I will fully admit that I was enjoying the chaos of everything going on. The good scientist was screaming as the zombie rat tried to move into his neck, Eve was screaming when she saw all the blood, and Adam didn't seem to know what to do.
The rat finally managed to get all the way into Doctor Comeau's neck before the scientist started the tremors, which I had begun to understand was the start of the transformation of the dumb zombies.
Letting out a long sigh over the fact that I had now officially lost my new pet, I was surprised when Tank snatched up a white rat that was trying to escape for its life and held it up to the new zombie.
A shrill whistle surprised me as Tank commanded the attention of the zombie. "I can feed you if you will be good. What do you say?" he asked the zombie, who was now focusing on the squealing rat. When it tried to clumsily lunge toward the offering, Tank snapped it back.
