Zombie-ing, Sunshine-Style

Thrifty Words 100 #10: Zombies

Stultifying seizures aside, most days zombification doesn’t involve any groaning. Unless it’s first thing in the morning before three cups of coffee. Odds are, you will get eaten if you talk to the zombie before then.

Shawn of the Dead is our jam. Day in, day out, same shit, different day. Zombies never wish for new changes. Why would we? We’re content to simply be, noshing our brain-gifting nourishment. We thrive on consistency. We practice patience. We wrote damn near every book on accepting who we are.

If self-help were a zombie mantra, it’d sound like, “Grr, Arggh.”

Thanks, Jonica Bradley — I really needed the smile today.
