They're Tag-Teaming
Jun. 13th, 2007 09:16 pmIt looks like the MBTA launched an offensive a bit before sunset. The trolley drivers, light rail, and bus drivers have been mowing shamblers down as they spot 'em.
An hour and a half ago, I saw a bunch of kids walking, heads down, but checking their backs, you know? So I hauled out my binocs and gave 'em a look-see. I've had the lights off all night, so no one even thinks -- if the dead can think -- about creeping up here.
They were bait. Pure and simple. Son of a bitch, I'll never say an unkind word about the kids from Boston U again. This squad of you-know-whats followed 'em out into the intersection, and up came the Green Line train, barreling up the hill toward the intersection. You could tell the driver saw them, because he sped up instead of slowing down. Plowed right into them zombies. I saw an arm fly up at least 30 feet into the air.
Then, sweet as you please, the B line driver honked his horn, backed up about 20 feet so he wasn't blocking traffic, and let the kids on the train.
I saw the same crowd about 20 minutes later, pull the same trick from the other direction. And there's a bus driving through the intersection about every 5 minutes. I think they're patrolling the major thoroughfares.
Zombies are stupid.
Dammit. Maybe I should be out there, helping.
