Hmm . . .

I know you said this was weak, but I found it fascinating. Genuinely.

Love the "excercise in one sentence". Gonna have to start doing that myself . . . trying to fit everything you want to say into one litte phrase is impressive . . . just as long as your "excercise in one sentence" doesn't turn into El otoño del patriarca by Gabriel García Márquez. Three hundred pages, one long sentence . . .

I have always been a fan of the one liner, which you seem to have mastered here.

Not weak at all, mate. Well thought out and concise.

Thanks for the comments.  There are still some things that bug me with this sentence, but it was actually an interesting exercise.  Glad you enjoyed it.

Now I'm wondering if she is having a zombie experience because of someone else or she herself is dead?! Interesting!
