A Day in the Life of a Steampunk Zombie Hunter
It's quite simple, really, especially as the title says it all. For this WattZombie/Wattpunk contest we want you to tell the story of a day (or night, of course!) in the life of a steampunk zombie hunter.
Sounds simple enough, right?
Well before you ready your blunderbuss, don your top hat or tighten your corset, we should probably warn you of a twist or two, a spanner we're about to throw into your proverbial works...
Your story must use one of the prompts mentioned below as inspiration. Which prompt you use is your decision and your decision alone.
---
1 - I was never known for keeping good company. In fact some might say society's most nefarious individuals were drawn to me. If they were still here, I'd tell them that's no bad thing for nowadays, with the world in the state it is, only those nefarious individuals, those with cunning and a side dark enough to make the devil himself blush, can survive.
2 - Her mother always told her to be wary of strangers but it was those strangers, those very men and women her mother warned her about, who had made her what she was; an expert hunter, the very best of the very best.
3 - He remembered a time when his inventions were intended to better mankind. That time was long gone for betterment was no longer an option, not when survival took such precedence.

Whichever of the above prompts you use, feel free to make your character male or female, regardless of what it says up there!
