Diary of a Teenage Zombie || ONC 2021

(Round 3/longlist Ambassador Pick)

Open Novella contest 2021

For seventeen-year-old Toby, it's hard enough being a teenager. But then the world went and ended, and he got turned into a member of the undead community. Now his life consists of chasing his dinner down the road and hiding from gun toting maniacs who are determined to blow his head off.

So he starts writing it all down on a notepad he found in the pocket of his unfortunate friend Moe. A way to process this new life he is now leading.

Then one day he crosses paths with someone he used to know from school, she's a zombie too, just like Toby and she's in trouble. He soon finds himself on a mission, a mission to save her. Along the way he runs into Charlie and Meg. They want to help him save his friend, but they soon discover far more sinister things going on.

Hopefully, he can manage to stay alive (well, kind of alive) and save zombiekind.
