Should it be told...

Human Beings are such a frail lot, and I am not talking about people. Human Beings feel, they sense, they accept, they love, they dream. People are just people, they exist. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing terribly bad about just existing. I myself have gone thru that mode more then once in this life. Sometimes it’s a survival thing, other a conscious choice, and sometimes it just happens. But I do believe that people have brought our downfall. It is thru them that the zombie apocalypse has begun.


But hoards of the living dead are not traveling the streets and trying to eat my brains, or so you think.

One of the common misbelieve of zombies and the ensuing mayhem is that it’s a fast acting type of virus or plague that once exposed, almost immediately turns you into a non-breathing, non-intelligent, instinct only, hateful, living dead. That works great for a 1+ hour movie that can’t invest time into plot. You know, only 2 months to go from normal to total shit-storm, Alice wakes in the hospital to a world overrun with Umbrella Corp host, or the radio reports first sightings and sudden they are everywhere. In real life, I believe that it is a much slower disease. Growing, spreading, and mutating for years if not decades. It infects at a basic level and has multiple strains that mutate and re-inoculate, strengthen in the host and spreading the infection to others. Whether it conforms to the actual definition of a “virus” is non-consequential. It is a plague and it is amongst us here today. If we as Human Being don’t recognize it and address it, sooner or later it will reach the pandemic proportions, and the infectious will become the undead (we all know and dread), and it will go to total shit-storm overnight.

When a Human Beings cease to sense life, looses the feeling of inner connectivity of all, and no longer feel the oneness and energy they becomes a people. I think at that moment, they are most vulnerable to the zombie infection. Some how it just “know when you are at your weakest, it smells it”. I think it is an aura change that gives the new people away. You can tell people from Human Being, people who are just existing, skating thru life, they don’t have a bright glow. At that point their energy levels are low and the zombie infection sneaks in thru their eyes. The windows of the soul, and there it darkens the soul and infect the brain. One would think that if this is so, we would have been able to detect it. But much like a pandemic, the first signs will be missed. There will be an upward spike in reports of illness that then initially drops. These will be brushed off as some other common problem, and by the time we understand the true nature of the disease, the infection will have spread and multiplied exponentially. Reports of the illness will have drastically increased and will be on the up climb of a ferocious spike of reports, and it will be too too late. Kind of like a canary in the coal mine. Which initially seems like a good idea, but by the time one realizes the bird is dead from poisonous gas, you are already dead, you just don’t know it yet.

So the zombie infection attacks the brain, swelling it, subjugating the soul, destroying and rotting the Human Being part. One becomes selfish, bigoted, and greedy. They become hateful fear mongering shells. Shadows of Human Beings, living in your skin and hungry for others and their brains. They seek them out to infect them too, like chalk on a chalk board. The zombies are out there, and they are coming for you, to eat your brains. It’s just not such a Graphic Novel idea of eating, a lot less blood.

Trust me, I wish it was the way of the Hollywood zombies. It is so much easier to get rid of zombies by just bashing them in the head with a rock.
