Hey hey, Awesome readers of Resurrection.

I just want to tell y'all how lovely you are for sparing those 'for good stories only' clicks of yours.

If I could marry y'all, I would because you have the qualities of a God given wife .

So supportive, trusting, cute, (insert positive adjective here). Lol

Soo, I've been trying to give my zombies a name and we've been having an argument about it; me and these zombie guys that won't stay dead..

Zombie #1 : Yeah, like dumbass author suggested flesh eating remnants of post-apocalypse Earth..

Author : It's cool, isn' i' ?

Zombie #1 : *smirk, how would you and the readers feel if they saw Shawn saying, "Kevin, look out, flesh eating remnants of post-apocalypse Earth are coming!"... Dumbass!

Author : Hey, watch it. Let's not forget who's in charge here, although, I admit, the name's not too cool anymore.

Zombie #1 : Yeah, I told you...Who's got the brains now?

Author : If only, the 'brains' isn't as mushy as margarine and rotten as last week's dinner.

Zombie #1 : Hey, I have rights!! *scrunched up face

Author : Yea? what rights? Right to life? You're dead already!

Zombie #1 : I'm calling the Zops (Zombie Police Squad).

Author : Alright, go ahead... it's been long since I last put PenPower to use, how'd you want them dead? Stroke out or ink blot?

Zombie #1 : *pouting sadly, no fair, you don't have all the power in the world...

Author : Tsk tsk

( In walks bald, stocky and very fat Zombie #2...)

Zombie #2 : Holá mi amigós...Help me with my grocery bags, wontcha?

Author : (uses pen to give zombie superpower that makes it carry the grocery bags to the kitchen...) You have to take your bath though, you smell like a corpse.

Zombie #2 : *defiantly, Because I am. You know I can't take a bath, last time I tried, half my eyelids washed away, do you want my eyeballs to fall out?!

Author : Whatever, by the way. We were trying to think up a really cool zombie nick. Any ideas??

Zombie #1 : (chips in) Your author friend suggested flesh eating remnants of post-apocalypse Earth.

Author : Shut up!

Zombie #2 : What kind of dumbass nick is that?

Zombie #1 : I told you! ( makes the I-told-you-so face)

Zombie #2 : Revenants, zombies, undead, dead nutjobs, ghouls, tankers, forsaken undead, animated undead...*scratches brain through hole in the skull

Author: (makes are-you-for-real face at zombie #2) I actually want something original...

Zombie #2 : Well, since I love to snarl (makes show of snarling loudly), you can call us snarlers or...

Zombie #1 : Or growlers ( makes show of growling loudly and endlessly)

Author : (uses pen to write zombie #1's mouth shut) Just shut up!

Zombie #1 : mmmm mm mmmmmm mmmmmmmm

Author : (cups hand to ear) Are you saying something?

Zombie #1 : mmmmmm mmmmm mmmmmmm mmmmmmm!!

Author : If you don't have anything to say, I have important issues to attend to, like typing chapter nine of this book!

Zombie #2 : Hey *snaps finger What about prowlers? Walkers? Biters? Undead Snappers? Clackers?

Author : Clackers?

Zombie #2 : yeah, cos I do this all the time (clacks teeth together excitedly)

Author : Or I can just call you slobber (points at Zombie #2's potbelly)...hahaha

Zombie #2 : You are a bully...

Author : No, I'm not... (Uses pen to erase potbelly and draw abs for zombie #2)

Zombie #2 : waoh...(breaks tooth and finger to make a show of chiselling the sixpack) Who's the undead now?

Author : (Moves pen to erase abs) Alright, enough fun and games, I have a story to write you know?

Zombie #2 : (hisses) My precious! (Mimicks gollum from Lord of the rings trilogy)

Author : Oh really? (twirls pen in hand)

Zombie #2 : (tries to cry, no tear ducts) please, don't do this to me, please (makes innocent cat eyes)

Author : Alright alright! Get back to the freezer before you decompose.

Zombie #2 : yay! (Flexes biceps and sixpacks)

Zombie #1 : mmmmm mmmmmmm MMMMMMMMMM!!!

Author : Oh, I forgot (Uses pen to write zombie open) Say thank you.

Zombie #1 : (Meekly) Thank you.

Author : Whatever, get back in the freezer so I can write in peace.

Zombies #1 : (Raises hand halfway) I have some ideas

Author : Don't bore me, I'll ask my readers instead, they have working brains.

Zombie #1 and #2 : ZOMBIE RIGHTS!!!

Author : Get in the fridge!

(Zombies #1 and #2 sulk off to the fridge)

Author : So readers, sorry we had to bore you with our delirious conversation. (Flicks zombie tissue and bone off arm) sorry for that too!

I had some ideas for zombie nicknames...because zombie is so not cool but any of yours will be welcome *^_^*

Also, we've entered a new school year and I have to go to school, exams to read for and school blah blah (Am I the only one who likes wattpad more than college?) so I'll have to juggle a lot of things. Just letting you know in advance because updates might not be every-friday regular anymore.

Reader #1 : (Jumps out fifth floor window) Nooo!

Author : Hey, I didn't say I was leaving you, I'll still update frequently (Writes superman cape on back, flying power and jumps out window)

Reader #2 : (Soliloquizing) Why can't everyone be like me? Must you make a box office movie of not reading a book anymore because author is busy with school and cannot update regularly? *scoffs, if I like a book, I'll stick with it to the very end come rain, sunshine or a zombie apocalypse...

(Outside the window, after Author has saved reader #1)

Reader #1 : Let me go! (hammers author's well-chiseled chest with fists while curled up in his arms)

Author : No! (flies into apartment through open window)

Reader #1 : (angrily) Unfortunately, I'm not one of your zombie slaves that you can tell what to do (folds arm with stony look on face)

Zombies #1 and #2 : (from inside the fridge) We aren't slaves, we are characters!

Author : Fine fine, I'll find a way to please everybody...

Zombie #1 : (cuts in) Zombie rights

Author : (rolls eyes) ...that too

Reader #1 and Zombie #1 : (squeal with excitement) yay!

Author : Cool, so can I write in peace now?

( Curtains draw close on author putting pen to paper)
