The President raised the gun and tried to aim for a head. But his hand was shaking so badly he couldn’t focus on his target.
Then, a grim realization came to him. The two zombies coming for him looked familiar. “Teddy . . . Teddy Kenedy?” he said, not believing his eyes. “Senator . . . Bird?”
Their flesh had withered on their faces. Their stature was smaller than when they were alive. But, still in death the President was able to recognize his former comrades.
The distinguished men of the Senate showed no hesitation. The President’s cries for mercy mingled with the sounds of two voracious zombies feeding. The two shrunken Senate members seized him in their hands and mashed the Presidents living flesh with their yellowed teeth.
They fed until the President was nothing more than cracked bones, blood stained clothing, and a dream never realized.
The End
