The National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Warning for today, and forecasted another foot of snow for our area.
Another foot of snow.
What better way to spend a stormy Sunday than reading a zombie book and watching four hours of 24 on dvd?
Thanks for the dvd, Neal.
"Zombie Haiku" was a birthday gift from Verge, and just as the title implies, it is a poetry journal written by a zombie, during his final days, in haiku format.
It's great having friends who are English teachers. They come up with the coolest books.
The "zombie" in this book records his journey from living as an average guy to being one of the flesh-hungry, smelly, decomposing undead. He finds "food" in his old neighborhood, a nursing home, a farmhouse, a mall, and finally an airport. It's in the airport that another guy, while running from the zombies, remembers the "head you're dead" rule and obtains the journal.
Why are the farmhouses with cornfields always such a zombie magnet?
Seriously?
One of my favorite entries in the book:
"The flies on my neck
are starting to irritate
the other dead guy"
The best part of this story-
wait for it-
is that the author, Ryan Mecum, is a youth pastor at a Presbyterian church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Nicely done, Ryan.
