The Science of Zombie Fighting
Mr. Prentiss, Calculus teacher cum zombie-fighter (or is that the other way 'round?), was among the first to notice the shift in the battle. Suddenly fights that were two to one in the zombies’ favor turned to even odds CONFLICTS. The non-fighting zombies were streaming around the tent to something behind it.
Not through the tent, but around it.
Mathematically, that made no sense.
Prentiss had been at the school when the deputy returned with Pastor Bromfeld. He had heard that the zombies avoided the church, couldn’t even recognize that people were inside it. Did the tent work the same way?
One way to find out. He swung the blade of his snowshovel at the zombie he was fighting, and when the zombie backed off, Prentiss ran for the tent.
