My name is Kerry, aka Kiba. I'm from Andover, England (American origins, of course. I'm not the first English zombie) - it's about an hour from London, or twenty minutes from Basingstoke.
My favourite character is most definitely Adam. He's just beautiful, isn't he?
I found the Generation Dead forums through a friend who wants to have Daniel Waters' babies.
I'm a zombie
I died in the ocean after I went swimming with some friends during the Summer holidays. I'd always been afraid of the sea, so I guess it was like the ultimate cosmic joke on me.
I've been gone a year and a half now - I've just got back the fine motor functions to pick up my old art habits again.
I'm nearly seventeen now, but I died when I was fifteen.
What I miss most about being alive? Probably being able to binge on Ben and Jerrys while watching my favourite movies. I always had a bit of a freaky thing about liking the sensation of coldness inside me - now, if I tried, it wouldn't make a difference, since I'm always cold now.
The coolest thing about being a zombie is probably that it shows just who your true friends are. The people who stuck by me are amazing. Silky, my best friend, helped me learn to move again - we practised by turning the pages of my favourite books. I never knew turning a page required such specific movement before.
I don't think my family on my dad's side even know I'm a zombie. They all live up North. But my family down here are very supportive - I don't know if you could say it helped that they're agnostic, so they didn't think I was part of the apocalypse or something! They do treat me a lot like glass now, though, and I hate that. How can I learn to do things for myself if they keep opening doors for me, or always try to physically lift me out of a chair? I love them, but it's hard, sometimes.
My most humiliating moment was about a week after I died. I was walking - well, shuffling - down town with Silky and this guy called Ben jumped out at me and kicked me in the stomach - I fell over and vomited up sea water that had been left in my belly. It was awful.
Visible signs of zombiism? I suppose my left leg doesn't move quite as fast as my right leg can, and my fingers often curl up and won't move - Silky is typing for me right now. My speaking is a little slower than the average zombie's, which can be frustrating for me and my friends. it means I always laugh too late when they tell a good joke.
My ambition is to join Tommy on our quest for zombie rights.
"If I were alive today, I would..." ... Probably appreciate Silky a whole lot more. When I was alive I never thought of him as much at all - just as another one of my friends. I never realised just how beautiful he is.
