 Charlie-

17-Year-old senior at high school studying physics and the protagonist of this series. With the upcoming prospect of paying for University and his family’s recent financial troubles, Charlie desperately searched around his town for work. After seeming to apply to every available business in town and not hearing anything back he began to panic, that is until he stumbled across a secluded diner at the edge of town he didn’t know existed and upon enquiring, was hired on the spot. The job consisted of a 6-day week, only working the night shifts and had a yearlong contract that he couldn’t back out of. It all seemed pretty intense and a tad shady but he was desperate, so accepted.

Since emerging from his grave as his zombified self, his vocabulary has been limited to the word “Burger” and occasionally other items from the diner menu.
