Zombies vs. the KKK: The darkest hour in undead civil rights history.
Allied Zombies for Peace covers the violent 42-minute time period that took place on November 11th, 1968, known as the Veterans Day Parade Massacre. This report outlines, according to eyewitnesses, the events that mark that day as a black stain on undead civil rights history.
Violence explodes when a shot is fired during the 1968 Veterans Day Parade in Columbus, Ohio. Not knowing who pulled the trigger, rivaling factions, The Allied Zombies for Peace and The Ku Klux Klan, turn on each other in a vicious flurry of urban combat. Other groups join the fight, including the Vietnam War veterans, a peace-loving group of hippies who call themselves the New Revolutionaries for Peace and Love, and veterans of World War I.

Chapter 1
A new cycle of small town terror loomed and those who had assembled at Abigail’s diner for pancakes, eggs, and coffee had no idea that within the coming weeks, their lives would change forever. The diner brimmed with its usual morning patrons, a mixture of blue collar everyday Joes and late season tourists filled the room with the sounds of clanking silverware and conversation—everything from politics to sports to deer hunting season. The grill hissed in the kitchen giving off an aroma that set every mouth in the place to salivating.
Kurt sat at a worn breakfast bar. A pair of callused handed loggers—probably carbo-loading on stacks of pancakes and coffee before heading to work—sat on one side of him. A nicely dressed couple—probably wrapping a relaxing vacation at the lake with a small-town breakfast before hitting the road—sat on the other.
Lucy Cadano—some would say the most beautiful senior at DePalma Beach High School—poured Kurt a fresh cup of coffee.
Both of the loggers and the masculine counterpart of the tourist couple took more than fleeting glances at her as she served Kurt. She ignored their protracted staring—she’d long

“Morning, you take a slice of pie with your coffee?”
“I think I’ll take a rain check on the pie. How’s your father?”
Lucy grimaced, a micro expression that left her face as quickly as it had come. “He’s … my father. Same guy, different day.”
“You still planning on going away to college?”
“I already have all my credits to graduate. I’m just marking time now at school and counting the days to freedom.”
“That’s great,” Kurt said. “You keep those grades up and you can write your own ticket in the world.”
Lucy smiled. “I plan to.”
“Order up,” Max Kinootzn, the owner and cook of Abigail’s Diner shouted from the kitchen.
“Gotta go,” she said.
“That goes for both of us.” Kurt checked his watch and stood up. He left half a cup of coffee sitting on the Formica countertop. He folded his newspaper, tucked it under his arm, and left Abigail’s Diner.
