Damn, more of this! I really like the use of zombies as a metaphor of othering, like people are just playing a roll in a culture that isn't inviting. Great stuff!
Chilling and sad! You really have a way with metaphors! I love it! "First racial slur" ouch... Something white people (such as myself) will never understand...
Ok. First paragraph had me almost crying already. And then everything that followed was equally rough. You've captured so much in a short format. It all does feel like that and it is that poisonous.
My heart breaks for that child. But I love the ending since I can go on now to imagine lots of quiet, horrible revenge.
I just want to say how incredibly healing it is that someone else has connected to this piece. I hope your inner child finds peace (and maybe some revenge). ❤️

This is the first time I have met other people speaking honestly about things I thought I was alone in experiencing. It means everything 💛
