This Story was the most impressive I’ve read so far on this website, really “deep”!
The writer has an amazing way with words and the man seems very real. Sometimes when women writers “flesh out” a male character, it doesn’t ring true, here she really captures him.

Story reminds me of the quality of brilliant works dramatized on the original Black & White “Twilight Zone” T.V. Series, with Rod Serling. In fact, almost all the Zombie stories on this website would make a great basis for a T.V. series like that!

I think that people who protest at abortion clinics are insensitive assholes, but I have nothing against people who bury fetuses. I personally believe, that an unwanted pregnancy is a tragic thing, so is forced birth or unwanted abortions. I basically view abortion as the lesser evil, because if there is a god who spares children in heaven, that it is a greater harm to bring a child that’s completely out of your hands to care for, into this dangerous world. An orphanage or the street is no place for children to grow up, and the foster system is messed up.

In many homes, even when the parents feed the children first there still isn’t enough, and Free Enterprise U.S. doesn’t cover healthcare for children even though they certainly aren’t responsible for their own financial circumstances. Parents that struggle on minimum wage, working overtime, leave their children to themselves, and those kids roams if they have no parents.

…and it’s interesting that in myths salt both wards of evil, and free zombies that are used as slaves by plantation owners. In the plantation version, voodoo raised zombies return to their graves in the end, though sometimes not until they have mobbed their ‘owners’ first.
