Hey all!
This week I am participating not only in Mr. Knowitall's Flash Fiction Friday 55, but am also linking to Ghost Hunting Theories first annual Blogger Zombie Walk.
So here is my 55 word entry for the Zombie Walk. It allows me to feed my addiction to G-Man's 55 and to fulfill a promise to GHT. Besides....it's fun and isn't that what this is all about?

A muffled shuffling sound came down the chimney flue
A muffled shuffling sound came down the chimney flue
as the excited children gathered around the hearth.
Their eyes and hearts filled with anticipation
as sooty dust drifted out toward them.
First one black boot, then another.
Followed by a red and white suited figure.
The children screamed
as the ashen faced creature mumbled
“Brains!”

Yikes. You drove me to turn on the fireplace. (That and the fact the it's soooo cold.)
My one shot: http://liv2write2day.wordpress.com/2010/12/07/rediscovery-a-random-word-poem-for-jingles-poetry-potluck/
great 55!!! thank GOD i don't have a chimney!!!
Scary, creepy Santa. I'll be looking out for him.
It's cold enough here that even the zombies take a pass. Supposed to be -45 tonight (none of that goofy wind-chill nonsense factored in, either).
Glad to have this 55 to get me all creeped out :)
haunting 55.
eloquently illustrated.
Thanks for the chill.
You are starting tomorrow's zombie walk in fantastic style! I wouldn't change one letter of it--perfection!
Zombie Claus eh?
Sounds like a fun thing to do!
Loved your 55 MM..
Zombies are a favorite of mine!
Thanks for playing, and thanks for the chuckle...Have a Kick Ass Week-End...G
Hahaha! Awesome, just awesome! :)
What an awesome zombie Santa story!
Teresa
ho ho hurk...santa has lost some weight...smiles. nice one monkey!
So wrong, but so cool!
Zombie Santa?!!! What a nightmare.
Mine is here
zombie claus? now that IS a terrifying concept!
ahhhhhhh!
That pic is soooo creepy. Excellent 55 MM.
LOL...loved this. A spooky one and your photo is awesome to go with it. Have a wonderful Friday :)
And to think most people thought the spirit of Christmas died when Lidl started selling reindeer steak!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, this one is great!!!
Here's mine
Hope you can find time to visit.
Happy Friday
Happy weekend.
EEEK! LOL, yep, that would freak out even the oldest kids.
I have no fear of Zombies because i have always known they can not take what i do not have.
That is a shocker Yikes!
zombie santa... merry holidazes...
Looks like somebody's been naughty this year! LOL!
Weird 55, MM!
Zombies rule and the internet definitely needs a blogger zombie walk (--an official one, that is--plenty of zombies out there blogging around already imo.) Strangely, as I just made it here, my entry is also zombie-ized, though not in such a festive holiday, christmas-y way. Great minds,etc, and a great 55.
Not so merry Christmas! Yikes! A new take on the holidays.
I guess they won't be having sugar plum dreams this year :)
Loved it, Monkey Man!
A zombie Santa???? The kids will never get over it! :0
ha - monkey man - you've watched too many horror movies...smiles..nice one!
Beautiful. Zombie Santa knows when you are tasty. He knows when you'd go good with milk.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This was freaking EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!! I loved it! The pic at the end just cinched it. Beautifully done, and in so few words! Marvelous!!!!!
LMAO! Santa Zombie, send something down the chimney for me! BRAINS!!!
T-Dear
Ho Ho Ho..love me some brains! :)
Fantastic! Not one wasted word. I love microfiction
OMG! I just saw zombie santa a couple of days ago and he's terrifying. In years to come, kids will be putting out plates of brains for Santa in hopes they'll be spared.
Lovely Zombie 55!
zombie santa was great and the way you penned down made me love madly..
--Someone is Special--
See, that's why we don't put up a tree and there is always a fire in our fireplace!
The creepy Santa skeleton definitely added to your poem (that's what it is right?) However, your words are poignant all on their own. And when Santa comes down the chimney chanting about brains, you know you better run and forget all about your fricken wishlist.
that was fun :) I think I would have screamed too-love the picture!
fun fun, creepy fun!
I even waited to scroll down until I finished the read. Perfect!
Snort. THAT. Was funny. Good one Monkey Man!
Ha! You are such a good story teller, but you are scurrrrin' meh! (BTW, I loved that you incorporated Nadine & Flo in your definition on Friday. Ha! They said thanks.)
Here from Rosaria's. Enjoyed the whimsical ghouly story!
eeeeuw! not quite what i would expect to see either...
Super creeeeeeeeeeepy!!!!
That Goodness it's fiction! :)
But for whackos like me, I probably would have giggled if this happened.. heheheh
Loved your 55, MM!!!!
MM, you seriously crack me up.
