It's Saturday again, and you know what that means... :) Jenny Matlock's Saturday Centus!
This one is amazingly on time today because I knew right away what I was going to write about. The prompt is below in bold... and my 100 words (exactly 100 this time!) comes afterwards... heehee... enjoy... :)
I look back over my shoulder, squinting into the late afternoon sun, gawking with stunned alarm at the broad rolling muddy waters of the Mississippi.
I was soaked to the bone; had I really just crossed that river? I paused for a moment to catch my breath and wring the dirty water from my hair, but I didn't have much time. It seemed everything was going awry... and the rivers flooding were just the tip of the iceberg.
A moment paused was too long, and I heard them before I saw them approach the opposing river bank. The lumbering, shambling undead. Their eerie, unearthly groans.
I grinned wryly, slinging the shotgun over my shoulder. Time to hit the road. I was safe, for now.....

This prompt has certainly brought out the ghouls & tension! Great piece!
ick, zombies! great idea!
I don't watch scary movies or read scary books...I know I'll hurt myself running up the stairs from my dark, dank basement....a good excuse to not do any laundry. Great job and thanks for the week off ;-)
I've always said there's just a dearth of good zombie stories in this here blogosphere. Thanks for coming along and rectifying that! Excellent job!
Oooh creeeeeepy!! Well done!
So, are we to read from these writings into the mind of the author, Zombie Queen? I love the imagery of the last paragraph...Peace and blessings
I love this! The last line is great. I think you need to expand and finish this story, it sounds like a fun read:) Kathy
Ooohh, freaky. Not a fan of zombie movies, but this little story ROCKED.

Oooooh, scary stuff. The "I grinned wryly" bit really nailed the mood. Nice work.
Oh man! Oh man! I'm scared and intriqued. What a fantastic direction to take this prompt! You are incredible.
