the streetlights are on

Ari's frustration didn't abate when she'd thrown herself down dramatically, but suddenly her mother was looming over her. A zombie she was a zombie! What was a zombie??? Didn't matter! Aris gave a piercing shriek of delight and thrill as her zombie-mom moved slowly, great big maw open wide to swallow her up. "Nooooooooo you can't eat my brains I need them!" She threw herself to her side to scramble onto her little puppy legs and then, instead of running away, threw her tiny body against her mother's belly in a fierce and probably extremely ineffectual tackle, though Zee would likely have a puppy-shaped mudprint on her underfur. Still shrieking a gleeful battle-cry Ari made her very best attempt to wrestle her much-larger mother, chomping and clawing with her tiny puppy weaponry as she did. The thrill of a much scarier Zombie Mom instead of Prey made it way better!
