This is very... descriptive. I like it. Fairly realistic. I mean, the satck of ** is only logical. :)
I don't understand why the zombies wouldn't attack him. Was it the fire?

Not a bad start, but I hope you add a twist to make this a memorable Romero knock off. I prefer a story by Steven King based on the same concept: Home Delivery in his collection of short stories entitled 'Nightmares and Dreamscapes'. You may want to read it for inspiration.
