Day 3: Samanther and the Zombie Factory Chapter 1

[Black Hand Smith]

Chapter 1. The Great Competition, The Winners...and the Losers.

 

Long ago..Probably before you were born, there was a Man Who Produced the Most Amazing Scientific creations of All time. Of course, he couldn’t do it all alone. With the help of all the Scientists who were sworn to Secrecy This man Created Drinks that could alter your genetic code, weapons that could shrink a man to the size of a child and of course...he also Created Zombies. However one day the Gates to Der Riese simply closed due to Spies being sent in. From that day forward not a single peep or shout or even a snarl could be heard from that old factory. However if you ever looked up at the factory you could see smoke rising from the chimney………

 

Samanther was an ordinary Child. She was also Batshit insane. So insane that the thing she Most admired about her town was the Factory where Zombies were made. For you see, in a world where work is necessary at cheap cost Zombies are the easiest to force into labor. That wonderful man was able to Tame the undead somehow. No one knows How he does it and it remains one of the greatest kept secrets in the entire world. Thus when the Factory was opened Tycoons, shop owners and Big corporations swarmed to buy their own Zombie Workers. Workers that did not require Pay or Food or any of the basic Necessities. Nowadays it was insane if you didn’t own at least one Zombie to work around the house.

 

However Samanther who came from a poor family in fact she had no Family and did not own a zombie Slave. Her only companion and helper was her dog Named Fluffy. She thought nothing would change until one day certain events would be set in motion that would change the world forever. The first event happened during the dark of Night. An army of Zeppelins rose from the Factory. The first sound to be heard in years was the sound of Paper falling from the Sky. Each note carrying the same Important Message for when the people of the World. Far they traveled delivering their message and in the Morning Samanther would awake from a knock on her door. At the Door was her friend Edwardo her Silent, Brother/Lover/Unspecified relationship status friend. In his hand was a large Piece of paper. This was a very important notice.

Samanther read the notice again and again. She always Admired the zombie factory. Samanther also Knew she could not afford a Zombie or a perk of her own. So instead She decided to do the next Logical thing…..Steal it. Samanther Rode into town on top of her dog Fluffy as if it were some kind of Horse. For the Next Few days Samanther spent her time Near the shops and following people who had just made purchases. However despite her efforts she could not locate any of the Golden Tickets. Until One day the broadcast went out and the first Golden Ticket Had Been found by a Man Named Nikolai.

 

Reporter: So How does it feel to be the first person in the entire Globe to find a Golden ticket?

Nikolai: Well, It feels Fantastic! However I do not remember how I got it. All I remember is getting really drunk, passing out, then when I woke up I HAD THE GOLDEN TICKET!!!

Reporter: Well Then…..umm...It sure must feel Great I think we should cu-

Nikolai: Come have a Drink with this Old Russian!

Reporter: So how does your Wife Feel about you Winning? is she Excited?

Nikolai: Er Yes...Um..My wife...She’s Taking a Long deserved..”Vacation” right now it’s best we don’t disturb her.

 

The Reporter Signaled for a cut and then the screen went back to the Reporters. Samanther was upset she hadn’t found this man First otherwise she would have taken the ticket for herself. That Night Samanther went to bed disgruntled but still hoping she would be able to locate one of the other 4 winners.

 

The same Thing Happened a few days Later, The Second winner had Been found. A violent man named Dempsey. During his interview he almost shot the News reporters in front of his house.

 

Reporter: So how does it feel to have found a Golden ticket?

Dempsey: IT FEELS AWESOME!,

Reporter: So tell us...How Did you find the ticket exactly?

Dempsey: Well you see, I always go Shooting on the Weekends so That takes up a lot of ammunition . So there I am Unloading these Boxes when suddenly I notice a piece of Golden paper! A GOLDEN TICKET!

Reporter: So you are a Hunter then?

Dempsey: Nah...I just shoot stuff, Cans, Deer, Dummies, cars, Pretty much anything I can get my hands on! i used to shoot Japs and Germans During World War II! Hell of a Good time! Sometimes I just get the Urge to Blow some shit up! OORAH!! I Hey , check this out, Sometimes I feel like shooting something a Little more ...Human...so i set a few of those freakbags loose and hunt them.

 

The Third Man was a Japanese Gentleman named Takeo. On his walls he had many Samurai Swords on Display as well as uniforms from some of His earlier war Missions

 

Takeo: To Have received a Golden ticket is Great Honor, More Honor than any man could have in his entire life. Who else but me to Find a ticket?

Reporter: So how exactly did was this Honor bestowed upon you? As in Finding the Ticket, Give us some details Good Sir..

Takeo: It was Night and I had just laid my Katana to Rest. When I heard the Most Dishonorable sound ever. The sound of one of my new Zombies running amok. So I went into the Zombie Quarters and found it Eating the Feed. Stealing food is Most Dishonorable. I immediately Decapitated him to Cleanse him. However what do I find sticking out of his neck? Something Shiny, something Gold… My ancestors have looked upon me and shined Honor onto me their most worthy Descendant.

Reporter: Okie Dokie then...I can see you are a very..”Ahem” Honorable man… Well...Until next time folks

 

Apparently Next Time would be the Following day when the 4th Ticket Had been found by a Man named Edward Richtofen.

 

Richtofen: You see a Man of My profession requires a lot of work and with said work I keep running out of Specimens to Test. I usually have truckloads of zee swine delivered to My laboratory. However last Night I found Myself in battle with a Pesky Monkey who stole My SPLEEN!! So I caught it and I stuffed HIM!!!

 

He Pointed at the Wall where a Stuffed Monkey sat staring blankly forward

 

Reporter: Um...what about the Ticket? can you tell us more about that?

 

Richtofen: Aaaahhh...Yeesss the Ticket. Well you see when I went back to my work I noticed a Sliver of Gold Paper inside the stomach the stomach of the Filthy Beast. How peculiar! How ...Wunderbar!!! Those test Monkeys are Lucky! Now he can be my good luck charm.

 

Samanther did not hear this from the T.V Though. She could only make out parts of the Interview as she was escorted by a Cop out of the Building. Her Plan to Steal Richtofens Ticket was a Complete bust. In fact she could call it her worst Failure Ever. If only Edwardo Hadn’t Sneezed...Sometimes she wished she could Beat the crap out of Him...Samanther walked home that Night Wondering if she would ever really get a Golden Ticket.

 

That night she heard a Knock on her door. Fluffy looked up puzzled, then barked for her master. Samanther opened the door and let Edwardo in. Edwardo had just bought some Items to repair the remains of Samanthers House. Samanther took Fluffy Outside to take a Dump while Edward set things up on the Table.

 

Samanther: Well fluffy, looks like there's only one left...Do I really stand a chance?

The dog Just crouched and continued with it’s business. Samanther Sighed and walked back into the house. when she found Edwardo Staring at something. Samanther Got closer and looked at what he was Holding. Samanther saw the Flash of Gold and before Edwardo could say anything Samanther Smacked him on the head with a Wrench and Knocked him out. She Grabbed the Ticket and Yelled.

 

Samanther: OMG FLUFFY LOOK! I FOUND A GOLDEN TICKET!!!

 

Samanther looked down at Edwardo’s body. Something needed to be done quick. Samanther stuffed the Body into a Trash bag and took him outside in the dead of Night. Quickly Samanther went to the Zombie disposal Furnace and opened the Lid where she dumped the Body

 

Samanther: Nothing personal Edwardo but I want that Golden Ticket

 

Samanther then Sealed the Lid.

 

The Next day she woke up Extra Early. She was ready for her tour of the Zombie factory. Truly this could not lead to...Shenanigans? Right? She prepared her favorite dress…..Her only dress and went to the front Gates. Besides Her were Nikolai, Dempsey, Takeo, and Richtofen. All of them Eager to enter the Factory. Reporters Swarmed Samanther trying to get interviews before the big event. Samanther hadn't done an interview yet since she “Found” the Golden ticket the night before. That was a close call. Before she could answer their questions a loud Voice boomed through the speakers.

 

????: Will the owner of a white pickup truck please come to the parking lot? Your car has been set on Fire by Protesters, Also Will the 5 Ticket Holders approach the Gate…

Samanther looked back at her dog and waved. She calmly approached the Gate.

This is what she had been waiting for

With a Large Clunk The Gates began to Open
