[Marionette Zombie 11] • The Time Between

This is what happens when the dead don't stay dead.

A shard of light came through a hole where the chimney met the roof. The big tree limb stuck a few feet into the room. She jumped up and started trying to climb the brick chimney. There were pegs in the masonry along the front. She lifted her foot as high as she could to step up. It was too high. She dropped the poker and grabbed the stud protruding from the wall that had held the mantle. She pulled herself up until she could get her foot on the iron pegs. The latch gave way. The first two deaduns fell into the room. She screamed. She climbed.
