I like how you transitioned into the story. Also, I like how you condensed everything that happened at the party into a short sentence or two. It really lets us know that we didnt miss out on anything that happened prior to this. Where this story will end, I’m not sure. But I am excited to find out.

However, for the challenge, I really don’t see any zombie aspect in this at all.

Rosetone said the zombie aspect wasn’t meant to be taken literally, though it is perfectly legitimate to include the zed-heads if so desired. You can check the challenge comments to see what I mean.

I love the opening sentences – a hook, an affirmation and a contradiction. Also, the references to the rave-party were cleverly put in. And I suppose the pretzels are…bullets? They must’ve tasted woody.

“Zombie Social – take it literally or figuratively.

I was more making a comparison (dull party companions) than an actually reference to an undead uprising. Both work, however, for the contest."

The title, Zombie Social, was tongue in cheek. I truly meant people acting like zombies.

Anyone seen the awful/awesome music video Boombox (The Lonely Island)? That’s what I was meaning – bland people living bland lives attending a lifeless party. Make some noise! Start a fight! Or join them and blehhhhhhhh .

Not, however, to say that actual Zack stories aren’t legit. I’m totally accepting all of those too.

It’s party of the challenge – how does the writer interpret it? Just wish more people would participate.

Jae – you made me smile.

More detail could be added, but I get it. x3
