PETER AND THE VAMPIRES is a horror/comedy web novel (and a free podcast!)about a normal, 10-year-old kid who moves into a sinister town filled with supernatural horribleness. The series is composed of different "monster of the week" stories - kind of like THE X-FILES crossed with THE SIMPSONS (if Mr. Burns were a ghoul and something terrifying lived in the town dump). "Peter And The Dead Men" is the first story in the collection. A new page is posted every day.

That mummy is irritatingly resilient. What, was it embalmed with asbestos?
Still, awesome to see the trio getting so involved in the fight - it's always good to have a hobby.
Stowle = Any object found down the back of a sofa. The word has been extended to cover any miscellaneous object you find but weren't looking for, but purists still insist it should only be ussd when a sofa is involved.
The basic trouble with applying science to the supernatural is that these things don't conform to science to begin with...
Technically is a mummy a very dry and very old zombie, which in turn is a skeleton with some of its former flesh still on its bones. While the body of very fresh zombies might (to some extend) work like it did as it was alive, the supernatural force animating all others must change a lot of properties so the resulting undead can can work like they do in the first place.
Like the dry flesh would hold the bones together, but at the same time preventing any movement - similar to a skeleton dipped in concrete....
Cutting/smashing the undead to bits is the second universal way, besides simply imprisoning them. the other methods usually involve exploiting some loophole in the concept (like cutting off the head),or directly working against the magic behind it, sometimes using mundane items with supposedly anti-magical properties, or destroying the supposed source of the magic.
Science and magic don't mix well, so now we know that physics don't work against something held together by a curse. Hopefully getting shot in the head this time cause the skull to shatter. Of course even then it might still move around.

It's a different KIND of physics.
