The Heiress of Strangetown

Chapter 8 - Love is Dead

 

Like Bleh! Mrs. Sway! You're all stinky and crispy!

Mom???

Allistar! I think your mom is Zombie-fried!

You mean you're not supposed so say "Red Rover, Red Rover" to resurrect the dead???

 

The Morning After.....

Cheese!...... I need Cheese!............ Cheese for brains!........... Cheese!

 

Ladies and Gentlemen. Meet "The Heiress of Strangetown" just as I'd always envisioned her...

 

I'm coming to get you mailbox!!!

Alright evil mailbox. Killing me wasn't enough for you? Now you make me live the life of the undead???

You're going to make all the goth chicks so jealous.

So what's with this uncontrollable craving for cheese? And why don't I sound like a Zombie now?

That's a Zombie thing. Think of Grilled Cheese as a 'temporary remedy' for your condition. If you go too long without a Grilled Cheese sandwich, you'll revert back to zombie-ism.

Like how long?

About an hour.

I have to eat grilled cheese hourly? Hmmm, that does sound yummy.

Just think of yourself as Zombie-rella. As long as you keep eating Grilled Cheese, you'll be fine.

Ok. Just shut up and tell me what you did with my husband.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize he'd made an honest woman of you.

Mailbox!!!

Check the box in the garage...

 

Donte? Is that you sweetie? Got room for one more in there???

Bleh! I want your blood!

I don't have any blood! I'm un-dead! Donte, it's me, Belinda, I'm back, and I want you! And another grilled cheese sandwich...

 

Now there's a happy site. Un-dead Love, reunited!

 

What's the matter Allistar?

Stupid frickin frackin bathtub! Stupid Dad and his hair remover.... clogs the tub every friggin day!

Family troubles?

What do you want Mr. Box???

Oh nothing. I just wanted to know how you were getting along. You look pretty frustrated. I know I would be if my mother was a zombie and my father was a vampire....

Donte's NOT my real dad! Frackin bathtub! I'm going to bury you in the backyard.

Ah, chip off the old block. Alright Allistar. Do you have news for me??

What are you talking about mailbox?

Are we pregnant???

No! 'We' are not. But Allison might be.

 

All she does is wear ugly clothes and talk about babies.

 

Like, has that Legacy Land Lady had her baby yet? The one who does the potato chip commercials? I read in the tabloids that she was pregnant!

I dont know what you're talking about m'am.

Don't you like work for that bug company? The one in Legacy Land. That bug boy won that TV show and they got married. Have they had a baby yet?

I've never even heard of Legacy Land, lady. Now can I please just kill your bugs?

 

You know Allistar. I'm surprised it's still so difficult for you to fix that bathtub with all your mechanical skills.

Well. Incase you hadn't noticed. Bathtubs don't come with instructions! So all you can do is bang on it until it stops. I give up.

So do you have that dream job yet Allistar? Are you taking over the business world?

There aren't *bang*clank* any *ping*bang* openings! FRACK!

 

Oh I wish I was a grilled cheese sandwich
That is what I'd really like to be
For if I was a grilled cheese sandwich
Belinda Sway would be loving me!

 

Yes! We are having Grilled Cheese for breakfast Scott Landry. What's it to you? You stink! How about a shower???

 

Are you tryin to look at me boy? Are you?

What?

I seen ya lookin at me!

I was just birdwatching... Don't you live on the other side of town? I can't even see your house from here.

Well ya shouldn't waste your time lookin at me. It's THEM you should be lookin for! They're out there!

 

 

 

Like Allistar?? Dinner's ready! Allistar? Did you find your bird? Allistar? Where'd you go babe?

 

Oh look! There's two moons in the sky! Like doesn't that mean somebody's going to get slapped???

We have to find Allistar and warn him!

Where's Allistar??? Allistar!!!

Oh this really stinks!

 

Allistar! You're back!

Allistar! Like what's that on your head?

Allistar's been turned into an alien!!!

Something smells like Grilled Cheese...

 

Ah.... A picture's worth a thousand words....
