Plane Based: Tale of a modern vegan zombie

· By Mina Schaafsma · Published 2022-10-09T19:05:23.848Z

Constructor's Note
PROLOGUE: Every Year on October 31st the International Society for Contemporary Zombies and Undead Individuals (ISCZUI) holds a lavish dinner party filled with zombie socialization and brain eating merriment. The ISCZUI recruits the best chefs worldwide and imports only the finest human flesh delicacies from Paris, France to Gary, Indiana. The menu for the 2022 year is particularly mouthwatering…to all but one zombie. Brian is a pioneering modern day “vegan” zombie who’s refusal to eat any part of the human body has started much controversy in the society. He claims he gets his daily intake of human proteins solely from eating sheet metal en masse from retired commercial aircrafts. Despite the apparent spelling error, his slogan “planez over branez” has gained recent intrigue in the zombie community but has seen stark backlash from the aerospace and mainline flight industries. During the ISCZUI halloween dinner event of the season, Brian decided to stage a public protest by refusing to eat the flashy fleshy feast the society had concocted.
