A long time teacher doesn't let something as small as a Zombie Apocalypse stop her from giving her students an education. This is a creepy, rather horrifying story that I love so much I felt I needed to buy this anthology just for it. On the one hand Ms. Geiss does a remarkably good job at keeping herself alive and fortifying her surroundings. If I ever got caught in a Zombie Apocalypse I can only hope to be half as resourceful as she is honestly. On the other she's bat shit crazy and doesn't seem to think there's an issue there. Her class is made up of previous students who have all been zombified. She neutralizes whatever threat they can be to her, shackles them to their desks and proceeds to teach them, acting as if she tries hard enough they may respond.
Its rather heart breaking. In between watching her lament her class' vacant expressions, we see her bulldoze the surrounding area to get better view of the terrain, remember vacations and times past, Ms. Geiss really tried to reach out for these kids. She wanted to protect them, just as she tried to protect them when they were alive. Yes she's off her rocker, but the ending makes it possible to think that if someone tries hard enough maybe bad behaviors can be curbed.
