A story borne of a Facebook status update

The other day my daughter Caitlin posted this as her Facebook status:

"it is seriously deader than that cat in pet semetary in here. Do I work with live people or corpses? (yikes, zombie coworkers. nope, zombie coworkers would at least be trying to eat my brains)"

To which I responded:

"You just gave me an idea for a short story ;)"

And the story The Office Zombie was born. I kinda intended it as a joke, but it turned out to be an awesome horrific and funny flash fiction piece, so I couldn't help but try to find a home for it where it would be loved and cherished ;)

I've submitted it to and ezine titled Untied Shoelaces of the Mind, we'll see how that goes ;)
