I couldn't hold back the smile on my face as I saw the zombie so close to me. I ducked to the left side, making sure that I was out of range of its claws or teeth, and, bringing up the knife in my right hand, I sliced his head clean off his neck.
Straightening up, I looked at the zombie halves in front of me. Did I burn the head and hoped that the new one was smarter than the old one? Or did I burn the body and not have to worry? Since I couldn't be sure either way, I walked over to the head and watched as the neck grew longer until there were shoulders. Knowing I didn't have a lot of time to make my decision, I looked at the head.
"Submit or die," I told it, and I watched as the circular, ball-like head started to roll around the ground in fury. "Chose now. No matter what the outcome is, I am still going to be the Alpha of your horde. The only difference is whether or not you are alive to see it."
