“Fun for the whole family!

- ”When Francine’s younger brother, Teddy, became a zombie, nobody seemed to care much. I mean, he couldn’t stay as involved in school; you had to keep pets or a stray finger well clear of his gurgling and growling mouth; and the family had to stock up on more raw meat. But other than that, things seemed to chug along like normal at Fran’s house.

Fran tried to talk sense to everyone. But even when she would catch Teddy trying to eat her parents in their sleep, the worst that would happen was them punishing her for overreacting and waking the whole family in the dead of night.

In fact, truth be told, even when Fran wasn’t complaining about her bro, her parents tended to think of her as the real “loser” and “idiot” of the family. And they openly said as much.

I guess, though, that’s the way things are when you become a teenager. Everybody looks at you strangely. You start feeling like you’re the weird one. And they start yelling at you all the time like you don’t have a brain in your head.

But Francine has plenty of brains. Good ones!

Unfortunately, Teddy’s starting to notice that, too.”
