Eventually, she discovered a way to temporarily tame zombies, and in some cases convert them into beings that are capable of loving others. It is often thought that zombies are creatures without feelings, but after watching a zombie stomp on a giant slug in her yard one day, she noticed how it seemed noticeably happier after the fact.
