Holly: Seriously, you don't like unicorns? What kind person doesn't like unicorns? Justine: What kind of a person doesn't like zombies? What have zombies ever done to you? Holly: Zombies shamble. I disapprove of shambling. And they have bits that fall off. You never see a unicorn behaving that way. Justine: I shamble. Bits fall off me all the time: hair, skin cells. Are you saying you disapprove of me?

Holly BlackItโs just that you go so crazy being alone like that. Sometimes heโd forget my water or food and Iโd cry and cry and cry.โ She stops talking and looks out the window. โI would try to tell myself stories to pass the time. Fairy tales. Parts of books. But they got used up.
