Feeling bored, horny and singled out as a loser because he is by himself at a party, Steve decides to hit on Carol, who is an attractive but taken woman.  When one thing leads to another after dancing with her, Steve finds himself in a bedroom kissing her.  When her boyfriend Roger catches them, Steve takes the cocky instead of repentant route and they end up in a fight.  The next day, Roger shows up to fight Steve once again.  As they get into it, Steve realizes that Roger has a dead look in his eyes and when Roger bites him, Steve suspects that he is a zombie.  Leaving Roger for dead, or near dead, Steve realizes that he made a huge mistake by allowing himself to be challenged.  There is a lesson in this for everybody, in that you should avoid fights because it is hard to defeat somebody who might be a zombie.

I totally enjoyed reading “Zombie Fight Song.” I could totally relate Steve’s character to that of many single men that I know.  Rather than lose face in an argument, even if they are obviously wrong, they would rather be macho and fight somebody.  In this case the tables were turned because Steve appeared to be dealing with a monster.  Or perhaps he really wasn’t one, and this was Steve’s way to justify being a jerk. Definitely a fun read!
