I killed her twice.

Until I join her, she won't stay dead.

    Are you watching that show on AMC, on Sundays I think? The zombie one? I watched it and was up half the night thinking my kids turned into little freaky zombies....

    I killed her twice is genius. It is the little touch that would keep me reading, because it was unexpected.

    Nice! What a terrible situation! It would make me a crazy person if I couldn't shake an ex, especially after killing them twice! A haunting I would like to avoid at all costs. Thanks for sharing!

    This reminds me of Peter Jackson's Dead Alive . . . I loved that movie.

    Creepy, but also kind of Shaun of the Dead funny...

    Ok this made me giggle. But then again most zombie shows though scary usually makes me giggle. Love the line "Until I join her, she won't stay dead"

    Yeah. This literally terrifies me. I had "visions" of having to kill my husband the other night during yet another invisible zombie invasion at 4 am. LOL.

    I was a bit confused at first and then... Duh I saw the title. Loved it and I'm a complete sucker for zombies.
