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!”___________________________________________________________________
