      Zombies Don’t Dance:

      A YA Short Story

      Driver?

      His shoulders kind of hunch when he hears my voice through the open partition that separates us. He hasn’t quite gotten used to driving a zombie around yet.

      Sir? His voice is as hoarse as mine, but not from decades of drying vocal chords or even years of not speaking to another living – or un-living – soul. I can smell the smoke stained into his clothes from way in the backseat.

      Can you… can you pull into that diner up on the right?
