I Heart Zombie Part Two

Now it's not so crazy, is it? Is it so bad that I've fallen victim to this dangerous love? There's been worse cases. Stupid Lenore's parents thought it was a good idea to have a kid.

Okay that was out of line. But maybe if she would let me love who I do, I wouldn't be so hostile!

It's not their fault an infection caused most of their brains to shut down, and the only thing they have left is the will to stay alive which usually gives them a bad image.

The next day, I broke a big rule. I left the city to go to an abandon library 1/3 of a mile out of the northern safety wall. I needed something to read and the school reading was not cutting it. I couldn't get my mind off my new found love.

So I grabbed a book about theology of the living dead. It was a pre-war book, and some of the pages were really messed up. Turns out the idea of the living dead started out in a continent called Africa (which I found out the next day at school, is the old New France Republic.) They came from a religion of sorcery called Voodoo were a "witchdoctor" would resurrect a "zombi" (a person who was once dead, which they have brought back) to do their bidding.

Over time, cultures changed the zombi into almost what they are today. Eventually they became know as "Zombies" who fed on flesh, blood, and specifically brains. Nearly half a century ago, the pop culture turned them into these horrible creatures, not completely indifferent from a city rat.

But the original concept is the one I believe in. Except the zombie (or zombi) is the one that resurrected my heart from the dead. It is now in his control, and I to do as he pleases.


Come back soon, I'll have the last 2 paragraphs for you... The ending.

I Heart a Zombie Part One

As I may have noted before, I wrote this story that I plan on submitting to my school's literary magazine about a girl who falls in love with a zombie.

My girlfriend is really into Twilight, so I tried to spoof off of that as much as I could and still have an original story.

Two people have read it besides me, and they both enjoy it. One of them, Antonio said this when he finish reading:
"I'm going to be honest, when you told me the premise, I thought it was going to be really lame. But this is a LOT better than I thought it would be."

Not his exact words, but close enough...

Now! I bring you...



Dear Diary,
Some conflicts at school.

Okay, fine, I admit it. Yes, it's true okay? Are you happy now? So what if I've fallen deeply in love with a member of the living dead. What all the other girls don't realize is the romance! The forbidden love, like Romeo and Juliet... Except in this scenario Romeo wants to devour my flesh and nibble on my internal organs.

Maybe if those other girls took the time to hear my side of the story before they decided to judge me and kick me from their... stupid clicks...

We met in the most perfect way. I was on my way home from school walking along the fence of the city under the usual smog filled sky that kept the sky infinitely in slumber. That day I swore I almost saw the sun again.

I was running my fingers along the tilted squares in the fence just thinking, as the soft collision of metal noise helps my mind wander. I was almost home when I felt a dry brush across my fingertips, much different from the metal. I quickly snapped my hand back as a precaution (it was a reaction brain washed into us during our years at the Northeast Survivor City Elementary School.) I looked to where my hand was, thinking I would find a brain-dead, skin-feasting, rotting corpse trying to get a bite of my hands.

Instead was the exact opposite. Sure he was rotting, but my gray eyes met his glazed over, white, soulless eyes and my bones melted. The fresh animal blood under his lip lit up under the cities security lights. Of course it's less grotesque to think of it as a symbol of his heart reaching out to me. His hungry eyes gazed at me as if I was the most beautiful girl in the world, and for once in my life, I felt like I was.


Join me later in the week for more!!

The Introduction

Okay, so apparently Zombie Survival Guide is already a book by some established writer, but I'm totally going to own his soul.

See, I've spent the last forever thinking about everything there possibly is to think about Zombies, and I'm working with my... co-writer? Antonio Alvarez. We're going to work together to make this awesome independent book work out.

It'll be a mix between comedy, horror, action, sadness, science, and tips on how to survive the zombie apocalypse. It's going to be fun stuff...
