Personal Narrative: Zombie Apocalypse

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’”. The first three things I decided I needed to do were a zombie apocalypse would be to gather my family who were uninfected, run out of town, and find someone creating an antidote.
It took checking my phone for over 300+ text messages to realize that the Zombie Apocalypse was real. Shocked. My survival instincts kicked in. I got dressed, rain boots, big, thick jacket, I was prepared. After replying to my mother, my aunts and uncles, a cousin, and my best friend’s text messages, we decided to all meet at my aunt's house to figure out a plan. As I continued to watch the channel 4 FOX News, I packed my bags and put them into my car. The news said there were safe zones in North Carolina, Virginia, Alabama and Arizona. Outside, cars were honking and sirens were going off in the distance so we knew we

Suddenly a zombie fell in the middle of the road out of nowhere, blocking our path. The car backed up and in the rear view is a zombie which startled everyone in the car. Then two others appeared and started attacking the car vigorously. The tall chubby zombie was really strong and cracked the windshield with its fist in one swing. I saw the red rage in his bloodshot eyes. Wow. There also was a short lanky zombie off to the side roaring its zombie gibberish at the two attacking, and started running towards the car! Immediately, my uncle reversed the car and ran clear over the zombie behind us and its corpse leaked out a mustard-colored, green substance that reminded me of liquid boogers. Yuck. Thankfully when we got back on track, we reached Alabama with no more zombie

    Zombie Geographies

    In Jeff May’s Zombie Geographies and the Undead City, he starts by explaining that “contemporary zombie films mark a geographical move to large urban areas, bringing the zombie masses to the city and foregroundIng urban fears while containing implicit messages about social difference and otherness”(May 286). I found this quote extremely interesting. If I could fast forward time, and somehow be placed in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, I would chose to be in a more rural or even suburban area. A city would not be a place that I would chose to go if I was trying to survive an apocalypse. I have had the opportunity to live in more suburban areas such as Rochester Michigan, rural areas such as Monclova Township in Ohio, and the extreme urban area of Tokyo, Japan.…

    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…

    Imagine living in a post-apocalyptic world where living in constant fear of zombies has become a new normal. Every little move that is made or every noise that is made can depend on life or death. Everything someone worked hard for would be destroyed and there would be no where to go for help. Would this push someone over the edge or would this push them to keep trying to survive? This is what The Walking Dead is all about.…

    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.…

    Where did our twenty-first century incarnations of the zombie come from, and how did they develop as time elapsed? James Parker’s “Our Zombies, Ourselves” discusses several of the past and present zombies, their stereotypical designs, and how different medias portray society’s definition of a zombie. One of the first subjects Parker covers is that of society’s preconception of the undead. We, and apparently everyone else dating back to the early 1900s, imagine the zombie as abysmally lethargic, with greyed skin, mutilated limbs, and an unending desire to consume living flesh. Parker regales the reader with a tale of the zombie’s evolution through poetry, books, movies, television, and even songs.…

    Most people would get out of their car to see if the “person” is ok, then immediately freak out and jump back in their car to drive off. Then what would you do? Well, the first step is to find a place with a plenty of food, first aid kit, firearms, soap, clean clothes, medical gloves, duct tape, and extra gas for your car if you are going on a cross country zombie killing roadtrip. Funny enough, the place that actually has all these items (at least, according to their website) is Walmart. Also, if you happen to find one on your way to run your errands, it would be much easier to carry your items in an RV or larger vehicle if all you have is a beat up Saturn.…

    “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…

    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.…

    I looked up to my left and saw a guard rail with a river behind it, the car was heading towards it. My sister took control of the wheel and steered us the best she could towards the ditch. It was all green everywhere as the rear of the car hit the ditch first and spun us around, sending the front hitting the ditch as well. We spun around one more time, completing two 360’s. It might have been the wrong thought, but I was thinking about the airbags deploying at top speed, knocking us in the face, and injuring…
