Excerpt from Scoring

I watch the chick make her way toward my cabin, stopping when she reaches the fresh dead body between us. You have to use some sort of distraction to play the game. Scoring is dangerous without something to occupy the dead bitches. I know people who try to score without using a distraction, but it just ain't a healthy situation, if you know what I mean.

The dead girl takes the bait. She'll be easy, I can see that already. She kneels over the corpse and bends down to eat from the open wound in its stomach, pausing now and again to lick the blood from her thin, crusted lips. Her attention is completely focused. She won't even know I'm there. I can score and be gone before she even finishes her meal.
