So... here it is, from "Dead End Job" (working title) which some day will be finished and published.
"Chapter 1-
The day his life
changed forever, he had been up since three a.m., touring the streets
of Chicago on the back of his trash truck. It was nearly daylight, so
he figured it was close to six. He and Mort had just finished up the
East End and they were headed home, just a few more stops.
***
Vince has just
picked up two trash cans on Vicar St. when he saw the body.
“Yo! Mort! Stop
the truck a sec,” he yelled as he jumped off the truck. A dead body
wasn’t that big of a deal in Chicago, but this was the good side of
town. He never saw corpses here. He leaned down and hesitantly
checked the body over. The corpse was a woman, young, probably in her
twenties, and she was nude. She had long auburn hair, pale skin, long
legs, and magnificent breasts. He blushed a little and checked for a
radial pulse. None. He stood up and looked around. There weren’t
any clothes to be found near her. He walked over to the dumpster and
peered in, nothing there but rotting trash and bugs. He went back to
the body, leaned over her again, and knelt down to brush a long lock
of hair out of her face.
That was when her
eyes opened and the corpse sprang to life. Vince yelled, startled,
and tried to step back, but she grabbed him before he could. She
fastened herself to him. He tried to struggle but she held fast. He
felt two pricks on his neck, his knees buckled and he fell to his
knees. The world went black."
More to come...if you're good to me. ;)

Nice!
Good surprize!
Great writing! When the 'dead'woman moved my heart skipped a beat. As far as the two little pricks, I think they were my neighbors in '76 . . . now you MUST write more so I can know for sure! :)
