The Bump
Dot woke up to a bump dead on the center of her forehead, above her nose, where her eyebrows detached. She saw the bump when she brushed her teeth; mouth full of the sudsy menthol foam. She spat a wad of gooey paste onto the edge of the enamel bowl and rubbed her thumb on the lump. The bump was small, hard, and ached from the pressure of her touch. When she removed her hand, the bump was an angry red oval.

๐ฏ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฑ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐. Content Warning.
Introduction I saw a story by RJ Stockton and saw that he had changed the font in the title of his piece and I was wondering how he had done it. He told me and I have an idea for a forthcoming challenge so I thought I would combine the two in a story of my own. Then I thought of the song and album by Atomic Rooster called "Death Walks Behaind You" which had a creepy painting by William Blake as the cover. The end of the story came to mind, so the challenge can wait til August.

Occupation: A Zombie Apocalypse Theory-Part 3
When the โapocalypseโ as it was called occurred, very few saw it coming, and the news reports as to why it occurred in the first place were murky at best. Some say it started in Miami. Some say New York or London, but no one knew for sure. What was paramount was the fact that the world at large was now caught in the grip of something terrible. Something devastating. Something that threatened to change the course of human history as we knew it was now upon us. Human beings were suddenlyโฆchanging, turning into mindless scavengers of flesh and blood and killing everything in sight. The media and pop culture had a name for the epidemic sweeping the planet, although few could bring themselves to think that such things could exist beyond the realm of film and televisionโฆzombies.

Occupation: A Zombie Apocalypse Theory-Part 2
3 JAN 2013โ16:20:17 โJuanโs or Felipeโs?โ the driver asked. He was a burly yet bookish figure of a man in his late 20s. His long dreadlocks pulled back revealed quite a deceptive face; one that could show tremendous warmth and humor one minute followed by intense fury and vengeance the next. Barabbas Purify quickly dabbed at his chin, removing a slight crimson stain with a handkerchief. He groaned slightly at a few drops of crimson unnoticed earlier that had made their way onto his prized John Lennon T-shirt that heโd gotten from a friend in New York City. Visibly annoyed by the ever-commercial sounds of Pop radio, his muscular arms completely covered in tattoos of doves, roses and cherry blossoms could easily cause a few double takes. There was certainly more to the lad than met the eye. He reached for the glove compartment, retrieving a small bottle of eye drops. Staring at his weary visage in the rearview mirror, it was evident he hadnโt had a decent nightโs sleep in a while.
