7-7-7 Challenge

The Challenge is to write down page 7, line 7, and 7 paragraphs therafter (or page 77, but I'm not that far in this work in progress yet...) So here it is. I call this my zombie story, that should give you some indication who the main character is. Or rather, what he is... or was. Or something.

She sighed, a heavy drawn out sigh. I echoed it, mostly to get practice with such movements, they made me seem more human. I frowned. So I wasn’t human?

“By the Almighty, I do not know what I am supposed to do now,” she muttered softly.
