With an effort, you resist your brain-hunger, and tear your eyes away from the guy's head. "Okay," you say, "I won't eat you. But get out of here."

But instead of getting up, he begins to giggle, then to laugh in a high-pitched voice. "Get out of here!" he parrots loudly, still giggling uncontrollably. "Get out of here! Zombie! Zombie!"

Dear lord. He's obviously cracked. But as you turn to leave, you hear running footsteps behind you, and a couple of burly men stomp hurriedly over, running to either side of you to block your escape.

Bounty hunters!

"Get it!" one yells, and the other swings a baseball bat at your face with such force that your nose ends up coming out of the back of your head.

And the moral of the story is: always eat people.
