Oops! I Just Ate You.

By Ævar Þór Benediktsson

A laugh-out-loud spooky tale about a lonely zombie who is very, very hungry...hungry for friends, that is!

"OOPS! I just ate you!" I said with a slurp.

My small belly grew as I let out a burp.

Being "un-dead" is AWESOME. No parents! No school! But something is off -- this zombie just can't R.I.P. Why? Because he's always hungry . . . but it's not brains he has a mouth-watering hankering for. He's hungry for making friends!

When he sets out in search of buddies, the zombie meets a boy on a bike, a girl with an artistic flair, some joggers, and even an angry mob. There is only one problem: He keeps EATING them! They each go down with a slurp and his belly grows inch by inch with each new pal he makes. As a result, the zombie is still lonely and craving a companion. Hey . . . will YOU be his friend?
