  Okay, here’s a question you don’t hear much of in everyday conversation: What’s better: starvation or being chased by a zombie?

  You know, looking back at that sentence, I begin to get an inkling of why it’s not such a popular question.

  It is, however, at the crux of a great new story by Michael W. Lucas. It’s called Wednesday’s Seagulls and it’s available at a great genre short-story site called short-story.me. It’s got some good horror, science fiction, fantasy and crime stories available all for the price of a click.

  In Wednesday’s Seagulls, our unnamed narrator has crash landed on a (mostly) deserted island in the Pacific Ocean. His/her plane, or what’s left of it, is stuck on a rocky spit separated from the small main island by a narrow band of ocean. Which, it turns out, is a good thing, considering the main island’s inhabitant: a seemingly indestructible brain eater the narrator calls Wednesday.

  Two times each day at low tide, Wednesday shuffles forward to try and partake in a little light snacking on the narrator’s gray matter. Needless to say, this does not lead to good sleeping. Nor is it conducive to rational thought, as we learn fairly quickly in this tense, involving story.

  I’d tell you dudes more, but I don’t want to spoil it for you.

  Do yourselves a favor and go check this one out. You won’t regret it.
