Date of the Dead: A Zombie Love Story (part 6)
The Stairway and the Sexists It was time to run. Laura Lee was first to notice that they indeed were zombies, when none of them whistled or made catcalls because her skirt had blown up from the wind.

Date of the Dead: A Zombie Love Story (part 4)

Date of the Dead: A Zombie Love Story (part 2)
