Why Zombies vs. Juvenile Delinquents?

Sympathy and understanding is hard to come by. Society, as a whole, doesn't tend to sympathize with people unless there are circumstances that really speak to that sympathetic nature - family illness, death, loss of home, car accidents, etc. There are circumstances to which people feel sympathetic.

Exhaustion and a Whiskey Diet

Well readers...it's been a tiring couple of weeks. And I've tried, I've given it my all all to find the silver linings, to try to move past this deep, bitter feeling of possible misplaced betrayal, to feel inspired and hopeful.
