Forewarning: This will be a popular topic on the blog
If you're anything like me you have bought into the zombie craze that plagues pop culture today. And why wouldn't you? Imagining yourself in a burnt out, transformed society where Wal-mart will no longer be your means of sustenance with rampant lawlessness and constantly being on the lookout for flesh-eating ghouls is nothing short of exhilarating. Oh yeah, not to mention running into lunatics that haven't been infected yet that will, no doubt, already be in places you're looking to shack up for the night. Sweet dreams
So picture yourself, at home, work, gym, 7-11, Best Buy, Quizno's, Piercing Pagoda, Ralph's Adult Super Store, I don't care (sicko) but would you be prepared to defend yourself from the living dead? If you haven't composed a zombie-escape plan for your house yet then your behind the power curve.
Write about getting out of your hometown alive, how you would move your loved ones, what your weapon of choice would be, where would you go? Are there different zombie types you've come in contact with? Let me know because I'm genuinely interested.
REFERENCES (ZOMG!#$)
If I've motivated your inner survivor, there are plenty of fountains of knowledge to slake your thirst:
-- Max Brooks: Author of "The Zombie Survival Guide" and "World War Z", which are both books nothing short of epic
-- Left 4 Dead (1 and 2) - made by Valve, downloadable (word?) on Steam, the closest you'll probably ever come to caving in some maggot infested craniums (unless your a sadistic grave robber, in which case go eat a Glock you freak)
-- The Walking Dead - Fantastic comic book series written by Robert Kirkman, Charlie Adlard, and Cliff Rathburn
-- The Zombie Hunters - An online comic I discovered and actually enjoy, check it out
