The story starts as follows:
\n<\/strong>Bobby didn\u2019t know her at first. She was wounded, like him. The first thirty to arrive all got wounds. Tom Savini put them on himself.
\nHer face was a silvery blue, her eyes sunken into darkened hollows, and where her right ear had been was a ragged-edged hole, a gaping place that revealed a lump of wet red bone. They sat a yard apart on the stone wall around the fountain, wich was switched off. She had her pages balanced on one knee \u2013 three pages in all, stapled together \u2013 and was looking them over, was waiting with concentration. Bobby had read his while he was waiting in line tot go in to makeup.<\/p>\n

\n

Other information:
\n<\/strong>\u00b7 The story is an ode to director George A. Romero<\/p>\n
