Personal Narrative: A Zombie Apocalypse

Decent Essays
I think all of us, the undead, still value life at least a little bit. There is this unspoken rule, not that it could be spoken anyway, but the dead stay away from children. I have traveled with hordes before and came across children. I had no desire to pursue or consume their flesh, and apparently, neither did any of the other zombies. No one even looked in their direction. We just kept stumbling forward, paying them no mind. The first time this happened I was confused, because I wanted to eat, and there was food right in front of me, but I couldn’t bring or even force myself to go after the children. You see, being a living corpse is a bit confusing at times because, yes, I can think for myself, and even do what I wish at times, but other

    The Zombie Apocalypse is an event I feel I've been prepped for my entire life. Assuming typical scary movie rules apply: in order to survive I must find a rag tag group of people who are sane as well as very skill at using weapons. To help prevent being that that cliché person that trips, my team and I would raid a shoe store for well fitting, non slip shoes. Next we would wear various layers of coats just in case if we were caught, zombies would struggle to get to our flesh and we would have time escape from their grasp. Next we would travel north and go to a region that was not very populated prior to the apocalypse.…

    The zombie, as a concept, is related to many different subjects in the world today. Lauro and Embry in “A Zombie Manifesto: The Nonhuman Condition in the Era of Advanced Capitalism” correlate the different parts of the zombie to what they represent. In their writing they state “The zombie is historically tied to, and has been read alongside, the expansion of global capitalism.” (96)…

    If the zombie apocalypse were to occur and I am trapped at school, I’m using the knowledge gained from I Am Legend to survive. My survival plan is comprised of three parts. First and foremost, I would try my best to barricade any and all possible entrances to the school expect for two. These two entrances would be set in a place where only I could reach, somewhere high and lofty, requiring upper body strength and agility in order to get to them. Now these escape routes would also be look out points, they could be ways of escape if zombies were to ever break in and over throw my fort, or they could be used for me to locate the enemy at all time.…

    Before a survivor can even think about purifying water, they first must find an adequate water source. The easiest and safest form of water is bottled water, should there be any unopened bottles left to find. It has already been purified and does not require the following steps. Unfortunately, in the zombie apocalypse there are many other scavengers looking for supplies, so the chances of finding enough, if any, to keep a steady supply are very slim. The only choice left is to find water from other sources.…

You say that humans are easy to be eliminated and you are hard to be.…

    Buffy's vision blurred, damp hair covered part of her face, sticking with wet. She blinked her vision clearer for a minute, not quite ready to pull herself out of the puddle, not quite sure if she could. Face sideways in the water, cold and probably dying, flashes of how ran through her mind almost in slow motion, but almost in hyperspeed. The last weeks of sparring and battle-prep and the impending death march running like blood through her ears. Coming down here, determined, to end it.…

    In the midst of a zombie apocalypse the first thing that comes to mind is to panic. Everyone running in all different directions, screaming bloody murder, furniture spewed and knocked over, and paper being thrown in the air for no apparent reason. This is not the case in Professor Kitlinski’s Writing Composition class. We have been instructed to separate into our designated groups and organize our new community in an orderly fashion. Medics, engineers, security, hunters and gatherers, and humanities is everything necessary to survive our otherwise disastrous situation.…

    The creation of monsters like vampires and zombies presents itself as an allegory the “day to day existence.” Articles like “Why Vampires Never Die” by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan and “My Zombie, Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead “ by Chuck Klosterman emphasizes the correlation between folktale and reality. The difference between Folktale and reality is that folktale and reality is that folktale are variations of stories from many cultures, while reality is something that exist and can be proven. This creates room for the idea of death to be a significant aspect to the rise of monstrous beings, as listed prior. The idea of what happens after life, known as death varies amongst cultures and…

    “A lot of modern life is exactly like slaughtering zombies.” This statement is true in the eyes of Chuck Klosterman, where he expresses opinions in his article “My Zombie, Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead”. In correlation, to the movie Warm Bodies directed by Jonathan Levine one can see that there are many things that we can relate to in modern life that can also be seen in a zombie apocalypse world. For example, in both worlds you can see that once we adapt to our daily lives of work, school, invasion of zombies, and disease, we end up developing a predictable routine in life, no matter the situation. All in all, I believe that there are similarities in a zombie flesh eating world and in the modern world we live in today, we ourselves…

    Day 43 Burning the zombies might seem effective as it became harder to track us either by zombies or humans. Emma and Gigi went out to gather supplies in the forest. Bear just killed a wild cow that seemed to have just gotten lost in the area. I would sometimes feel guilty of having to slaughter animals especially since they are also living creatures but I always knew I would not have any other choice.…

    Could you ever imagine waking up one day and everything was different? Not being able to be sprawled out in your perfectly good bed each morning, but waking up in various locations for protection. Having to carry some sort of weapon every time you go outside just in case you run into a pack of zombies looking for fresh flesh. This all seemed too much and it was only my first year at Missouri State. A zombie apocalypse was not something I expected from college, especially to be one of the few survivors’ left on campus.…
