Well done. The Zombie narration was a little unusual, but the method by which you used it was intriguing. Once again well done.

I got that Jesus feeling just reading this. You’ve created a pretty cool new type of zombie. I like the way his mind and speech patterns deteriorated, illustrating the way his body must have been. Very cool. Adam

Very nice. Had me reading straight thru, no stops. I like the idea of some dead retaining intelligence. It makes it that much harder to objectify them.

I enjoyed this story very much, gave me some insight to the zombie way of life. Amazing job.

Very well done, or should I say very raw. Whichever. Well written and interesting enough to keep me reading all the way through. Great ending.

Thanks, Mark. I got the idea after noticing Romero’s zombies have seemed to evolve over his series of “Dead” films. With each movie, the shambling dead seem to get a little smarter (or at least some of them do). So, I thought, what if one of them could function at a near human level, but still had the urge to eat?

Not bad. I know everyone has their favorite type of zombie (mine being the ones from 28 series), but I’ve never really heard of zombies that spoke. Still, it’s interesting nonetheless.
