Writing:
Name: Harry Larson
Keywords: tall, smelly, long hair, acne scarred face, intelligent.
First draft:
Harry is a tall man that was once human, but now his rotting flesh tells the truth of his current state. He is a zombie. The stench of his rotting flesh also announces his presence long before his pitted face becomes visible. Most people assume that his scarred face is a result of him being undead, but he has always had those scars as a result of horrible acne when he was a youth. Most folks assume that, as a zombie, Harry is stupid, but he actually quite intelligent.
Refinement:
Harry swung his acne scarred face around to face the odd sound. He knew that as a zombie he was hunted and hated. Most zombies are mindless killing machines, but the tall former man managed to retain his high level of intelligence when he was transformed into one of the walking dead. The zombie’s sight is not as good as it used to be, but he could still see the three men stalking him in the night. Harry pulled his long hair back into a pony tail to face down his pursuers. He has tried to talk his way out of fights in the past, but the horrible smell of his rotting body parts won’t allow this tactic anymore. When he is discovered by the living, fighting is Harry’s only recourse. Even though he didn’t need to brethe, Harry forced air in and out of his lungs in a hard sigh as he turned to face the trio.
I know I’ve done a zombie post recently, but I figured I would try it from the zombie’s point of view. This character may actually be a little fun to write about. If I do, I’ll change the name from Harry. It was the first name that popped in my head, but there are quite a few famous fictional Harry-named characters out there.
