Personal Narrative: I Am Like A Zombie Apocalypse

Improved Essays
Brady,

The last few years have been like a zombie apocalypse to say the least. We've had many arguments where things have been said and feelings hurt. Never did we really sit down and discuss what happened or had a heartfelt apology. We just brushed it under a very large rug and moved on. Obviously that has not been working. As we continue to argue and not truly forgive, while not changing what we are doing I feel like we are slipping further and further away from each other. One particular moment that happened between us has been lingering over me every time we get together no matter how hard I try to forget that moment in time. First let's start with the happier times.

As kids I looked up to you more than you could ever know. I did a lot of stuff you did because I wanted to be like you. We bickered like most sibling but I knew you had my back. I remember the good times with you. Pulling pranks on each other, playing army in the front yard, and you cheating to win in basketball. I know I was a pain sometimes but looking back I wish you had more patients with me. Overtime things changed and not for the better.

It was the summer of 2015, Friday, right before we were going out to dinner. I came to apologize for my part in the argument we had earlier in the day. You began to yell like usual and those 9 words came out of your mouth. Those 9 words crushed me. I was able to move passed it for mom during Christmas. I thought it went well during Christmas so I thought I should come out for spring break. That did go well at all. I will admit my attitude was not great but once you started yelling all I heard was those 9 words. The summer of 2015 and that spring break of 2016 are the true reasons I did not go to the reunion in

    Zombie Apocalypse Around 10 a.m. I woke up, stretched and brushed my teeth. I turned on my television, like my daily routine. Well, today was different. Every channel displayed, “Breaking News: ‘Evacuate your homes now and get to a safe location, a zombie apocalypse has started and is coming to an area near you’”.…

    Sometimes we refer to someone behaving “like a zombie.” This phrase could mean several things. A person could be mumbling, walking slowly, or eating very aggressively. These are all characteristics of zombies, and sometimes people act like them.…

    “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…

    The day began much the same as any other – meaning I managed to stumble out of bed and drift through the menial tasks of the morning, but little else. In short, nothing terribly interesting happened beyond the fact I didn’t singe my eyebrows off or burn my home down in an effort to cook breakfast. Actually, considering my zombie state of mind, I completed my chores with a shocking amount of success. An achievement, I must admit, that inspired me to journey beyond the walls of my safe little box yet again. I set out fairly early, this time determined to explore the area closer to my oh-so-humble abode, curious as to what riches I might find.…

    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.…

    “Did you know 14% of Americans believe in a zombie apocalypse?” My mom instantly rolled her eyes at the T.V. blasting the news in the family room. “Kate, I hope you realize something like that will never happen,” my mom said, concerned I would believe the crazy idea. My friends used the zombie apocalypse idea to scare me when we would sit around the campfire at camp. We would all huddle together, scared at the thought.…

    Zombie Overtake All I can hear is the growl of my stomach and the sound of my best friend scratching at my door. Well, what used to be my best friend, now she is a flesh-eating zombie and the right now the flesh she craves is mine. I am the only one left unaffected by this horrendous. Luckily, I had just enough time to grab a few items before I locked myself in my room. I have a bag of can goods, a gallon of water, two small knives, and a baseball bat for protection.…

    I was a “zombie” for “The Walking Dead” I remember the day I first “discovered” Robert Kirkman’s “The Walking Dead” as if it happened today. I heard about the show through commercials, social media, and from friends, but it never really captured my full interest because it seemed like a generic zombie action movie, and I’ve already seen plenty of those. Anyway, one day, while playing on my PS3, I found myself bored out of my mind because none of my friends were available and I didn’t have anything interesting to play on my own. I then browsed my wide game collection that I unintentionally built up due to receiving free games from Sony’s game subscription service “Playstation+.” I noticed I had Telltale’s “The Walking Dead: The Game” stored…

    If everyone was to join the walking dead except me then I would find a place for shelter that was sturdy, underground, and has its own near by stream such as a cave in a mountain or forest. An absolute essential thing to have would be a stockpile of nonperishable foods and a clean water source. I would have to make sure to have weapons such as rifles, crossbows, hand axes, knives, and crowbars, to take with me in case I would need to defend myself along with setting up traps that would keep the zombies at bay. I would need a paper map and compass along with knowing how to read them, pre-GPS navigational skills is one of the most valuable in a post apocalyptic time. Thick clothing made from leather would be a great way to decrease the chance…

    I actually really loved the first season of Fear The Walking Dead a lot. I won't lie, I was skeptical at first. The Walking Dead has been my favorite show since it first aired and I haven't had the greatest experience with spin off shows so I wasn't too excited when they announced this. However, I knew I would definitely watch it and give it a chance.…

    If I were to wake up to a zombie apocalypse I would figure out what places in my own home were weak spots and reinforce with whatever materials are available in the current place(being my house and garage). After I have reinforced my house I would find whatever I can use as a weapon, whether it be a stick or my dad’s .45, anything hard and sturdy could be used as a weapon. Knowing I am not the healthiest person, I would have to get beefy and would start to work out doing push-ups and running or cycling like I am running away from zombies to build cardio so it is easier to run if I have no other options. I would find whatever fuel sources I have to fill up the f-250 in front of my house, even if it is not the most fuel efficient it would do…

    I killed my best friend third period, I killed my favorite teacher fourth, by fifth period I was not sure if I was dead too. The night before everything ended I stayed up watching “The Walking Dead.” What a coincidence, I wish Rick Grimes would attend my school. I’ve seen too many zombie movies so I know what to do. The bad thing is that I didn’t possess any guns, my best friend would now be a broken broom.…

    If you are like me, you have a difficult time learning to balance life in general. My hardest thing is using my time efficiently and learning when to say “no” to people. I have realized that I spend more than eight hours of my week sitting on my butt watching television. That time could be much more productive and I could actually get ahead in my day-to-day duties as a mother and housewife. With better time management skills, I would be able to get a lot more done during the day.…
