One of the greatest fixtures of mine and my sister’s childhood was a lanky browned-haired girl whose mission in life seemed to be to never outgrow childhood and to make surreptitious fart jokes as long as she lived. Let’s call her Toots. Calling her Jane would make more sense [...]

Friendships Never Die. Actually they DO. But Memories Don’t. Unless You’re Senile.
Max Rambles: Zombieland
Words by: Max Rothschild
Throughout Zombieland, we are repeatedly told that there are rules to surviving in a world overrun by the undead.
