( Someone should have warned me that they're turning Les Miserables into a movie. )

Seriously, this is beginning to sound exactly like the lead-in to a zombie flick.

First, it has been revealed that when ordered to stop eating the other man's face, our Patient Z (identified as one Rudy Eugene) merely "looked up at them and growled" - again, even after having been shot ( Read more... )

Ground Zero: Miami, Florida

Clearly, the guy the cops shot was a zombie. He was eating his victim's face, and didn't stop even after the cops shot him the first time. It took no less than six shots to stop him; the article doesn't say, but I suspect at least one of those shots was to the head.

Last Sunday morning, out at Ft. Flagler, I was helping to clean out the Telesterion. For whatever reasons, it was just me and BB cleaning for a while, working together in what had been, the previous evening (and for days and weeks before) his and his god's Domain.
