Forever Ambergris

[cyberghostface]

This first appeared in 'Tales from the Crypt' #28. Warning for some gore.

Captain Matt Starke tells the reader how he loves his new girl Eileen and how he murdered to get her.

We flashback to him with his first mate Ben Harper asks him to meet his girlfriend. Starke instantly falls in love with Eileen and he can tell that she feels the same way about him. When Ben goes to get drinks, he kisses her.



After getting some information from a seedy gentleman, Starke tricks Ben to go hunting at an island.

Okay, I'm not a doctor, and I don't play one on TV. But I am almost 200% certain that Bubonic Plague doesn't work that way. In fact, I don't think ANY disease works that way. I certainly don't think that there is a disease that can turn you into a shambling zombie the instant you come in contact with it. I mean I know there are flesh eating bacteria, but that takes a few hours to kill you. I mean damn even the T virus doesn't zombify you as fast as this.

'50s, lad. Paranoia triumphant.

Neat idea for the spread of a zombie plague, though.
