Zombies V Nun: Chapter Four
Pearl Learns To Use A Chain-Saw
✯✯✯✯✯
…..into
a hedge of boxwoods. Luckily, boxwoods were fairly cushy shrubs, although they
also offered a bit of support. Caleb and Pearl stood up, brushed themselves
off, and sprinted towards the garage.
Caleb
flung open the doors and Pearl saw the sweetest sight of her life.
A
shiny, cherry red Vespa with a little wicker basket on the back. If it hadn’t
been for the gnarled hand sticking out of the basket, it would have been just
perfect!
“Urggggggh!
Urrrrrrgh! Uuuuuuurgh!” Father Thomas reached for her with his stump of an arm.
Pearl whipped the potato masher from her belt and slammed him across the
forehead. She never really liked Father Thomas very much.
“Take
that, you….you…Heathen!”
Caleb
chuckled. “We need to work on your cuss words, Pearl.” He swung his knife at
Jimmy the Toilet Bowl-Brusher, and decapitated the poor, slobbering undead
hired hand.
Pearl
continued to smack Father Thomas with her whisk and potato masher, but it
wasn’t having the desired effect.
SLAM!
Pearl slashed his head with the whisk.
“Uurrrrrgh!”
Father Thomas rubbed his forehead in a bewildered manner and lunged again.
SMACK!
Pearl banged the potato masher against his bloody, pus-filled crusty ear.
“URRRGGGGH!”
Father Thomas yanked the kitchen utensil from her hand.
“Darn
it, Caleb. I need some more effective weapons. These kitchen tools just aren’t
cutting it!”
“Nice
pun, Pearl!” Caleb lifted a shovel, chain-saw and pitch-fork from pegs on the
wall. He fired up the saw, tossed it handle-first to Pearl, and egged her on. “Let
‘er rip, baby.”
Pearl
ignored the rude term of endearment, swung the chain-saw around, and made quick
work of Father Thomas’ ghastly noggin.
Her
skirt was tattered, her shiny shoes were covered with bile and bits of flesh.
Her veil had fallen off in the boxwood bushes, and her pristine habit was now
speckled with blood. But Pearl didn’t have time to ponder her embarrassing
appearance. She and Caleb dashed to the Vespas, turned on the ignitions, and
roared out of the garage.
And
straight into Hell.

Oh, Pearl! You are a bad-ass nun!
