"Yes, I hear it." I waited a few seconds before informing my brother, "It's a zombie rat. It wants to eat your toes."
In other news I discovered that I can happily try to freak my younger brother out by describing zombie rats and zombie Cthulhu to him, but the moment I mention Weeping Angels I only succeed in creeping myself out. No idea why I fixated on zombies, though. Yes I was just at horror convention, but zombies have never really been my thing and they weren't particularly a thing at the convention either.
Oh, and also another whispered part of our conversation several minutes later...
"There's definitely something out there!"
"Yes, I know, it's by my feet."
I still don't know what was by Tall One's feet, or what I heard further away. Quite possibly a (non-zombie) rat by near our feet, and maybe a dog further away. But who knows what we heard in the dark.
The above conversation occurred while we were watching the lunar eclipse last night. It was beautiful, and I think I got some decent photos. But alas, I took them with my digital camera that I hadn't touched in years, and I'm having technical difficulties getting them onto my computer. I hope I can share them soon, but for now I'll leave it at sharing my (unsuccessful) attempts at scaring Tall One with stories of zombie rats.
Oh, and this photo of my camera perched on Tall One's tripod. I'll also share that. Just because I want to share some sort of photo, and I do know how to easily get them off my smart phone.

Zombies weren't particularly big at the horror convention? Does this mean that the zombie craze is finally running out of steam?
I don't know. It could just be that the focus was Lovecraftian, and although he did write about zombies his focus seemed to be on scarier things. Yep, scarier than zombies. That said, my favorite short film was the only zombie one I saw, which was based on Lovecraft's "Outsider."
