Odds are you’re like me. You have a boring job, and a wife or girlfriend. Maybe you have some kids, maybe you have a dog. You have a mortgage, or rent, or whatever. And your job isn‘t just boring, I mean it’s mind-numbing, where people walk around like zombies everyday. An actual zombie apocalypse would at least mean you could do something about it.

Scruples

• • • — — — • • •

Think about every zombie movie and TV show you've ever seen.  I promise that in every single one there was this moment.  You know the moment I'm talking about.  A friend or loved one has turned or is turning into a zombie.  Everyone is sad.  A lot of the time it ends up being this horrible situation and that's what breaks up the group, or infects more people, you get the idea.

Now I understand the allure.  It taps into emotions and makes you think, blah, blah, blah.  So here's the thing, if you're in a zombie apocalypse, you've got to put emotions aside and think with cold logic.  It's why someday, when the zombie apocalypse happens, I'll survive, and you'll get killed by your Aunt Linda / Sister Cammy / Family Dog Rascal.  Sorry about your luck.  After I shoot your zombified corpse in the head, I'm laying down a big "I told you so".
