Warm Bodies By Issac Marion

This story is about a zombie that is slightly different than the others; he does not have a name, but his zombie friend, M, calls him “R’. R is changing in many ways. He talks and communicates like humans do. R lives in a 747 airplane at an abandoned airport. He loves to ride up and down the escalators with the rest of the zombies. R meets Julie, a human who is trying to survive the zombie apocalypse, and they fall in love. The story takes place in a zombie infested city, an airport, and a stadium. The problem in this story was R and Julie being together. Julie’s father was a general in the army and he was sort of like the “governor” of the stadium and the city together. Julie’s father was kind, but he was also very aggressive when “corpses” or “the undead” were mentioned. There was also a group of zombies called “Boneys’; they were really skinny and looked a lot like running skeletons and they wanted to kill R because he fell in love with a human. When R finally made his way into the stadium and the city by fooling the guards into believing he was a human that was being chased by a horde of zombies, R immediately went to Julie’s house, but on the way there, a guard walked up to R and asked him for an ID, but R didn’t have one, so R killed the guard. When Julie found out that R was there, she panicked because she thought the guards would kill R. Julie introduced R to her roommate Nora. Nora wasn’t surprised because she already knew what was happening. Then, the guards found the dead body, they had an alarm go off. General Grigio (Julie’s father), went door-to-door to inspect all of the houses. Julie and Nora had an idea: put make up on R. When they finished, R looked like a human! The most intense part of this story was when General Grigio found out that R was a zombie, but R tried his best to tell him that the zombies are changing too, they were curing themselves and putting an end to the apocalypse. The other intense part was when R, Julie, and Nora
