“Are you implying I might be a pimp?”

“Am I wrong?”

“I might have made some suggestions and facilitated the process.”

“True, but why would he lie? He was proud of what he’d done.”

“Getting killed won’t save her,” Denise told him, “You don’t even know if she’s alive.” 

“She might be, and I’m not leaving if she is.” 

“She isn’t. Bandsaw Bobby Burke doesn’t take prisoners.” 

“You don’t know that.” 

“I kind of do, remember I did a ton of research so we could make it look right.” 

This week Paul D. Brazil brings us some noir from the other side of the pond with Anger Management.

It's a bloody good time in the lab as Bandsaw Bobby goes to work in the second to last installment of The New Mexico Institute of Re-Animation.

“Damn I can’t feel it,” he said before pulling out a handful of partially digested flesh and tossing it to the side, “Bastards been stuffing himself with dead body parts all morning.”  

“That’s disgusting.” 

“You’re telling me,” he said as he reached in again, “Found something.”

Paul Heatley brings his twisted version of boy meets girl in Lady's Choice.

Bandsaw pointed at the holes again and once more asked, “Why?” 

“Are you serious?” 

Bandsaw pointed and asked, “Why?” 

“You killed my mother,” Ashley told him, “You stalked her and took her then you dismembered her and spread her body all over town.” 

“No."

“You said someone bit one bit you. Was it one of the re-animates?” 

“Yeah.”  

“You need to get to our infirmary or even better a hospital, as soon as possible.”

“Should we call the cops?” 

“Company policy forbids it unless we know definitively this is a law enforcement situation.” 

“Someone shooting in the hallway doesn’t count?” 

“Not here. We like to handle things in-house whenever possible. With the controversial nature of the company, it’s better to keep a low profile with the police.”

This week Wolfgang Potterhouse brings some futuristic madness with his flash fiction piece Wires.

In part five of The New Mexico Institute of Re-Animation all Hell breaks loose at as ravenous undead mobsters break loose and Bandsaw Bobby gets more people to kill and bring back to life.
