Manuscripts Burn: The Neighbors are Zombies 1

Manuscripts Burn

"Manuscripts don't burn." - Mikhail Bulgakov

This site is my attempt to metaphorically "burn" my early work in the uncaring furnace of the internet. We're in between manuscripts right now, however you can still click the following links to see previous stories: Eternity Burning, The Terrifying Revenge of the B-Movie!!!, The Last War, The Neighbors Are Zombies, A Fistful of Zombies, or Maverick, LCSW. Use the link by date tracker on the right hand side of the page to navigate from there. If you want to contact me and you are a human being rather than a spambot, you can use your higher level reasoning to translate this e-mail address: hguderian(at)hotmail(dot)com.

"PILOT: MEET THE ZOMBIES"

TEASER

INT. A WITCH DOCTOR'S HUT IN HAITI - MIDNIGHT
(BO, AN AMERICAN)

BO IS AN EVIL HAITIAN WITCH DOCTOR, OR BOKOR, AND HIS HUT IS FILLED WITH POTIONS, FEATHERS, HUMAN SKULLS, AND ALL MANNER OF STRANGE ECLECTIC THINGS. HE IS BUSY WORKING ON A STRANGE NEW POTION WHEN AN AMERICAN ENTERS. THE AMERICAN IS A FAT TOURIST, REMINISCENT OF MARLON BRANDO IN HIS LATER AND LESS TOLERABLE ROLES.

AMERICAN

I understand you are the village witch doctor.

BO
(Looking up from his work at the American)

Bokor. I am not a witch or a doctor. I am a Bokor.

AMERICAN

Bokor then. I understand you can bring a dead man back to life.

BO

In a sense.

AMERICAN

What about a whole family?

BO SMILES A TOOTHY VILLAINOUS GRIN.
