god. the last two days have been horrible. matthew was attacked after school on thursday. i really don’t want to write too much about it. he’s still functioning, but he was severely damaged, and nobody really knows if they can do anything for him. at the same time, they don’t know if he needs anything done for him. people have never really done much research into healing zombies. we’ve always been much more concerned with killing them than keeping them alive. so, um… here’s the ap story about what happened. i went ahead and took out the identifying info. if you really want to know who i am or where i am, you can just search for the story, but i don’t care.

XXXX, Minn. – A mobile deceased teenager named Matthew XXXX was attacked and severely beaten by several unknown assailants in the XXXX High School parking lot.
Police officials say that they are assuming that the attack was politically motivated. Matthew was serving as a test case for allowing mobile deceased into public schools, and had just started attending classes on Tuesday, the first day of the new school year.
On Matthew’s second day of classes, he and his sister [zombiegrrl] had to cross a picket line of other students and their parents. Protesters claimed that they were concerned over the safety of the students, as well as what some have called the “clandestine admission” of Matthew to the school, referring to the secrecy in which the test case was arranged.
Matthew’s parents said that shortly after the end of Matthew’s first school day, they started receiving an incredible number of phone calls, from people on both sides of the issue. The phone calls have continued unabated ever since. In their daily reports to the school district, Matthew’s family made multiple references to threats, both called in to the family’s home, and made directly to Matthew at school.
After school on Thursday, a group of masked teenagers met Matthew, his sister, and his hired caregiver in the school parking lot, as they were preparing to leave for home. Two of the assailants held [zombiegrrl] and the caregiver, while four others proceeded to attack Matthew. After the attack, the assailants left quickly without saying anything further.
Matthew is currently in protective custody. A spokesman for the police claimed that he was receiving medical care, although few doctors are qualified to care for deceased Americans. The official also stated that the police had several leads, and were investigating the case with “extreme diligence.”
Matthew’s family have stated publicly that they will not be intimidated, and that Matthew will return to school when he is able.

i’ll probably post something else about this in the next day or two, but right now, i just can’t deal with this anymore. i’m fine. matthew’s stable. i’ll be back sometime soon.
