World War Dead



I spend a lot of my free time thinking. I think about life, love, hope, God and a majority of it involves a lot of food. I find myself alone in my room for hours at a time occupied with theories, ideals and beliefs. As a Libra, I like to weigh every option and consider every possibility. As a female, I tend to come up with the most outrageous scenarios. For example, I’m pretty sure the Quak-Nami , (earthquake and tsunami); scenario is a tad bit dramatic. However, that does not mean it is impossible. Humans spend their entire lives analyzing and deducing this planet and then we die with no answers. It’s sad. So in order to satisfy my curiosity, I think it would be fun to go over my crisis aversion plan. That’s right, I’m talking about my Zombie Apocalypse Survival Plan. First let’s start with what type of zombies we’re dealing with. Now it could be the traditional George A. Romero slow, raised from the dead zombies, which in that case I’m in the clear. However, let’s say they’re the reanimated, government infected, super speed zombies.

Ain’t nobody got time for that. 

I am a pretty active woman to say the least. I’ve played sports all my life, and exercise regularly, (not true), but reanimated zombies have more strength and speed than the regular human being. It’s because the virus has mutated their genes, making even the largest human a freaking unstoppable train. So this means I would have to build up my cardio. Look, survival is not about out running the zombies… it’s about out running everybody else. As long as I am in front of someone else, I should be fine. In the corner of my room is a bag. Inside that bag lies everything I would ever need to survive World War Z. I have the obvious pocketknife, band-aids, rope, sneakers, compass, gloves, and can opener. Then I have my personal touch including change of underwear, tampons, phone charger, (you never know), picture of Channing Tatum circa Magic Mike, toothbrush and pocket Bible. This is just a starting kit for me to get through the first few days.

Obviously, I can’t survive a full-blown attack with just that, but I assume by then I would have joined some sort of wolf pack and barter with other survivors. Although, you do NOT want to join a group too large, because then you’ll inevitably be an easy target for the zombies. A group of three to five is best. Now that we know what kind of zombies we’re rolling with and what is in the survival kit, we need to talk strategy. There are two different types of people during Z Day: those who fight and those who flee. I myself am more prone to the flee. There is no shame if running away from recently deceased people who want to eat you. Most of us would try and pretend that we would fight our way out of danger, but the truth is those who flee will arguably live longer. Obviously if my family, elderly woman, or a child were in danger I would aid, but what I’m not about to do is go around looking for trouble.

I would probably lie low and wait for the coast to clear. No doubt if the day of the dead were to happen all of these plans would probably go right out the window. Everything changes once people start eating people. The only thing that I am most positive about is that I would throw myself in front of every evil dead creature to save my family. They are the only entity on this planet that would be worth living for. It would be interested to see, all the money and cars and materials items that we hold so high becoming useless. What would be left for us in a world where flesh is the new happy meal? Where your friends are no longer your friends, but the competition? Where there is no more happy hour?

The only thing I can think of is love…and hopefully Channing Tatum.
