Last Zombie Standing #10

          Welcome back to another Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday! It’s your one stop reading shop for some fun weekend reading. This week we’re closing in on the end of my run with my short story Last Zombie Standing. With only one necronaut left, the secret of the box is about to be revealed. If you haven’t had a chance to keep up, I posted links to the older snippets at the bottom of the page. Make sure you stop over at the main site and check out all of the contributions from this week’s writers by clicking HERE. I hope you enjoy!____________________________________________________________________          “What are you babbling about, man?” the general asked. “Deploy Zulu-2’s snare arm and get the package back to the shuttle.”          “All we know is fighting, sir. I mean, even our dead can’t rest in peace. Maybe that’s the message our alien benefactors are trying to tell us?”          “Don’t go all hippie on me, Kingston. We’re top dog for a reason.”          “And what reason is that, sir?”            “Because…we…dammit, I’ll do it myself then.”            A metal grappling hook extended from Zulu-2’s belt, the prongs searching the energized atmosphere.          The glowing sheath surrounding the box faded as the mechanized arm closed in.           “What the hell is that?” the general boomed.           “It looks like a bomb with a plunger on top,” Kingston said. “I told you it was a trap, sir.”
