Sullivan had always known the zombie apocalypse would come and had prepared for it. No one was better at making make-shift weapons and Molotov Cocktails. So when the alarms went off all over the city and radio and tv showed the hordes of moaning, shuffling undead, eating their way through the panicked city population, Sullivan wasn’t surprised. No zombie would ever catch him unaware. He roused his housemates and ordering them all to a defensive position he then ran to his stash of Molotov Cocktails……. To find they weren’t there.
“What the…?” Sullivan exclaimed and rummaged through the closet where he knew they should be one more time, but the Cocktails were truly gone.
He turned and eyed his troops. “Anyone seen the Molotov Cocktails?”
Silence…
He let his gaze wander the assembled animals one more time and frowned when he saw that his brother Angus wouldn’t meet his gaze. “Angus, where are the Molotov Cocktails?” Sullivan asked with a sudden feeling of dread.
His brother coughed and fumbled with his baseball bat a bit. Sullivan tapped his foot and shot Angus an angry look. Angus finally stopped his fidgeting and shrugged. “We did have a couple of barbeques lately,” he said as if that explained everything.
“And?” Sullivan snapped.
“Well, those Molotov Cocktails work great as lighter fluid. I used them to start up the barbeque.”
“All of them?” Sullivan almost screamed.
Angus nodded, the tip of his ears turning pink in embarrassment. “You know how hard it can be to start up a fire,” he defended his actions.
Sullivan shook his head in disbelief and put his trotters to his forehead. “And how do you think we’re going to defend ourselves now?” he asked. “We don’t have any firearms, only close combat weapons. Those Molotovs were meant to keep the zombies at a distance.” Angus kept quiet and for some minutes the two brothers stood there glaring at each other…
“I think we will need to report our situation and ask for help,” Voodoo Bride finally spoke up. “Maybe they can send us new Molotov Cocktails or better yet: some flamethrowers and Uzi’s.”
Sullivan and Angus stopped their glaring and after some debate everyone decided Voodoo Bride’s suggestion was a sound one. Sullivan ran over to the computer, relieved to find he still had internet access and started writing:
From: Sullivan McPig
To: vvb32
Subject: Zombie apocalypse Update
Out of Molotov Cocktails!
Please send help.
Flamethrowers and Uzi’s more than welcome.
As he was about to hit the send button his brother spoke up one more time: “Don’t forget to ask for some veggie burgers and corn on a cob. It looks like it will be great weather for another barbeque next week.”
