contentment.“You belong to me, Darius. Make no mistake, I will annihilate any female you try to take as a lover.” His head spun towards me, and my lips connected with his. I grabbed his head in my hands and poured every emotion that vibrated through my body into my lips. He had always initiated our previous kisses. I needed to show him that I’d made a choice and he was the winner. I refused to let my past paralyse me anymore. Hecate wanted me to be a worthy heir to her magic. I would not allow anyone to hold me back from my fate. Darius tried to resist me, but his dragon had other ideas. I felt him shimmer to the surface as his heat increased, gold flecks flashing across his skin. My tongue demanded entry to his mouth, because every breath of his belonged to me and vice versa. The rest of the world faded into insignificance, my only focus the man in front of me. He struggled against the invisible restraints that held him, his dragon trying to get closer to his mate. I dropped my hands from his face and pressed one last kiss on his lips. “You are mine, Darius. That is as true now as it was four hundred years ago. You can ignore me and leave a room when I enter it, but it will not change the fact that we belong together.”I turned and walked towards the door, releasing his restraints.My lips spread into a smile when I heard him screaming FUCK into the empty room.
Darius had spent his whole life being in charge, but I was the Gaian Enchantress, and I would no longer let my life be stolen away from me. The time had arrived for me to take what was mine.

Feel the Music Touch The Magic - Strange Omens by Jim Stein

Feel the music, touch the magic.Author Jim Stein discusses the concept behind his latest Urban Fantasy, Strange Omens
For anyone who’s run that extra lap or pushed two more reps under the driving beat in your earbuds. For you who’ve toiled into the wee hours, crammed days of work into one, or simply risen to the demands of daily life, all bolstered by your favorite tunes. You, my friends, have touched the magic—that prickling, energizing sensation that strikes chords deep within.
The artists of our airwaves and web, who know our souls so well, have created songs of power, pathways for us to touch the greatness that would otherwise be beyond our reach. Not all music can achieve this, but golden gems that resonate with your being exist right under our collective nose. Listen for it, feel it, use it. You too can have the power.
This notion is what drove the creation of my Legends Walk series and the expanded magic system in book 2, Strange Omens. Through music, Edan Johnson taps into the power of an ancient god’s legacy. As a musician and sound man, Ed has the ear to sort through the morass of uninspired music stained with corporate agendas and finds the glowing gems. His birthright lets him focus those songs of power and call upon the elemental forces of Fire, Spirit, and Earth.
Fire is wild and unpredictable. It can destroy or heal, and proves the most difficult to control. Spirit is elusive, calling for music that uniquely resonates with the caster. Spells won’t respond to the same songs for every mage. From finding lost items to illusion, Spirit is the most adaptable of the magic elements. Earth holds the power to influence rocks, mineral, and metals. It’s guided best with slow, deliberate tunes. When he’s not fighting forces of evil or trying to quell some natural disaster, Ed experiments to tease more potential and uses from each element.  
But there is no free lunch. Even when used for good, controlling the elements demands appropriate music and exacts a toll. Cultivating and training the power takes discipline and practice—something there is precious little time for in the chaotic life that’s been unleashed on Ed. It’s all too easy to lose control of the wild hunger inherent in Fire or the quiet power of Earth. Eternal vigilance is the price of commanding the forces of nature, but always at a cost.
I’ve greatly enjoyed building a magic system around the elemental powers Ed and others possess in Legends Walk thanks to their unique heritage. Native folklore and ceremonies pulled me into regions of the internet to which I’d never ventured. Although I’ve taken creative license with Kokopelli, the horned serpent, and others, I’ve attempted to do so in a respectful manner that doesn’t smack of cultural appropriation.
As the Native American god of song and dance, Legends of Kokopelli fit well into the notion of music as power. I’ve always been fascinated by the reverent teachings of indigenous people and the concept of living in balance with the land. My mother claimed double-digit Cherokee ancestry, which led the family to visit historical sites along the East coast and out to Omaha. Being adopted (like Ed in the series) I hold no such claim on heritage. But who knows, maybe there’s a bit of ancient god in me—although my DNA test didn’t have a column for that marker.
Even if I have no immortal blood, the pull of enchanting rhythms of enticing lyrics reminds me that mere humans can touch the raw energy, draw it into ourselves, and forge the power for what is needed to become…more. This truth lurks just beneath the surface, drawing us instinctively to the music and raw emotional energy—always in the background, supporting and pushing us forward.
So rock on and happy reading, my friends,Jim Stein

Tagline: Who wins when gods interfere?
Book Description:
Recent months in New Philadelphia have been pleasantly monster-free, allowing Edan Johnson to focus on launching the band’s new album. Music brought hope, something the world’s dwindling population desperately needed. But when a mysterious promotion company sends the A-Chords on tour and the audience splits into opposing factions, it’s clear that gods and dark forces are once again meddling.
Ed’s command of music and magic grows strong, but an arrogant goddess decrees he must not interfere. Even his own sister scolds him for casting spells. But Ed connects with the band’s free-spirited groupies and vows to keep them safe from the more sinister patrons flocking to “The Company’s” backstage events.
More hangs in the balance than the simple corruption of a few fans. These happy, bright people could be the salvation of the human race, yet are being drawn in like sheep. Someone or something stalks the tour, and evil lurks in the heart of Old Milwaukee.Magic, monsters, and kindred spirits keep Ed and his friends scrambling to discover what’s going on behind the scenes, but an improbable friendship just might be the key to their survival.

Excerpt:
“What now, Ed?” Trinity asked from my left.We crouched behind a rotting car covered in vines and watched the Grims. Bald Jim looked to be in charge. Shawn sat on the ground at Dan’s feet, head hung low. The bruise around his eye and dried blood on his lip testified to the fact he had gone down fighting. Dan probably wore the Hawaiian shirt and posed as a victim.Trinity had enough sense to tail them without trying a rescue. We caught up to her just before the Grims stopped at a massive bronze doorway totally at odds with the architecture of the ruined city. The thing was better suited for a medieval castle, though I had to admit it was effective. Jim and Dan argued over how best to get inside.“Five of them and four of us,” I said.“They’re bruisers,” Quinn whispered. “No offense, but we couldn’t take any of them, except maybe scraggly Dan.”“Where’s it lead?” Trinity asked.Good question. The out of place obstruction melded into the stone archway across a low entrance to what might be a basement level. The arguing continued as Jim tried an incantation. The door rebuffed his attempt. Oily bits of the magic passphrase dripped to the ground. Though a simple spell, the darkness of it differed from the elements Quinn and I used.“You’re doing it wrong,” Dan complained to the men gathered at the door.“He’s such a little shit.” Trinity’s lip curled.“For once that’s working in our favor,” Quinn said.Dan stalked over to the others, grabbed something small and metallic out of Jim’s hands, and examined the door. Magic formed around another incantation. Shawn sat unguarded at the entrance to the alcove. We scurried out from behind the car, circled the intersection, and crept along crumbling brickwork. The line of the alley kept us out of sight until I peeked around the corner. The Grims argued on, ignoring their dejected captive. Shawn stared at the pavement.“Shawn.” No response. “Shawn! Time to go.”Bleary eyes ringed with bruises met mine. He must have taken a good shot to the nose for double shiners to be rising so quickly. Recognition slowly dawned, followed by half a smile that dropped away. Shawn held up his hands. I’d missed the thin cord that bound wrists to ankles. It was silvery gray, looking more like yarn than rope.“For crying out…” Quinn whipped out a knife and crept forward.The moment her blade touched the cord, there was a flash. Quinn yelped and dropped her knife.“Hey!” Dan looked up from the brass key in his hand.“Just grab him!” I shouted.Quinn hauled Shawn up by his armpits and pushed him forward. The cord forced him into an awkward half-crouch. I grabbed his arm to haul him down the street, but he stopped short and fell to the ground. Quinn and I pulled but couldn’t budge him. No one weighed that much. The cord flashed and flared, its strange power anchoring Shawn to the spot. More than that, a tether of power slowly dragged him back toward the doorway as the Grims advanced.“Leave him. In fact, leave the girl. Two for the price of one!” Dan grinned his stupid parody of a Bright’s smile.Each man carried a small club, undoubtedly weighted for maximum punch. Quinn worked at the bindings. Her strange watery power flowed along the cord looking for a way to loosen the knots. The Grims strode forward, in no hurry and—I like to think—wary. I could have taken Dan and the freak sporting a Mohawk. But I’d spent all year practicing my spells for a reason.I reached for Earth to throw up a barrier and buy us time. Just as I was about to cast, flames leapt up between us and the men, effectively sealing them in the alcove. Trinity stood rigid, locked in concentration as she poured on more Fire and drove them back amid squawks of protest.“Let me try.” I hunkered down to examine the cord.Earth was ready at my fingertips, but when I tried to manipulate Shawn’s binding—as I would stone or metals—there was no purchase. The men tried end runs around Trinity’s flames, holding the woman’s concentration and forcing her to expend too much power. Another minute and we’d have to carry her out. Quinn saw it too.“Help her!”I dredged up a bit of old-school metal, Metallica’s “Seek and Destroy,” forging Fire to bolster Trinity’s spell. I split off a portion to attack the ropes. Fire was an enigma, representing the most restorative and destructive of the elements. I honed the lyrics down to a laser focus, emphasis on the destroy part of the tune to cut and burn. The cord swelled, resisting the heat, but frayed edges soon curled away from the core.Shawn’s invisible bond contracted, yanking him toward the wall of fire. Quinn grabbed him around the waist but was dragged along. Even if Trinity and I cancelled our spells, they would be pulled across searing concrete into the midst of the waiting Grims.

Tagline: Even cursed blood can fall prey to love’s bite.
Book Description:
Kenton Morley and Lawrence Derrickson have hated each other since they were feuding border lords in medieval England and Scotland…seven hundred years ago.When their bloodlines were cursed, birthing the world’s first vampires.
Their feud has carried through the centuries based on an old argument: Kenton seeks to destroy the Cheld—the only line of humans capable of killing their kind—while Lawrence seeks to save them.
It’s said that men can forget, but never forgive. It’s also said that true love knows no bounds.
When the vampires move to Stone Haven, Pennsylvania, Alessandra Fiore will find out firsthand which of those old adages is true.
It doesn’t matter whether she believes in vampires or not…
Because they believe in her. And she’s on the very cusp of discovering her dormant powers as a Cheld—a potential vampire hunter.
With both of these strangely wealthy newcomers’ storming into her sleepy, peaceful town, warning her to stay away from the other, what is a girl to do?
Especially when Kenton—the one that supposedly wants to kill her—has a devilish twinkle in his eyes that she just can’t say no to?
No matter how dangerous she instinctively knows both men to be, strengths and powers of her own are beginning to bubble to the surface, encouraging her that she can take care of herself, thank you very much.
Love and Hate—two sides of the same coin. Literally.
The only thing left to do is flip that coin and hope for the best…to see which old saying is true. And how many innocents bet the wrong way.

Excerpt:
Lawrence was here.Taking a sip of a gin and tonic, Kenton stared out into the distance from the second-floor balcony of his new home. A train’s whistle broke the blessed silence, though “silence” wasn’t truly silent for him, and hadn’t been for some time. In still moments, he could hear shop owners in town putting out their trash and preparing to close for the evening.Even so, the view was relaxing—the line of trees across from him was broken by only one discernible building, the courthouse that stood guard on Main Street. The downtown area of Stone Haven was lined with brightly colored Victorian homes and townhouses. He’d considered purchasing one of the latter, only to dismiss the idea.Too confining.Now, it would seem, the decision had been a good one. If his senses were accurate, and they always were, his temporary lodgings were located just next door to his nemesis. Purchasing the mansion had attracted attention, but no matter. He would be long gone as soon as the deed was done.He sat, making a mental note to request that his maidservant purchase cushions. Apparently the previous owner had not found wrought iron as uncomfortable as he did.Kenton took another sip of his drink as darkness fell. The maid he’d hired from the previous staff—the mansion had been a bed and breakfast when he purchased it—appeared around the balcony to his right. She’d not spoken yet, but Kenton could hear her breathing.“Send him up,” he said without turning toward her. “But from the outside entrance,” he added. “He may not go inside. Ever.”
Whether the woman was startled by his knowledge of her presence—because he already knew a guest waited below—or because of the vehemence of his request, Kenton wasn’t sure. Nor did it matter. What did matter was the man who even now made his way up the winding outside staircase.As Lawrence entered the room connected to the balcony, it struck Kenton that he’d made a critical error. He should have killed the girl—woman, more precisely—before Lawrence had arrived. Now his purpose in Stone Haven would be more difficult to fulfill.“Beautiful, isn’t she?” Lawrence asked, walking around to stand just next to him. He didn’t need to ask who. The man wasn’t talking about his elderly maid.“I’d offer you a drink, but regrettably, you’re not staying.”“How long have you known about her?” Lawrence Derrickson had the sole honor of being the only person to almost make him lose his temper in over seven hundred years, and it would seem he still had the ability to get a rise out of him.“Longer than you, apparently.”He knew the barb would hit its mark, and it did.“Yet you haven’t killed her?” “Regrettably not.”“Why?”Knowing it would anger Lawrence, Kenton took a slow sip of his drink and looked down at the town below them.“A quaint little place. Didn’t expect as much, although I must admit, the only other time I’ve been to Pennsylvania, when—”“I don’t give a shit when you were here last or what you think of the town that you plan to terrorize, Kenton.”“Terrorize? A bit harsh, don’t you think?”He didn’t give Lawrence a chance to answer. “Nice of you to move so close to me, though I wouldn’t have expected you to splurge on such a luxury.”Two mansions sitting side by side in a town of this size. The irony wasn’t lost on him. “I won’t let you kill her,” Lawrence insisted.He laughed, not to taunt the other man, but it did have that added benefit. “I will enjoy watching you attempt to stop me.”“She may not pose a threat. Will you for once listen to reason?”Kenton shot to his feet in an instant, so close to Lawrence he could stun him into silence if he so chose. Centuries of fighting this very same man had taught him not to attempt to kill the Scot. It couldn’t be done. But he certainly enjoyed trying.“She is a Cheld,” Kenton said.For Lawrence, that wasn’t enough. For him, it always would be. “She is,” the Scot agreed. “But you don’t know—”He rolled his eyes, annoyed by the tedious predictability of the argument. “Nor do I care.” Lawrence narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists, telegraphing his intentions as clearly as if he’d punched him. “Are you alone?”He could lie, but Lawrence would learn the truth soon enough—that his siblings were far away from this quaint little Pennsylvania town. Their kind could sense one another, an ability Kenton had more than most, so he did not need to ask the same question about Lawrence’s kin.Clan Karyn consisted only of one man, for now. Odd, since Lawrence usually traveled with at least one member of his precious clan, although a four-person family could hardly be called a clan, truth be told.Nothing like the hundred men Lawrence once led.“I am,” he said. “And so it seems we will have a bit of fun here in”—he waved his arms around him—“Stone Haven.”Lawrence ground his teeth. “Fun? If you call the murder of an innocent woman—”“Innocent?” Kenton lifted his chin. “She is a Cheld,” he repeated. “And for that, she cannot be allowed to live.” He lifted his glass. “A toast to our little secret. And to Alessandra Fiore’s last days on earth, poor thing.”He downed the remainder of his drink in one gulp, then set the empty glass on the table. Droplets of red remained. Mary was none the wiser about the real contents of his favorite bottle of sloe gin. Stepping around Lawrence, he gripped the railing of the balcony and looked down below. “Have fun attempting to save her,” he said over his shoulder.Just as Lawrence turned to walk away, muttering a curse under his breath, Kenton added, “I hope you have better luck than you did in Caltabellotta.”He wasn’t surprised when Lawrence pushed him from the balcony. Indeed, he allowed it. And laughed the whole way down to the ground despite the risk of discovery.
Taunting him had been worth it.

Part of a burgeoning ancient prophecy, Shea's sole focus is to protect her sisters.
Not become mated to a Viking of her dragon ancestor's choosing. If that happens, she might lose not just her independence but a matchmaking gift that brings people together. A gift at risk when she's kidnapped by a stubborn, frustratingly handsome barbarian who takes her on a whirlwind adventure through tenth century Scandinavia.
Though at odds with the twenty-first century beauty from the moment he meets her, Viking Davyn Sigdir steals Shea away to keep her safe from multiple enemies set on making her theirs. Unfortunately, he underestimates how alluring she can be when it suits her. How feisty and headstrong she is as she tries to outwit him at every turn. Yet the fiery strife between them only draws them closer, and soon their unwanted attraction becomes hard to resist.
Determined to control their own fate, they devise a bold plan to trick their adversaries. One that could keep Shea's matchmaking gift intact plus end the prophecy and ongoing war. All they have to do is get along and not give into temptation which should be simple for two people determined to remain apart. Or so they hope as a passionate high-stakes war of hearts ensues in Viking's Intent.

Excerpt 1
“What are you doing here?” Davyn growled into her mind.She blinked at him, only now realizing they must be dreaming together. Wonderful. Not.“I don’t know.” She frowned. “Didn’t you bring me along?”“Why would I do that?” He shook his head. “You tend to bring havoc with you wherever you go.”“Thanks,” she said dryly.“It’s true.”“Says you.” She shrugged and spoke without thinking. “I like to think I bring excitement.”Had that sounded like flirting? “I do not want excitement with you, Cupid,” he grumbled aloud.“Any more than I want excitement with you,” she assured as they stood alone in a darkened area covered by pines. “And you definitely dragged me along somehow because I sure as heck didn’t try to follow you.” She shook her head. “The last thing I remember was feeling drowsy then I was here so I must've dosed off.”“You should not have been able to follow me to this place,” he grunted in dismay, a fierce scowl on his face. “It is too telling.”She met his eyes, catching his drift. “Nope lose that thought.” She shook her head. “Just because I got dragged along in a dream doesn’t mean we’re fated mates. It’s got to be the magic of this place up to no good.”“My magic,” he reminded. “And I agree it is up to no good.”Though she tried to pull her gaze from his, she was suddenly all too aware of his gorgeous eyes despite the darkness. Eyes that seemed to draw her in more than usual in this strange dreamlike state. “Oh shoot,” she whispered, drifting closer even as she tried to stop, as she tried to gain control. “I don’t think I like this dreaming thing.”“It is hard to control a dream,” he said softly, his voice less gruff now.“We’re controlling this dream though,” she denied even as she drifted closer.“Yes,” he assured, drifting closer as well. “Because we are here to work.”“To lure the enemies,” she murmured, her eyes falling to his lips.“That is right,” he murmured, his eyes falling to her lips.“Right,” she whispered. “This is right.”“Yes,” he whispered. “It is.”Then she drifted right into his arms, tilted her head back and closed her eyes, more than ready to be kissed. More than ready to feel once again what those sensuous lips of his could do. Then air blew by her face, and her eyes flew open. An arrow had whizzed by their faces moments before their lips touched.
They were under attack.

Excerpt:
With a crack and rumble, the ground surrounding the cabin broke apart and water burst from the earth. It sprayed as strong as any fire hose up and over the cabin. The pounding force was like a waterfall in reverse, and the flames sputtered and died. She had never seen anything like it, an enormous water fountain extinguishing fire burning that hot. The cabin door, charred and still smoking, flew off its hinges and onto the flooded grass. Three figures ran out into the early morning glare. Asha took off her helmet and slouchy hood, but her eyes weren’t playing tricks. She could see them clearly, even across the distance, and her stomach dropped. They stopped short, facing an army with guns raised. No. “Fire!” “Stop!” Her scream was too late; the soldiers fired. She didn’t have time to act; they were sitting ducks. She prepared for their thrashing bodies, but like a swarm of hovering locusts, the bullets stopped in mid-air and dropped. What? She couldn’t get her mind around the scene unfolding before her. She’d lost control of her body. Her muscles wouldn’t move. “Hold your fire,” Clay shouted, but the soldiers continued shooting. His brothers were the only ones not attacking. They had to be as shocked by the falling bullets as she was. She couldn’t blame them. She was as still and as useless as a rock, unable to move or act, only watch in growing disbelief. Three young women stood against an army. “Asha,” yelled one of the girls, her eyes were even brighter green than Clay’s. “We’re your sisters. We’ve been looking for you.”
Sisters?

Chapter 1
Mary screamed.Shocked by the sound of her own voice, she pressed her hands to her mouth, muffling the terror rising from her lungs in hitched breaths, spasming violently. She hugged her elbows against her sides, could see them. A slow lurching gait, shuffling outside her hiding place. Someone was shouting, a piercing howl as if they were experiencing the worst pain they had ever felt. Swallowing hard, she peered between the planks of wood of the hut. Pool equipment and toys and floats piled around her. If she moved—God! They would hear. And they would come. And they would consume her flesh. Just like they had Billy, her boyfriend. And Greg and Stacy. Pam. Vicky. Sammy, too. And most of the resort staff. Torn apart and consumed just like in a movie she saw once about cannibals in the rainforest of South America—except these flesh eaters were dead. What was left of the pool boy Bruce bumped against the hut.Mary whimpered into her hand, trying not to look at the ruined corpse walking—somehow—despite all rational sense that he should be dead and buried, not moving around, not eating the flesh of the living. His once muscular arms were now riddled with purplish-yellow bite marks, chunks of meat and nerve exposed. Fingers gnawed to the bone. And his eyes were the worst, glassy and bloodied and horrid, but that wasn't just what bothered her. They were vacant; soulless orbs. As if whatever made him human was gone and lost forever.He groaned and bumped into the hut again.Did he know she was in there?Did he hear her? Smell her?Breathing rapidly, Mary's hands trembled against her mouth, elbows pressed hard against her ribs. Suddenly she could hear the Eurythmics song Sweet Dreams blasting from the tiny foam speakers around her neck."No!" she hissed, fumbling with her Walkman clipped to her large plastic yellow belt, searching for the large red button, silencing the music.Mary looked between the wood planks again. More of the flesh eaters converged on the hut. Drawn by the rhythmic music, herding together like a pool of slow-moving sharks circling in the water.She stifled a yelp, but not completely, cursing herself silently for accidently rubbing against the Walkman. The living dead began to bang on the outside of the hut. Gnashing teeth and bellowing a loathing, famished lament."Please!" she cried.The wood of the hut groaned against the pressure of the horde of flesh eaters.Moaning impatiently, cracks began to splinter. A large section busted inward as a bloated waxy arm shot through, grabbing hold of Mary's windbreaker, smearing dark-red grime against the sky-blue bomber."No!" she screamed as the dead man pulled her toward the opening in the hut.Mary held her arms out, pushing against the wall, resisting—unable to keep her gaze from the splintered section in the broken hut wall and the large wood spike that protruded toward her as she inched closer and closer.She groaned, swatting at the rotting hand that held her."Please!" she breathed.Closer the dead man pulled her.The wood spike was inches from her face—her eye.Excited bellowing erupted around her, outside the hut, as if the living dead could smell the inevitable feast. They pounded against the walls, eager and impatient.The dead man yanked on her again, tearing her windbreaker, pulling her closer.She sobbed.The wood spike pierced her eye.She screamed—an unfathomable utterance.The pain shot through her face and into her body like an electric bolt. Trembling, she grimaced, biting down, clenching her teeth as the wood pushed deeper inside her eye. Warm runny fluid flowed down her cheek, tasting of salt and iron.And then the dead rotting man gave one final wrench.The wood curved up as she slammed into it, penetrating deep and breaking the wood splinter inside her eye socket. The world spun, and she fainted from shock or blood loss, or both, she fell to her knees, ripping her tennis shorts and the skin of her legs.All around, the walls came down, and the dead had their feast. Grabbing and ripping away shreds of clothing, hair, pounds of meat. The dead, rotting man that still held Mary's blue windbreaker shoved his head through the wood opening and sucked and licked at the juices on the spike, lapping all the moist cream from her burst orb.Unconscious, Mary was unaware of the things happening to her body.Unaware as dead, worming fingers clawed into her flesh.Consuming.Chewing.Ravishing her red, oily innards.
