Title: Revolt of the Flesh
Fandom: FMA (manga version)
Character(s): Ed, Al, Winry and a lot of dead people
Pairing(s): None. (Ewww ... )
Rating: R (for, well, flesh-eating zombies)
Word Count: 2300 (my zombies come in drabbles)
Warnings: Um, zombies? Beware, beware?
A/N: Revised version of my entry for the 2007 FMA Zombie Apocalypse Challenge, written because I'd never tried horror before and rewritten for the sake of eliminating, or at least mitigating, a weak transition, some unhappy word-repetitions and the inevitable typos. Not sure I'll ever do something like this again; I'm not fond of the headspace I have to enter to attempt it. And, yes, it's arguable that I cheated by using [spoiler] to explain the situation, but I kept tripping over one of the fundamental principles of the FMAverse (coincidentally also the punchline to a family story about the hazing of the undertaker's newest apprentice, which makes it really hard to ignore). Besides, this way I got to play with narrative logic and Jungian archetypes. The Brothers Grimm ate my brain long ago. Concrit welcomed with steak tartare.

Dedication: For [livejournal.com profile] nateprentice, who intones the word BRAAAAINS with more relish than anyone I know.
