Last year, a committee gathered to figure out what to do for Valentine's Day. One of them, a Mrs. J. Potter, suggested that the zombies needed to have something to do. "Zombie culture has spread like, well, gangrene in the last few years," she said. Her idea was for the town to put their own mark on zombie culture by pushing it along. She saw it as an "alternative to the Hallmark invention of a holiday".
The first annual Zombie Prom was born. They gathered the zombies in the local high school gym and put on some music so the zombies could "get down, 'Thriller'-style". The prom was videotaped as to proof of its success, and broadcast on the local channel as entertainment for those who didn't have anything better to do.
This year, the zombies decided to take matters into their own hands. They were so excited for the Valentine's Day prom, but it appeared they weren't satisfied with their selections of dates. Zombies have been seen for the past two weeks chasing the locals down the street, and once catching them, turning them and asking them out as a date. The "Don't Have a Date? Just Bite Someone" campaign has grown over the past few days, causing residents to lock themselves in their homes in fear that they might be nominated as the next Prom Zombie King or Queen. Those in fear of being dateless for Valentine's Day have been seen to step out on their front doorstep and none have been turned away.
The committee has no hand in the dance this year. When asked about the zombie's reaction to Valentine's Day, Mrs. J. Potter told us that it pretty much answered the question "what if zombies have feelings and emotions?" and that the committee deserved recognition in this study of zombie culture as they set out to do.
The rest of the committee left no comments about Zombie Prom.
