It's very possible that I missed something, because I was not listening to this story undistracted. But are we sure that there was a zombie, or was it a couple of bored kids with good imaginations?
Also, zombies craving brains is a pet peeve of mine. The zombies of the "Night of the Living Dead" movies have no preference for any particular organ. I think the brains thing started with "Return of the Living Dead," and I might hold this movie in higher esteem if it hadn't so transparently pretended to be a sequel to "Night of the Living Dead." The narrator admits her knowledge of zombies comes from zombie movies, but zombies don't eat brains in most of the movies. This is maybe the stupidest nitpick of a story I have ever written, but it did make me feel that the writer could have been more informed.
I thought this was a cute slice of life in a small town story with a supernatural vibe. I don't think it was horror, and depending on the results of my first question, it may not even be fantasy. Mur's reading was fantastic.
