Zombies Don't Cry

Rusty Fischer
Rusty has presented us with a real 'stiff' of a story, creating a tale in which you aren't sure if you should laugh uncontrollably or take pity on the main character. You have good humor and seriousness combined. Putting that combination into one book isn't easy. Rusty has came out with remarkable talent and left me wanting to read more of his work!
Maddy is just like you and me. Normal. Yet, in her Home Ec class people seem to be dying. Quite weird. Maddy's best friend Hazel thinks it's cursed. Why else would people keep dying in only that class?
As Maddy rushes out one day she accidentally bumps into the new guy Stamp. Nobody ever notices Maddy. They always notice Hazel, yet he does. Later, as Maddy is running she ends up slamming straight into guess who? Stamp! Yes again! He ends up asking her out to a party where she just can't wait to see him! This never happens to her!
As Maddy is creeping down the road heading for the party to meet Stamp, it's beginning to rain and out of nowhere, WHAM! Lights out, on the ground, she is confused. Is the party not going on? There are no lights on at the house. Suddenly she realizes it's way later, hours later than it was just a couple minutes ago. And, to top it all off, the is a spot on her head. She realizes she was hit by lightning. How could this have happened? Agh! Now the only thing left to do is go back home.
Once there, She realizes things just aren't right. She gets on the computer and starts searching for the fact that she feels like she's really cold, no heartbeat, why she can hold her breath for like...however long she wants. She's also feeling stiff.
The answer: She must eat brains.
Why: She is more than likely a zombie.
Whaa?
This girl seriously needs some help!
Is this what's happening to everybody?
