Notes on the zombie apocalypse

The zombie is quite a popular concept these days. It must have overtaken vampires and werewolfs by now, after the first ones got degraded to shiny teenagers (thanks, Twilight saga) or messy monsters (thanks, Skyrim) and the second ones to muscly teenagers (thanks, Twilight saga) or equally messy monsters (thanks, Skyrim). Zombies are in fact such a powerful concept in pop culture right now, the guy made a fortune on writing a Zombie Survival Guide.


But it's already too late.


If you look into the empty eyes of that third generation benefit scrounger in the post office line behind you, observe the automatically gum chewing gob of that thirty something suit lost in the rhythmic noise leaking from his headphones, or try to walk past a Next shop during the sale avoiding the claws and teeth of the mindless horde trying to grab what their rotten brains tell them they need - you will realise that zombie apocalypse has already happened. If you managed to read all the way to here - congratulations, count yourself the survivor. If you're skimming the text attracted by the word 'zombie' - you're probably infected. To the zombiefied I have nothing to say cause they will not read this.
