I read this as part of the zombie collection, "Zombie Pandemic", as the intro piece. As a zomcom set in an Indian restaurant with hapless owner Suleman and his slow nephew Mandeep "Deep", the story had some humorous moments. At first, I sympathized with Suleman and his misfortunes in running his shack of a restaurant, with its Widowmaker main dish, advertised as the hottest dish created. Despite his penchant for offing his customers for non-payment and stringing them up in the shed, Sule and his slow nephew were actually pretty hilarious. The incident with the health inspector, and his dream of being a trapeze artist, was very nicely done. For any indie story, this was blessedly free of grammatical errors, something for which I am grateful. And, I'm also grateful for my app that allows me to check on the health inspection reports for local restaurants. :)

Great short story about zombies. Characters were awesome and imaginary. Good story line and development. Waiting on next short story.
