Final chapter of The Alive. Final chapter of the three. Hope it’s not too obvious but if it is, that’s life.

I’ve published The Coppice on Wattpad. It’s really short. Novella length in the tradition of a Palestinian novella.  It’s also available on Amazon in paper. 
          
          Aphotic pine trees stand biblical; as if of microscopic hairs on the albino face of God. His almighty smile is the very bottom of an empty temperature.
          
          Bristles of frozen conifer needles sound like worlds of clocks that will never animate. Never grow to slow again.
          
          Life seems of permanent hibernation. Except the man. His movement in the wilderness is of a handless pocket watch counting down like lead weights sinking beneath a river. A river he comes upon and crosses. Execrates his own movement.
          
          Giant aeries built of jack pines and antlers and spines decorate the coppice. Paths of stumps. Wine dark skin. A boy screams. Ravens laugh. The white on white watches. Teeth like Kavan ice.
          
          Armageddon in his arms. His hatchet. Swings. Chops.

Hello. I’ve been editing God and man are undead for the past few weeks. It’s coming to the final edit, I think. The book is a novella. A horror. It’s about a woman who is chased and chases. There is a burning city, a zoo and a young earth creationist Ark museum. And a giant hyena. This is my zombie book. 
          
          I use the figurative language and philosophy and allusion like my other books, but I think this one is becoming more refined. Less rolling sentences and more concise adjectives. Short breaths in the face of long winds. This is a gore fest for mature readers.
