May 2012 Blog Chain - Zombie Apocalypse

Hey Everyone!

Every month I participate in a blog chain that revolves around a selected theme. This blog chain comes from the Absolute Write’s Water Cooler Forum (which is a great community and I would suggest it to any writer.) Many other writers submit their own posts focusing on this theme, as well.  You will find a list of participants under my entry. I read these posts every month and can confidently say that if you check out some of the listed blogs you will be pleasantly surprised.

This month’s theme is Zombie Apocalypse. I’ll tell you now: I had some fun with this one and went a bit zany. Hope you enjoy it—!

Brainless

Let me get straight to the point: I kind of, maybe—errr—sort of started a zombie apocalypse. I didn’t mean to! These things just, well, happen sometimes, you know?

     

So like, now I’m stuck in the middle school with about forty people who are all ready to feed me to the zombies. They told me if I don’t find a cure for this whole zombification thing they’re going to chuck me out the door and let the undead creepsters have at me.

 

So not cool.

 

We’re in the Environmental Science room now. I’m trying to find a beaker or a displacement vessel or something, but I can’t concentrate while the zombies are outside shouting “Brains!” and the townspeople are inside shouting “Brainless!” Man, they really need chill out. It’s not like we’re in the middle of a zombie apocalypse or something.

 
Oh, wait.

Anyways!

 

The only things I can find in this room that might be of any use are rocks. Who names a class about rocks “Environmental Science?” They should have just called it “Rocks!”

 

The good thing about the little stones is that they give me a super boss idea.

 
“We can just throw rocks at them!”
 

The answer didn’t get the response I was hoping for.

 

The townspeople are getting mad now because the boards on the windows are failing. Some dude cries about his wife getting eaten and another guy is all about busting out his rifle. He doesn’t want to shoot the zombies, though. He wants to shoot me.

 

I search faster. There are some textbooks, a broom and a soil sample. I break the tube containing the soil open and search for clues. Damn. Nothing. Picking up the broom, I sweep up the soil sample and use the book as a dustpan.

 

That’s when the mayor gets all pissy and picks a fight. Doesn’t he know I watch UFC regularly and therefor am a certified ultimate fighter? This dude better back off.

 

I’m about to show him my Brazilian ju-jitsu moves when a scream erupts from the back. People run toward us. They knock each other over as they try to squeeze through the door all at once. Hasn’t anyone ever heard of single file?

 

How rude.

 I look behind them, searching for why they just got all crazy. Oh, good. The zombies just broke through the boarded up windows. They’re eating some of the townspeople. Nice. Won’t be long until we’re all zombies. Then I won’t have to search for this damned cure anymore!
