Zombie Fight Song
Duking it out with the Living Dead
Steve, a college student, goes to a party, puts the make on someone else’s girl, and ends up in a fight. He easily vanquishes his rival and leaves his lifeless body on the sidewalk. Naturally, he thinks that is the end of it. The next evening, however, on his way home from dinner he finds the creep waiting for him and the boob wants to fight him again. The moronic behavior and closed mind of the boy spooks Steve, and he tries to talk him out of it. The guy will have none of it, and they wind up behind a closed museum to duke it out in the dark. Again, the creep is a pushover, but every time Steve knocks him down, the jerk gets up, grunts, and lurches for him like one of the walking dead. When Steve hears a dopey melody from a famous zombie movie, he loses it, jumps on the creep, and throttles him until the thing is still. Did he truly kill the boy this time or had he already passed over? Had he actually have a fistfight with one of the living dead?
Sometimes it is better to apologize
“Feeling bored, horny and singled out as a loser because he is by himself at a party, Steve decides to hit on Carol, who is an attractive but taken woman. When one thing leads to another after dancing with her, Steve finds himself in a bedroom kissing her. When her boyfriend Roger catches them, Steve takes the cocky instead of repentant route and they end up in a fight. The next day, Roger shows up to fight Steve once again. As they get into it, Steve realizes that Roger has a dead look in his eyes and when Roger bites him, Steve suspects that he is a zombie. Leaving Roger for dead, or near dead, Steve realizes that he made a huge mistake by allowing himself to be challenged. There is a lesson in this for everybody, in that you should avoid fights because it is hard to defeat somebody who might be a zombie.
“I totally enjoyed reading "Zombie Fight Song." I could totally relate Steve's character to that of many single men that I know. Rather than lose face in an argument, even if they are obviously wrong, they would rather be macho and fight somebody. In this case the tables were turned because Steve appeared to be dealing with a monster. Or perhaps he really wasn't one, and this was Steve's way to justify being a jerk. Definitely a fun read!”

The perfect cure for a womanizer.
“Steve finds himself in deep trouble, deeper and far weirder than he could ever have imagined. Okay, maybe it wasn't the smartest idea to hit on Carol. After all, her boyfriend Roger wasn't going to be pleased.
“Steve understood the consequences and was up for a fight, or so he thought. Then, Roger appeared. Something seemed a bit off. No matter what Steve did, Roger just kept getting up.”
