Zombie Dreams

So last night I totally had my first official zombie dream. I know, some of you are probably thinking, what's wrong with you? Why haven't you dreamed about zombies before? While more likely the majority of you are going, ummmm WHY would you dream about zombies in the first place?

To which I must answer, I have no clue.

I mean, I am kind of reading Carrie Ryan's The Forest of Hands and Teeth and there was this post by The Bloggess which may have inspired me. But for the record, I am NOT a zombie person. At all. So much so in fact that even in my dream, I had a moment of total clarity while I hid in my car and watched zombies running back and forth on the street biting people and I thought, ummmm, Frankie? You know you're not a zombie person right?

And I answered myself, right.

You know this might all be Carrie Ryan's fault, right?

And I agreed with myself, right.

But you've also read Shiver three times and you never dreamed about werewolves before, right? And I thought, right! So then WHY ON EARTH are you dreaming about zombies. You are NOT a zombie girl.

At which point a man was pinned to the ground right outside my car and was bitten for the 5th time. Mind you, despite the fact that I was totally out of my element in a zombie dream, my authorly self was still thriving and so this meant my dream included world building. Yeah! And hard core world building rules. And in the land of Frankie and zombies, apparently you can be bitten by a zombie and not turn into one, UNTIL you've been bitten 5 times. So when that 5th bite appeared on that man, I high tailed it out there and drove so far...I drove into another dream.

So I think I can safely say my zombie days, or nights...dreams...whatever, are over. Which is good. Because veganism and zombiesm do not mix. At all. Unless I can be a vegetarian zombie.

Then I might be ok.  But probably not.
