Today is that big promotion at work – so, you wake up eagerly and turn on the TV while getting ready for the day. However, the TV only shows static on every channel. This angers you; you mumble on how when you get back home you’re going to let the TV-company have it. After a few attempted, but failed phone calls, you begin to realize something isn’t right today. Finally, while looking outside you notice chaos. There are people running around in fear, plums of smoke everywhere, some guy being viciously eaten on nearby sidewalk. You inevitably understand the zombie apocalypse has occurred. Thankfully, you’ve mentally prepared for this day…



     This is no time to be trying to save valuables in the house, forget your Family Guy DVD collection, and especially forget your MacBook. You need to be grabbing any and all water you can get. It’s important to get at least half a dozen pairs of socks, but only a few shirts and pants. No shorts.  Throw it in the biggest bag you’re able to find less than fifteen minutes.  After gathering up some other things around the house important for the road, you can now wonder outside cautiously.

You’re going to want to make the attempt to find a place with more supplies so you can stock up for a longer trip. It’s best to travel quickly and quietly, so a bicycle will work.  Once you make your way to a nearby grocery store then you can check if it’s safe to go inside (or even worth your time). If you lucky, the virus spread faster than the herds of people could fall into pandemonium, ravaging all available supplies, then you might be able to hold up inside for a day or two collecting bags to fill will and equip your bike well.

Most likely by now, you will have had to prove you can stay alive to the force of the virus by encountering a few zombies head on. As you make way for the adventure to meet up with friends, family, or some guy you planned a zombie escape with via craigslist, just make sure you dress in thick clothes with to avoid any close contact with the diseased. The mountains or underground with a large stockpile is best place to seek out for a few months/years of waiting. 




     Zombies are going to spread to take over the entire population unless something can slow them down, somehow...and you’re just going to hide and lay low for a while? That’s the most sure way to get overrun, you must do something. In the case of a zombie apocalypse, it’s best to strike hard and strike often. You are going to ride a bike around? Seriously? How are you going to transport enough of anything on a bike? Give me a semi, a zombie crushing, food storing juggernaut


I do agree on the clothes, shorts would be a bad idea. You just mow down a group of undead and one has just enough “life” to take a chomp at your ankle and it’s game over. It will be necessary to have a partner or two to watch your back, just be sure to not become too attached so in case they are infected you won’t hesitate to blow their brains out. Zombies are frenzied killing machines, the only way to combat this is to become a bigger frenzied killing machine. Once you become adapt at killing, it should become as easy as rabbit hunting...except the rabbits are relatively slow and don’t run away when they see you. Granted they aren’t running away because they want to eat you, but still. As long as you have enough ammo, take out as many as you possibly can, the less of them there are, the better your chances of survival.
