Thursday, September

Tonight is the grand night when my four sisters and I will attend the ball thrown by the young man that has recently occupied Netherfield Park. We have been impatiently waiting for this night to arrive. Father has mentioned that the young man, Mr. Bingley, that Netherfield it now occupied is a man of large fortune. Mother is very much distressed at the fact that before the recent arrival of Mr. Bingley, a household of eighteen was slaughtered by a horde of the living dead. Father is more interested in the fact that Mr. Bingley could be a fine match for one of his daughters.

My sisters and I have been vigorously primping to look our very best for this most important occasion. I am sure all the young ladies of this household pray that the zombies do not rudely interrupt this joyous evening. Most unfortunately a recent rain has softened the ground enough for zombies to become an issue once again.

Following the ball…

As the evening proceeded the event was not as wonderful as planned. Once arriving to the ball and being joined to a dance with three bachelors, I decided that I would sit for a dance. I was then invited to dance with a man going by Mr. Darcy. In midst of our dance he proceeded to tell how uncommonly pretty my younger sister was, and how agreeable he believed her to be. If Mr. Darcy had meant to talk to my sister then he should have approached her for a dance. I was enraged that he had danced with me trying to get to my sister. Once the dance ended Mr. Darcy excused himself to matters outside. I reached down to my dagger concealed beneath my dress, I meant to follow Mr. Darcy outside and inform how very well trained the Bennets are.

“ No sooner had I grabbed the handle of my weapon than a chorus of screams filled the assembly hall.” (pg.14) Immediately my sisters and I formed a five-pointed star, working our way across the hall slaughtering unmentionables as we moved. By the time we had reached the exit all the zombies lay beheaded on the no longer shined floor. As the evening began to close mother concluded that she had over all enjoyed the evening, which all the five other young ladies from the Bennet household agreed. Although to most, this evening would have been unforgettably horrendous; to the Bennet household it was just another evening.
