Welcome to Fiction Friday. Every Friday I share with y’all a glimpse into the mind of Zach the Zombie and some of his friends. Zach is taking a little bit of a break, so I want to tell you about something new.    Earlier this week, I saw an email from friend and mentor, Jeff Goins, talking about a new book, Dislocated, coming out next week (on Halloween) from his friend Max Andrew Dubinksy. Now, I’ve been really tired. I’ve been behind. The last thing I need is another thing to read and review on a deadline.   But I trust […]

Welcome to Fiction Friday. Every Friday I share with y’all a glimpse into the mind of Zach the Zombie and some of his friends. After the excitement of Zach’s entry into the City, I thought I’d share some very early sessions with Zach talking about history.

The low trees and scrubby bushes don’t provide a lot of cover, but I […]

You know the drill–this is not really edited. I appreciate your grace and forgiveness for all the flaws!   I walk more slowly back to our camp. Delaying the conversation as long as I can. “Arthur, I don’t know what happened. The spot was perfect. I was halfway up the wall. I felt great. And then I didn’t.

Welcome to Fiction Friday. Every Friday I share with y’all a glimpse into the mind of Zach the Zombie and some of his friends. Last week, Zach found the perfect spot to climb the City wall. You know the drill–this is not really edited much. I appreciate your grace and forgiveness…   Trees look different from above. Everything looks different when you’re hanging thirty feet up a stone wall by your rotting fingertips. I glance up and wonder if this is going to work. My heart pumps just a little faster. Then I look down. Mistake. My head snaps back; I […]
