Tessirons, Chapter Seven
Why are Adult Partners of Time Zombies meetings always in church basements?
Why are we drinking bad coffee at 7pm?
Fuck, there's Julie. Fuck. This ... isn't ...
It's my turn to speak, as we go around the circle.
"Hi, I'm Jon, and ... I've turned into a Time Zombie since our last meeting. My wife told me a spoiler."
"Um, maybe I shouldn't be here."
I look over at Julie. And she looks at me, she looks at me, like she knows. A combination of lust and fear and violence wracks her face. She, gets up, and runs out.
I run after her.
Knocking over my coffee cup. Who even needs coffee anymore. Who is the person running after her. Did I turn Julie into a Time Zombie with a glance. I run after her. I know exactly where she's going.
