The zombies won — and ten years after the fall of humanity, they’re the dominant form of life (or not-life) on Earth.
They’ve developed their own cultural practices, their own language, their own society. Mouse-Pokes-Golf-Ball-Through-Hole-In-Head (“Poke” for short) is a beloved member of his community, and with his brother-in-arm Mush, he’s happy to shamble along through the only world he can remember… until the day his heart mysteriously starts beating again.
And in a blink, the first humans he sees have stopped looking like food and have started looking like… friends… ?
