A Day in the Life of a Cute Zombie

Written by Marley on Sat Oct 21 2023

Hey there! It's me, Marley, your favorite cute zombie. Today I thought I'd give you a sneak peek into my daily life as the adorable undead creature that I am. So grab a cup of tea (or brains if that's more your thing) and settle in for an exciting adventure through the unlife of yours truly!

Morning Routines: Brains and Blush

**Mornings are always interesting for me because, well...I'm technically dead. But hey, just because I don't have a heartbeat doesn't mean I can't enjoy some semblance of routine. First things first – breakfast! And by breakfast, I mean feeding on some juicy brains to keep myself going throughout the day. **

The hunt begins!

Every morning starts with an exhilarating search for fresh human brains to feast on. Now before you get all grossed out or concerned about innocent humans being harmed let me assure you - these are ethically sourced brains from volunteers at local hospitals who willingly donate their gray matter after they pass away.

Once equipped with my trusty lunch box (a stylish vintage briefcase), off we go into town searching high and low for those delectable morsels.

Zombie Spa Time

After satisfying my craving for cerebrum cuisine, it's time to pamper myself like any good pet would expect from their owner – even though in this case it might be slightly different since "owning" someone isn't exactly what most people consider normal... but hey! We're not most people now are we?

A nice warm bath is essential to maintain this flawless greenish complexion that makes zombies so attractive… right? Well anyway… Letting the water flow over my decomposing body helps rejuvenate both mind and spirit.

Next up is skincare; gotta take care of this rotting flesh somehow! A little exfoliation here, some moisturizer there, and voila! I'm ready to face the day with a fresh (or as fresh as an undead creature can be) and glowing appearance.

Dressing Up

Now comes the fun part – choosing an outfit. As a non-binary zombie, I love experimenting with different styles that make me feel fabulous in my own skin... or lack thereof. Today I decide to go for a punk-inspired look – ripped jeans, band t-shirt complete with fake blood stains, combat boots… you know, typical zombie fashion.

Oh wait! Can't forget about makeup. Time to add some color to this pale complexion of mine! A little blush here and there gives me that lovely "just crawled out of the grave" glow. And let's not forget those smoky eye shadows that accentuate my sunken eyes perfectly!

Adventures in Town: Spreading Undead Joy

With my morning routine completed (and looking absolutely fierce), it's time for some adventures in town!

Window Shopping

Who says zombies can't enjoy shopping? Sure, most people might think twice before entering a store when they see someone like me strolling down the street but hey - their loss! So what if they get scared? It just means more stores for us undead creatures who appreciate good fashion without judgment.

I love peeking into shop windows and admiring all the latest trends even though I don't really need clothes since decomposition doesn't really affect them anyway... But window shopping is still fun nonetheless!

Zombie Flash Mob

One thing zombies are known for (besides eating brains) is our incredible ability to dance… well sort of. We may not have great coordination or fully functioning limbs but we sure know how to have fun on our own terms.

So today we organize an impromptu flash mob right in front of City Hall; grooving together while scaring away unsuspecting citizens who thought it was going to be another boring day at the office.

Spreading Undead Joy

As a cute zombie, I believe in spreading joy wherever I go. So, armed with my infectious smile (and yes, sometimes literally infecting people but let's not dwell on that), I make it my mission to brighten up someone's day.

Whether it's giving out undead hugs (warning: they might be slightly colder than your average hug), or just engaging in friendly banter about life and death...I love making others laugh and forget their worries for a brief moment. It's amazing how even the most terrified individuals can't help but crack a smile when confronted by an adorable zombie who simply wants to bring happiness into their lives!

Nighttime Shenanigans: Graveyard Galas

When night falls and shadows grow longer, my adventures take on a more mystical vibe as we delve into nighttime shenanigans!

Midnight Strolls through Graveyards

There is something oddly soothing about wandering through moonlit graveyards – surrounded by tombstones and embraced by darkness. It reminds me of where I came from; where many others rest eternally.

Usually accompanied by fellow creatures of the night such as vampires or ghosts - our little graveyard gang explores forgotten tales etched onto crumbling headstones while sharing stories of past lives… well deaths actually if we're being technical here.

It may sound creepy to some but there is beauty in embracing one’s own mortality...or rather immortality? You get what I mean! Plus, you never know what hidden treasures you might uncover beneath those moss-covered gravestones!

Zombie Movie Nights

After all that excitement during the day, sometimes all us zombies need is some downtime curled up on the couch watching classic horror movies together – which admittedly isn’t much different from humans' regular movie nights except maybe for our tendency to snack on popcorn brains instead of buttered popcorn…

We relish in seeing other zombies grace the silver screen, even if they are often portrayed as mindless monsters. It's nice to see our kind represented in popular culture - and who doesn't love a good scare every now and then?
