___________________________________________________________________________ “They’re being torn apart,” the general shouted. “That was the whole reason the Zulu Space Initiative was chosen for this mission, sir,” Kingston said. “What doesn’t make sense is why an alien culture would initiate contact with us and just happen to have a solution to our energy crisis but send it wrapped in an power sphere no human could access.” The dome convulsed again as the cat’s carcass broke the perimeter, followed by the dead Russian a few steps behind. “Don’t let him near that box,” the general ordered. The Russian necronaut headed straight for the energy source as Zulu 1 caught the dead feline’s scent and attacked, biting deep into its side in one sweeping motion. The larger zombie smelled the fresh blood on Zulu 1’s face and wrestled him to the ground, clawing at his clenched jaws. Zulu-2 sprang in from the side, grasping at the animal remains still clinging to the Russian’s lead pole. The Russian turned on Zulu-2, snapping the tension rod. Zulu-1 lashed out at the Russian with a skeletal fist, knocking its jaw from its head. “That’s it, show him how an American zombie takes care of business,” the general said. “Actually, sir, they’re Canadian.” “What?” the general bellowed. “We had to outsource to stay within budget,” Kingston said. “Stars and stripes, just get me that box!”___________________________________________________________________
