Zombiepocalypse



We were discussing the zombiepocalypse, but in a different sense than I ever have before. Of course we’ve all put a little thought into what would happen if the zombie virus outbroke, or if hell overflowed and dead corpses reanimated, or however it happens. And furthermore, you’ve probably thought how you want this to happen because living in post-apocalyptic zombieland would be kinda cool and fun or whatnot. Some people even go as far as prepreparing for this event. I think that’s so diculous, it’s ridiculous on many levels. First of all, different causes of the apocalypse require different preparation. While some things hold true for everything (kill the brain), if it’s the virus we’re dealing with, you can’t get their blood on you, versus hell overflowing, you just can’t die. These require different approaches and weapons. Secondly, if you’re prepreparing, you’re cheating and I don’t appreciate that. It’s going to be hard enough to survive without you getting a head start. Also that’s stupid because the likelihood of this is relatively low. You don’t see people preparing for a meteor hitting earth but that could happen. Don’t get me wrong, having a gameplan isn’t necessarily a bad idea, but buying a machete is over the top. Also, discussing what would happen and how you would respond is an interesting topic of conversation, which is what I did with the new people the other day. Basically, my idea would be to form a band with the people I like most and know well (that were still alive obviously). The people I was with didn’t seem so keen on this idea. It was their opinion that were that to happen, most groups of people lose morality and the leader of said group would turn it into a ruthless, kill all outsiders, do absolutely anything it takes to survive type of minination. I would like to think I know better people than that. Plus if I actually was to create this band, I would not want to be its leader. Also, the scientific mind that I possess cherishes the thoughts of all others. Thoughts beget thoughts and the human collective is so much more powerful than the sum of its individuals. All (living) outsiders would be more than welcome if they proved they weren’t destructive to the cause, and if they were destructive, they would either be turned away, or if absolutely necessary, confined in a space of their own, apart from our own.
