Al (& Bos Bos) vs Zombie Santa - Zombie Botnet

A Festive Fable Al's in trouble. It's Christmas Eve and he hasn't got a single gift yet. Never one to let the zombie Apocalypse stand in the way of a bit of last minute shopping, Al bribes (with sandwiches) Bos Bos the rather reluctant Labrador to help with his quest. Only problem is the snow starts to fall, Al's autism threatens to send him out of control, and Dingelberrys - the only place to do your Christmas shopping according to Al - is no longer the most peaceful of department stores. Something is stirring.
It senses fresh meat, and Al's six feet seven frame promises to be the best of meals (aperitif of Labrador). Zombie Santa is hungry, the festive feaster is on the move. A standalone novella.
