SECRET SURVEILLANCE

Since the siege began there has been much discussion about who will be brave enough to step outside and check whether the threat has passed.

All the children were obviously excluded, but Wilson felt strongly that Uncle Zoltan would be the ideal volunteer.

'He could slip out through the letterbox, unobserved, make a stealthy reconnoitre of the area, then secretly return through the gap under the front door to report back!'

Uncle Z, while pleased to be the centre of attention, was understandably less keen on this plan, pointing out that the buzzing of his wings would draw the Zombies' attention to him.

'Moreover,' he added, 'while I would happily sacrifice my life to save all of your lives, (well, most of you, anyway) I fear that I might alert the Zombie Hordes to your presence here…'

Wilson peered out through the letterbox, and intoned in a sombre voice: 'They're still there – the zombies are still among us!'

He considered for a moment, before adding, 'Or should that be "amongst" us? I'm never sure…'
