Now that’s novel. Don’t think I’ve ever seen (and I think I got this right) a story from the perspective of the zombie. I love the self-congratulation bit about Broadway. Great stuff.

Can Kelsey Grammer play the zombie in the movie version? This is great, but if you read it as Sideshow Bob, it’s even funnier.

Awesome.. love the tale told from the smart zombies perspective. and the lifetoid.. great word.

Loved it, and looking forward to writing another sequel. What fun!

This looks like the start of a good tennis match (back and forth between two Ficleteers) between atllta and Ridcully Calvert!

I loved the last line!

Was it supposed to be an allusion to Romeo and Juliet?

I am busy with a sequel for this, and from some dark place the following opening paragraph bubbled up:

Bella comes walking out hesitantly, her hairy feet brushing fragments of mortar left over from previous engagements in the corridor. She moves quite daintily for a 7-foot mountain gorilla.

I have junked it, but thought that you guys might appreciate the insight into my creative process ;-)

I love it! This series is so much fun.

@OrangeOreos – you got it, a straight-shooting Romeo/Juliet reference. Remember, this zombie is intelligent (and somewhat of a romantic)!
