As the truck’s motor rumbled to life and led them into the cornfield, Sydney held on to the side of the truck. Her knuckles were white. So was her complexion. “You know,” she said, “this is a very perverse thing to do to a girl with a stalker.”
Preston gestured toward a scarecrow that was reaching out to them. “See, I disagree,” he said. “I think fake scares help us process the real ones.”
The two girls sitting next to them screamed in unison as a zombie ran out of the field, waving his green arms around like a cartoon character.
“See that guy?” Preston continued. “You know he isn’t really going to eat your flesh.” He waved at the zombie. “Good job, Ernie! Nice makeup.”
The zombie, apparently named Ernie, stopped running and gave Preston a big thumbs-up.
Sydney laughed and eased her death grip on the side of the truck. “You really do know everybody in this town, don’t you?”
“Even the undead,” Preston answered.
They rode deeper into the field. Three zombies, two scarecrows, and one laughing witch-woman later, the truck entered a clearing that had been decorated to look like an abandoned nuclear site. They passed big, rusted cans with oozing, glow-in-the-dark toxic waste.
Sydney leaned over the side of the truck to see what was inside the cans. She wanted to know how they were glowing. When her face got a little too close to the can, a neon green zombie popped out and screamed at her.
Sydney jumped back, falling into Preston’s arms. She was speechless for a second. Then she started laughing harder than she’d laughed in months.
“It feels good, right?” Preston asked.
She wiped the tears from her eyes. “It does. Who knew?”
