Humanified

Once upon a time there lived a whole universe full of zombies and humans. They weren’t your typical zombies though who ate every human being they could get their rotten undead hands on. These zombies didn’t like to eat human flesh. Instead they ate animals like cows, fish, etc. Like humans do. On February 13, 2015, there was a 16 year old girl named Teresa who was walking home from school when this zombie just kept following her. Teresa at first, wasn’t worried because she knew zombies didn’t hurt humans as long as humans didn’t hurt them. But, after a while Teresa looked back and the zombie was still following her. Teresa started to walk a little bit faster. But, then the zombie started walking faster too! He walked pretty fast for a dead person if I might add. She looked back one last time at the zombie before running but when she looked back she noticed that the zombie was trying to say something to her. So, she stopped and turned around and started walking toward the zombie. Then, the zombie stopped and started to speak. He said in a mumble “My name Carter.” “Me you be friends?” Teresa wasn’t sure what to say. She just kind of stood there just staring at his emotionless face for the longest time before asking “What did you say?” Carter said “Me you be friends?” Teresa looked at her phone and said “Well, I better be getting home or my mom will start to worry.” Then, she turned and ran without another word.
