“So did you get your parties mixed up too? How long did it take to do
your make-up? Mine only took an hour. I think it looks pretty real, even though
zombies aren’t real, right, so how real could it really look? What’s
your name?”
You chatter on, but he makes no response. And he still hasn’t
wiped that gross punch off of his chin. Doesn’t he care that it’s
starting to drip onto his shirt? You decide to move on. This guy is
weirding you out.
As you turn away to talk to your other friends, you feel a cold hand clamp onto your shoulder. You try to move away, but you can’t. All too late, you realize that you’ve been making small talk with a very hungry, very real, zombie.
He moves in for the kill, and you realize that your days of zombie costume parties are over. Soon you’ll be the real thing.
