Hollywood Zombie Part 01

Jason had this penthouse apartment that was centrally located in Beverly Hills. He was incredibly clean, but in an overwhelming kind of way.

You're a zombie, that's just what you are, a zombie, so it's a dream!" He threw up his hands. "You can't win!" “I can't win, yeah? That’s right, I can't win.
