The other day I was fantasizing about being a homeowner. I was thinking about how difficult it might be for me to actually select a place, because at least half of my consideration would be based on how well I could fortify the place against zombies and their reckoning. Where would I store a stockpile of 2x4's, a hammer & nails? Are the stairs made of wood so I can destroy them easily with an ax? How close am I to a major city? Would my family forgive me for making sure we were on the side of town furthest from a hospital? Is it better for people to assume I have a katana collection because I'm an anime nerd or should I tell them it's because the gun stores will be the first to get ransacked?
"Night of the Living Dead" was the first zombie-related piece of media I was ever exposed to. It's hard to say what about that film flipped a switch in my brain, but I think it has something to do with my feelings of mortality. I don't want to die. I have come to terms with the fact that I am going to, in fact it is the ONLY thing I am sure of in this world. The thing with zombies though, is that you are given the opportunity to prove how much you want to live. Death surrounds us, with zombies it becomes quite literal.
I don't know man, zombies are just fucking rad. It may have more to do with my imagination. Zombies are a creative tool, allowing me to create hundreds of scenarios and possibilities.
