THE ZOMBIE ZONE
Inside the cemetery, about thirty people were clustered in a bunch. Some of the people were shouting. A few were crying.
“What’re they doing?” Ruth Rose asked.
“I’ll find out,” Jack said. He walked over to the group, with the kids following. Jack knelt on a pile of red dirt next to an old man. In front of them both were two deep holes in the ground.
“Two graves have been robbed this week,” the old man said to Jack. “My wife and I are afraid. She wants us to leave here now. She says we can’t stay near zombies.”
