I, Zombie (Detective)
I've had a story knocking around in the back of my head since last Halloween. The story begins:
The story is an interview with a zombie in a post-zombie scourge suburbia. Something like the ending of Shawn of the Dead, I thinks. The story would fit into Gohira only a few years after "Cheating Life". The zombie basically lost her mind (her soul) when originally zombified. That's kind of the point of zombies - they are a self-perpetuating soul-collecting agency for lazy vampires. But this zombie, during her mindless soul-collecting, happened to catch a bit of someone else's mind, and thus began to develop a new twinkle of free-will. Her goal is to frankenstein together enough pieces of mind to have a complete soul back, shake her zombie curse, and maybe find out who she used to be and reclaim her old life.
Of course, in the meantime, she has to eat to keep her body from falling apart, and that cameraman is looking mighty tasty!
They say you are what you eat. That's why I eat brains.
