"We do the best that we can with what God gives us, don't we. If God gives us stones when we ask for bread, we will sharpen our teeth and eat stones." 
 "Or make ... our own bread." 
 The war is over. The zombies have won. They are so definitively victorious that they have settled down into hives where they have their own culture, complete with schools, churches and family units. They hang out together, play records, and hunt a little when they get hungry. 
 R is a common zombie who has an uncommon experience. After killing a young man and eating his brain, he falls in love with the guy's girlfriend, and takes her home to the hive instead of eating her. The two form a bond as they help each other survive, and realize that life can be more than mere survival. 
 This is the weirdest re-telling of Romeo and Juliet I've ever read.
