The Daisies In The Fields

He stood outside the door clutching a bouquet of daisies in one hand, clearing so much dust out of his throat. It had been four years since he had last seen his wife, Grace.  He had heard that she had remarried, and had the child they never could. When he had last seen her she had been crying, kneeling in the rain

Aw, man. That sucks so much about missing the deadline. :-\

Still! This is pretty awesome. If I hadn't seen the warning for zombies in your comment, I wouldn't have seen that coming!

I really like this line too: He had picked the daisies on his way here, tender petals of white and yellow, one for each step to this door.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I was debating about giving away the zombie part. In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have said anything.

Ooooh hey. Boondock Saints icon FTW.

Oh my! This was wonderful. It reminded me of a fable mixed with a horror movie XD It's like a romantic zombie movie (story). Too bad about the deadline, but I definitely would have voted for this, Chicky :D
