Sherri: Well, you should. You created her.
Charlotte: You're the one who suggested she be a zombie.
Sherri: I thought you didn't want to give me any credit.
Charlotte: (shrugs). You might have some good ideas. From time to time. But where did you find her?
Sherri: That's not Abbot, Charlotte. It's Madonna.
Charlotte: The Madonna?
Sherri: Probably not the one you're thinking. Madonna Ciccone. 80s icon? Celebrated pop star? Michigander turned Brit?
Charlotte: Oh, one of your friends from Michigan?
Sherri: (shakes head). No, I only lived in Michigan(Canton) for a few years. And not while Ms. Madge was there, as far as I know.
Charlotte: Madge? I thought you said she was Madonna?
Sherri: (sighs) It's a nickname. You know, like Rochester tends to call Jane "Janet."
Charlotte: So you and Madge are friends, then?
Sherri: No, I've never met her. She's a celebrity. I think the paparazzi made it up. Or maybe she is Madge to friends. I have no idea.
Charlotte: It was so much easier in the old days, before Internet and Paparazzi. But, if she's famous, why hasn't anyone saved her?
Sherri: Saved her?
Charlotte: She's a zombie, isn't she? The sunken cheeks, the pallor? Where are all the slayers? Someone should save her from her mortal bounds and send her soul on to peace.
Sherri: She's not a zombie. It's just a rather unfortunate picture.
Charlotte: Hm. I'll take your word for it. Speaking of pictures, have you any more of that Bradley Cooper fellow?
Sherri: Aha! I knew you liked him.
Charlotte: Ahem. No. It's simply for a character study. I was thinking of writing some more about St. John's adventures in India.
Sherri: Really? Sounds like fun. Can I help?

I loved this, Sherri! And that is quite a scary picture of Madonna.
Thanks. :) It is a really scary picture. Maybe she was hungry. I'm always testy when I'm hungry.
