#plus the game trailers do so well with contrasting the cheerful imagery with grotesque zombie gore

The hardest part about dating a zombie mutant is making them behave so you both don't get killed by other humans that are unaware some zombies are actually friendly.

Destiny tries hard but Zeke tries harder and refuses to behave without some compensation in return.

For some short story context, Zeke is a mutant zombie who isn't quite alive but isn't quite dead either and Destiny is a human.

They are trying to survive in a post apocalypse world. It's kinda like an alternate timeline to my normal universe…but zombies happened at some point.
