Zombie Wine

This wine’s thick, Furio says. It’s like arterial blood. It’s viscous.

It’s like that stuff the Terminator 2 guy is made of, Driss says. I think it’s going to morph into something. Or extend a prehensile limb.

And it’s warm – like it’s alive, Sophia says. Like it’s mulled itself …

And it’s actually moving, I think, I say. Or something’s moving in it. Like a wine shark …

Maybe it wants to escape the bottle, Furio says. Have you ever seen an octopus escape captivity?

I can’t drink something that’s alive, Sophia says.

I think it’s alive in death, that’s the thing, I say. Zombie wine, right?
