A picture is worth a thousand words?
Then describe this picture in 1000 words or less. Feel free to make it as strange as needed.
A living mummy, an animal zuvembie staring at me from the abyss of time infinite. Scaring me shitless. If in my entire life there was a single moment in which I could have said, "there, now I fucked up for good, I should never have come here, of all the fucking far reaches of space to go and plunder riches from tombs left in a hurry by ancient explorers of Old Earth, of all the fucking places to go why the fuck I chose this small, narrow ship? What was I thinking? I feel the rotten smell of death and now I know the answer is not 42", if there was such a moment, that´s it. I´m dead now.
Ugly dog, angry

ReplyDeleteFriendly.
ReplyDeleteFábio,
ReplyDeleteYou know that chupacabra has your name written all over it :P Do like that word "zuvembie," though. Better than "zombie dog."
Tim,
You have that bad of teeth? :P
Dr.,
I'd hate to see what you consider to be "unfriendly"!
zuvembie was what Marvel Comics used instead of Zombie when for some weird reason in the 60s-70s they couldn't use the real word.
