Dean moved the automatic gear shift to reverse and we both spun towards the center of the car, craning our necks to look behind. We were met part way by a snarling Julie. Her eyes were white like her skin and her jaws spread wide. She had turned.
We both screamed as the car shot backwards wildly at a high speed. The momentum brought the now undead Julie forward just as fast. My neighbor had casually reached his arm around behind my seat as he had turned to support the twist in his body. His limb was in direct line with his former girlfriend's salivating mouth. I jammed my left hand back as quickly as I could and grabbed a fistful of long, greasy hair, stopping her teeth mere inches from Dean's arm.

The shambling dead were mostly coming from the opposite direction. We leapt the railing and dropped to the ground. As we crossed the rest of the house’s front, a zombie came from between the two houses and crashed headlong into my friend. They went down in a tangle, Dean winding up on the bottom, propped up awkwardly by the duffel over his shoulder. Desperately holding his attackers head away from his own I came up behind the creature and, raising the tire iron, dispatched it with a blow to the head. I could feel the vibration ring through the iron shaft as it struck the skull of the zombie.
As my neighbor pushed the now still corpse off of his body, I just stood there, blood dripping off my weapon. It was a weird feeling, killing. Although the beast would have killed both of us with no remorse, I felt strange. This was the second time I had killed.
Sure I had killed countless insects in the field or lab, but now I was ending the life of something very human. Something inside me changed. The world had changed into a place of

    From television to novels to haunted houses, these monsters have become an influence not only in the realms of fantasy but in reality. The intrigue for these monsters comes not from the scares they provide, but rather how they mirror the lives of people across the world. Through his essay, My Zombie, Myself, Chuck Klosterman is able to effectively utilize allusions, anecdotes, and figurative language while exploring how the image of the zombie is embedded into society in order to illustrate how the lives of people in reality is not that far from the lives of those in the midst of the…

    With her phone not working, she had no one to consult over her fear, and so she sat trembling in silence in her seat. Her fear began to subside around seven o'clock, when the train was moving furiously through Virginia and her stomach began to growl. It had been several hours since the last sign of her stalker, and she had convinced herself he had boarded the train to leave the present for her and then departed. She passed through three other passenger cars before she reached the dining car, where she intended on ordering a cheeseburger.…

    Zombie Trouble: Zombie Texts, Bare Life And Displaced People Introduction There is controversy as to what is the scariest thing to human beings about the zombie and everyone scampers for refuge when they come across a zombie. It has been said that we are most intensely aware of ourselves as subjects when we feel afraid. This is, especially when we feel our bodies are threatened by an external force like a zombie. Fear increases the awareness of ourselves since individuality is endangered in situations that are life- threatening. This is found in the model of a zombie attack.…

    Rotting, undead creatures walking the earth with only one primal thought and purpose, to eat and kill the living—this is a typical depiction of zombies and their behavior. The kind of zombie who strikes fear in the hearts of the living because the zombies threaten their very existence, way of life, and everything they’ve ever known. But what if there was more to the undead than meets the eye? Imagine zombies that could think and speak and act upon desires other than eating the flesh of the living. The human spirit is not easily killed and because of this resilience, a zombie’s innermost desires and tendencies can remain intact, allowing it to defy typical zombie behavior.…

    This pack was bigger than all the other packs that we had fought, so I knew Steven was going to get scared. I told him to run back inside and to not come out until I had told him to. I then yanked the machete from my backpack and began to swing, all of a sudden I was down on the ground screaming. I heard gunshots and saw zombies falling one by one, who was this shooting? I got up after all the zombies were “dead”, because they cannot be any deader than they already were, and looked around for the shooter.…
