Welcome to the Zombification by T.V. challenge!

1. The challenge is to write a flash-fic story about people literally being turned into zombies by watching T.V.

You can write in any style you like: serious, horror, humour... whatever you like.

2. Word limit: 250 words (you can bend this rule slightly as long as you do not go longer than ONE standard typed, double-spaced page).

3. Post the first two sentences ONLY.
Because this challenge has such a short word limit, 13-lines would constitute half the story, so please protect your electronic rights.

4. The deadline for this challenge is October 20.

5. Anyone wanting to read a submitted story in its entirety may contact the writer by email.

***Remeber to include "Hatrack" in the subject line of all e-mails.***

6.Please do not post any comments here, a separate topic will be setup in Open Discussions.

7. This challenge was spawned by the "What's so great about Zombies?" thread in Open Discussions. If you choose to participate you may want to read the original thread for some background:
