Chapter 11: Reduce, Reuse, Reanimate

sploofilus Fantasy 2 hours ago

Necromancy's fun, once you get past the smell.

Take me for example. Actually, my nose hasn't worked since the accident, and that's fine by me. Means no more obstacles at work. Anyway, I can find work anywhere, and it's always super easy. Need a testimony in a lawsuit? No problem, let me go talk with the victim. Closure for living family or friends? I got you, bud. Cheap labor? Fuck you, go actually hire someone. Cadavers for a zombie-themed haunted house? Absolutely.

That's just the stuff I can think of off the top of my head.

Anyway, you need an extension on life's deadline (get it? Haha), I'm your guy.

Call or message me at XXX-XXX-XXXX or @----- today. My rates are flexible!

Chapter 22: A Day in the life of a Necromancer

Inkshade Horror 1 hour ago

I wake up at 5:00 a.m. every day. One with my talents needs an early start to the day. I usually chat with 2 of my zombies at the breakfast table while I drink black tea and munch some hardtack. Too bad they aren't very verbal, just moans and groans. At 6:00, I listen for the echoes of the spirits of the dead.

I follow their sounds. Wherever I find them, I start asking around for my next gig. Today, for example, I "cured" a sickly child, decorated a haunted house, diagnosed someone with consumption, and dug a handful of graves.

My schedule is flexible, but my long work day usually allows me to go home around 7:00 p.m. I'll commune with the dead and record some soundtracks with my theremin to lull myself and the restless ones to sleep. I dream of the underworld and those who will soon make the journey there.

What happens in the next chapter?

This is the end of the narrative for now. However, you can write the next chapter of the story yourself.
