In a world quietly crumbled, not with the cataclysmic fanfare of asteroids or nuclear oblivion, but with a hush as uncomfortable as the silence following a poor joke, Andrew Woodcrown finds himself an unlikely survivor. The end of humanity didn't come heralded by dramatic broadcasts or viral tweets; it slipped in unnoticed, leaving behind a horde of zombies to roam the once serene Redwood Town. With only his dachshund, Woodstock, for company, Andy's daily life transforms into a relentless quest for survival, navigating a new reality where being alive is a full-time job. His existence becomes a balancing act of dodging the undead and scavenging for food, until dwindling supplies force him to embark on the most perilous journey yet: the search for other humans. Armed with nothing but his anxiety, a sharp wit, and a reservoir of nerd culture, Andy faces each day with the kind of perseverance only found in the most unlikely heroes. His quest is riddled with the challenges of a man who's more accustomed to theoretical quandaries than the practicalities of post-apocalyptic life. In a landscape where the odds of survival are as slim as those of finding love on a dating app, Andy's journey is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for hope and humor in the face of oblivion. "Zombie Friendly" by Giulia Reverberi is not just a tale of survival; it's a story about finding humanity in the most unexpected places, all while keeping one step ahead of the undead.
