Murder Nails

I tore his flesh, gouging out the tenderest meat with my nails, fingers aching with the effort. It was a harder go than I expected; humans, it turns out, aren’t made for ripping each other apart. Not with bare hands. But needs must, and I was so hungry…

Colour is Sally Hansen’s Flirt, gory text is a possible story opening. Yes? No? We shall see.

(And yes, I cleaned it up after. And, also? You know when you write the same word too many times, and it stops making sense as a word and starts to look like gibberish?

Dark Craft: Walking Dead Embroidery

The talented Rebecca Simpson over at Rebecca Simpson Design has blown my mind.

Simpson decided to embroider some of the comic art for The Walking Dead as a gift for her fiance, and the results are incredible. Check it out:

Simpson says she “[u]sed different amounts of black strands to achieve shading.” The precision is what makes this piece so fantastic. Well done!

CDC: No Such Thing As Zombies

Given the recent cannibal attacks, the Center for Disease Control has issued a response to those worried about the impending Zombie Apocalypse:

“CDC does not know of a virus or condition that would reanimate the dead (or one that would present zombie-like symptoms),” said agency spokesman David Daigle, to The Huffington Post.

Just in case, the CDC has published a Zombie Preparedness plan, available here.

(And make sure to reread your favourite zombie stories; you can never be too ready for Zombie Doom.)
