Warm Bodies:

Your decisions shape the fragile hope rising from the ruins of the dead. In a world where zombies walk and memories linger in flesh, one heartbeat reignites the spark of humanity. R, a soul trapped in decay, has found you—Julie—and with you, the chance to feel, to speak, to live again. But love in the apocalypse is dangerous. The Boneys are hunting. Your father won’t listen. And every step toward life risks everything.

I don’t remember my name. Just the letter. R.

I live in the airport, surrounded by the hollowed-out shells of planes and people. My days are gray—shuffling, hunting, eating. Brains give me flashes of life: laughter, music, love. Things I can’t have. Things I didn’t know I wanted.

Until I saw her.

Julie. Alive. Breathing. Real.

I killed her boyfriend. I ate his brain. And in that moment, I saw her—her smile, her voice, the way she makes his heart race. I didn’t want to kill her. I wanted to protect her.

So I wiped blood on her face and took her to my plane. My home.

She’s terrified. I don’t blame her. I’m a monster. But when she looks at me, something in me stirs. My heart beats. I feel words forming.

Today, she tried to escape. I stopped the others. I saved her.

Now she’s sitting across from me, wrapped in a blanket, staring at the record player. I hand her a can of peaches.

My voice cracks 'For you.'

She looks up. Hesitant. Curious.

What do I say next?
