Support Group in the Village Hall

by Alex Harford

I enter the village hall, stepping over the busted door's splintered wood.

"Welcome." Dave's name is scrawled on a fresh sticker on his grotty cardigan. His wiry face pale, he chews a chicken leg. "Fresh from the supermarket dumpster. I'm not hungry but can't stop eating."

"My leg no longer hurts, but I still limp," says *Abby*, sprawled on a chair, staring at me. "How're you?"

Someone coughs, wet and curdled. I can't see their name badge.

I edge back towards the entrance.

"Leaving already?" Dave croaks.

"Uh...this isn't the kind of zombie support group I thought it was."
