Book Excerpt: Zombie Blues 3: Faithless Zombie

By and copyroght of Owen Quinn author of the Time Warriors and Zombie Blues

The zombie rollercoaster continues as the undead continue to give us their view of being a rotting corpse under the control of Mother Nature.
This time round we meet Comic Book zombie and the zombie who thinks the ending of Toy Story 3 is sacrilege. What happens when a zombie’s faith in God is rocked to its very foundation and why is the spirit of Elvis Presley still going strong in the vast
roaming herds?
A zombie tells why the covid pandemic was much preferable to being undead and why having a club foot makes you feel normal as a zombie. Plus more zombie characters than you can shake a stick at.

Faithless Zombie

“Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name”

Damn those words are so hollow right now. The Church’s reputation has suffered in recent years but never so much as right now.

If ever the world needed you now was the time for God to step in and show himself to his flocks of scared worshippers it was now.

But he didn’t. He wasn’t going to any time soon.

Millions succumbed to the wrath of Mother Nature withering into these shuffling husks beneath her poisonous touch. Gnarled fingers stroked the purity of the flesh surrounding the soul, twisting it into abominations intent on killing every last human on the planet. What was your response God?

Yeah, good one; hide in heaven silently watching us struggle as usual like some reality show you can switch off without an afterthought. It would not be a stretch to say my very soul is broken. But then again that’s been your response for centuries; absolute silence and you wonder why humanity has lost faith in you? According to the Holy Bible you weren’t so quiet when you needed Moses or Noah when the shit hit the fan.

I preached every day to the faithful so they could see your truth in every day life packing my Church every Sunday. We acknowledged your glory as being everywhere from the first golden rays of the sun rise to the miraculous arrival of a baby to the world. How many of those babies lie dead because of your impotence you coward?  Who would have thought that the emergence of the undead would be the proof the world needed to declare you really exist? 

You bore creation in less than a week so therefore you created Mother Nature. By definition her very existence proves that you do exist once and for all. Atheists all around the world are either dead and in your glory or undead like me or confirming their own beliefs as they gaze upon this shattered world of the dead. God exists, hallelujah! So what? How can you silently stand by and witness your own creation be torn apart reducing our ephemeral lives to ash like this? Where does this fit in your great plan the faithful ask? Why haven’t you seen fit to open the heavens, step in and put an end to this horrendous scheme? If this is God working in mysterious ways, it’s certainly winning you no fans. I put on this sacred collar to preach your word to your flock but now another controls them easier than any shepherd could. If my cold dead fingers could rip this collar from my turkey neck they certainly would
