How the West Was Zombed – Chapter 114

shutterstock_32022656927

The Missouri shoreline was littered with wreckage and zombie parts. Slade and Sarah held on to to their furry life raft as he swam to shore. The young wolf deposited his humans into the sand then become a boy again, huffing and puffing from exhaustion.

Slade removed Sarah’s gag.

“Why…why did you call me…”

Sapped of all her strength, Slade’s bride passed out.

“Oh God,” Slade said. “She’s dead.”

Miles looked at Sarah. “She’s fine. I can see her breathing.”

“No,” the lawman said. “Bonnie.”

“Oh,” Miles replied.

The boy sniffed the air. “She’s fine too.”

Slade shook his head in disbelief. “How could you possibly…”

Miles shrugged his shoulders. “My nose knows.”

Slade grabbed hold of Sarah’s limp body and hoisted it over his shoulder.

“Come on!” Slade shouted at the boy.

“You’re going to have a lot of explaining to do aren’t you?” Miles asked just before he returned to wolf form.

“Yeah, yeah,” Slade said as he climbed up on the werewolf’s back. He held Sarah close with his left hand and clutched a clump of fur with his right. “Mind your own business, fur ball.”

Zombie Authors or Vampire Authors?

Hello 3.5 Readers.

As you may recall, last October, in honor of Halloween, I interviewed #31ZombieAuthors.

A) Should I do it again this year? Right now I’m leaning towards no. It was a lot of fun last year and it did help the blog out a lot as authors were kindly sending their readers this way.  But I do need all the time I can get to finish How the West Was Zombed.

B) If I did it, should I interview another set of 31Zombie Authors? (That would give me a total of 62 Zombie Authors)

C) Should I change it up and interview vampire authors?

D) Is there another type of monster author you’d like to see?

I don’t believe there will be a fun ongoing story in between the interviews. It was a lot of fun last year because I was posting daily updates from the ground where I was stuck in the middle of the East Randomtown Zombie Apocalypse and I used Alien Jones’ space phone to call the zombie authors to ask them for advice.

This year I’ll probably just have to just interview them.

Although there is a rumor that Count Krakovich, Asshat Vampire might drop in as a master of ceremonies. Bleah.

I know he hasn’t stopped by in awhile, but word has it that vampire is still a douche-pire.

A Guide to the Bookshelf Battleverse

Hey 3.5 readers.

Do you stumble upon this blog by accident? Were you looking for directions on how to get away from here?

Anyway, the world of Bookshelf Q. Battler can be very confusing. Here is a rudimentary guide that you should read immediately.

Drop everything you are doing, study it intently, and allow all other important doings in your life to be neglected.

Bookshelf Q. Battler.shutterstock_275475362

Our humble poindexter’s life is so vastly complicated that everything you need to know to avoid confusion has been laid out before you as follows:

Part 1 – Bookshelf Q. Battler, the 3.5 Readers and the Magic Bookshelf – or, the Head Nerd in Charge, the people who waste their time on his schlock, and the mystical piece of office furniture that makes his life interesting.

Part 2 – The Magic Bookshelf Characters – aka the little people who are eating BQB out of house and home, when they aren’t trying to blow it up.

Part 3 – BQB’s Family and BQB HQ – Where BQB hangs his hat and the people (and dog) most welcome there.

Part 4 – The Aliens – The Mighty Potentate who has declared that Earth’s fate rests on BQB’s writing career (sorry, Earth) and Alien Jones, the being dispatched by the Potent One to watch…

Take the Ultimate BQB Superfan Quiz!

Sorry 3.5 readers.

I never did post the answers to this, did I?

The answers:

1) C – Uncle Hardass believes there’s no tougher job in the world than working at the salt mines. Whether you are president or a toilet scrubber, if you tell him you have a job anywhere other than the salt mines, he will address you as if you are a lazy bum that has no job.

2) B – BQB was a member of the Funky Hunks. He still gets checks for 3 cent residuals once a year. Some lady in North Dakota keeps buying the Funky Hunks’ jams.

3) B – BQB’s main squeeze is the incomparable Video Game Rack Fighter.

4) D – BQB is the assistant to the assistant to the vice-president of corporate assistance at Beige Corp., the world’s premeire producer of beige products and accessories. It is as exciting as the color the company is dedicated to.

5) B – Indeed, BQB died on the porcelain throne after eating a lightning infused toaster pastry. A bolt of lighting tore out of his tucas with roughly the strength and speed of a thousand jet engines. God allowed him to return for a second chance at life and he has used this chance to entertain 3.5 readers.

6) A – Leo claims to have once delivered a sandwich to James Van Der Beek and therefore as the man who delivered a sandwich to James Van Der Beek, claims that he is the most famous man in East Randomtown. Further, he sees BQB’s blog with 3.5 readers as a threat to his fame.

7) D – The Burger Wagon has not yet sponsored this fine blog, but BQB is currently in negotiations.

8) D – Yetis, backward in technology as they are, prefer Commodore 64s.

9) D – Dr. Hugo invented all three of these fine inventions.

10) C – Intergalactic fast food workers are no better than the ones we have on Earth. The Mighty Potentate has often threatened Alien Jones with vaporization for failing to bring back honey mustard for his chicken fingers.

Really, you hate to be a dick, but you’ve got to look in that bag before you pull away from the window. Don’t trust those minimum wage slaves. They don’t make enough to care about your taste buds.
