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… ?

Bleeding Hearts #4
How do you bond with a human when you have little humanity yourself?
Poke is figuring it out firsthand, but his best friend Mush is starting to notice. Poke is disappearing all the time, and when he’s around, he’s barely interested in preparing for the joyous holiday of Out-Break.
Doesn’t he want to celebrate the devouring of Live One flesh? Poke has a tough decision to make… but the collision of his two worlds might end up making it for him!
