Day 24 - Jingle

Today a zombie fell out of an oak
in front of me
with its head blown off.
Later, the man told me it was
up in the branches
waiting for a chance to ambush, so he shot it
before it could make its move.
They aren't as dumb as they appear, it seems.

The man showed me a tired smile,
swung his shotgun up atop his shoulder
(the bell attached to the gun jingled)
and told me
Merry Christmas.
