Purpose in Life, Part 2

Dec. 7 – Frenchtown, N.J.

At first I didn’t notice. Kate and I were so shut up in the apartment building that I didn’t notice the smell. It was the light that caught my attention. The flickering that danced even after the sunset. The town was burning.

Editor’s Note: What follows is the “Wrath of the Damned” authors’ first attempt at a Twitter-based short story. The entire short story is composed entirely of 140-character bursts that were posted to the @wrathofdamned Twitter account. You can follow the blog’s Twitter updates, zombie survival tips, and our future short stories at http://www.twitter.com/wrathofdamned.

The rules of the story were these: Any of our five authors could add anything they wanted to the story at any time. But none of the authors could discuss what they were doing with each other or tell each other what they wanted them to do. In that way, each Twitter post acted as a prompt to everyone else.
