55 - Dead Wrong


Lumbering along
as if there were no connection
between muscles and brain
he stared with unfocused eyes.
Teeth gleaming blood red
and dripping with the pink of gray matter. 
His pallor betrayed him
as he trudged forward
in a jerky motion
toward his prey
who exclaimed,
"Dude. Really?
The costume is great,
but it's Easter."

Clothes make the man, they say, or the zombie, in this case. As long as he brings me chocolate bunnies, i couldn't care less. Monstrously neat 55, MM.

There was that demon in Buffy who dressed as a bunny for Hallowe'en because she thought they were scary.....

he refuses to conform, I like that!

I got so much shit for being zombie santa at santacon last year. The other boring santa's were creeped out by my zombie eyes and pale skin.
