Sally walked to the shack. Locks lined the door. Something shuffled and chains clanked inside. She drew a steadying breath. “Eddie. I’m back.”
The shuffling behind the door stopped.
“I know, I’m late,” she admitted. “Scavenging got crazy.” She forced a laugh. “Nothing I couldn’t handle.” She began unlocking the door, continuing to talk. She undid the last padlock and cracked the door to peer inside.
Dried blood covered the zombie’s face. Chains bound its arms and legs.
Sally opened the door a few inches more and threw a piece of meat inside. The zombie snatched it up and shoved it into its mouth. Sally’s smile wavered as she watched.
“I better get inside. I’ll see you tomorrow.” She paused. “I love you.”
The zombie paid her no heed, too consumed by its hunger for flesh.
Sally locked the shack and hurried to the house. Inside, she barricaded the door then checked all windows. Secured, she trudged to bed.
Why did she persist? Eddie was gone. That was a monster with his face. The right thing would be a bullet to the brain. But she couldn’t. Not to the man she loved.
Tears pooled in her eyes. “I’m sorry, Eddie.”

Nice story! Kinda sad but shows dedication to the oaths taken.
I love this! It reminds me of the bit in Shaun of the Dead where there’s a woman being interviewed on daytime TV after life settles into a new normal and she’s on there because her family are hosting an intervention as she won’t “break up” with her husband who turned into a zombie. Great bit of flash fiction. 💚
