*It's funny, the things you get used to seeing, now that they've passed the Undead Amnesty laws. Funny how quickly you learn to ignore them. But then one of them walks in like this and you realize there are some things you'll just never get used to.
Like zombies wearing g-strings.*

Seventeen-year-old Kevin Velasco is about to have his heart broken.
As if crushing on his lifelong best friend, Jamie, weren't bad enough, she's obsessed with someone else, or...some thing: the Undead. How can a guy compete against that?
