We'd all heard the zombie stories, seem the films and even dressed like them.
It still didn't prepare us for the reality of it.
They are nothing like the movies, they aren't mindless and hunger driven stumblers.
They think and feel and it spread too fast to contain.
I honestly wouldn't mind if they were shambling and brain dead!
In fact it would be far easier than our current situation.
They remember somehow and they know our weaknesses.
Can you imagine your loved ones half torn to shreds and asking you to come home?
Their faces so sad, rotting, pieces falling to the floor as they use childhood nicknames.
You get tempted, you're torn between being with your family and being "safe".
Remember - you're only alive because their fingers are too stiff to use keys.
The second you let your guard down, you open the door they strike.
They don't have mercy, they aren't who you thought they were.
This much the movies got right - they want you dead, the virus wants to spread.
Its just far smarter than we'd anticipated.
My son's been at the window for weeks now and I can't let him in.
