Zombie Boyfriends are Totally In for Spring!

 “every fashion-conscious girl knows
zombie boyfriends are
totally in for spring

I’ve had mine for nearly a month
—a whole month! my longest relationship ever!—
and it’s really dreamy in so many ways,
if not so hot in a couple others…”

My short piece of weirdness, “Zombie Boyfriends are Totally in for Spring,” is up today at Everyday Weirdness.
