If Zombies Were Real

[The Sum of Awe]

Let's say you're just sitting on your computer on RF, playing some music, and have a news site open.

BREAKING NEWS!!

The recent dead are coming back to life. This is the dawn of the Green Plague! Lock your doors and barricade your windows, they are scouting every city and every town.

BAM Too late for barricading your windows, one has broke into your house. But then you realize, there's more than one moan - there's more than one zombie.

What actions do you take and if you leave, what do you expect to see outside?

 

[Kilgore Trout]

I'd shoot myself to avoid being sucked into the terminally-cliched and beaten-to-death world of the zombie apocalypse

 

[kashmir]

Prob exactly like those in Walking Dead are doing, try to stay alive, except:

Build up an area to keep them out as well as keep out the bad guys.

 

[Jainarayan]

I'd try to get Will Smith's number. He knew just what to do in I Am Legend.

Wait, wut!!?? :areyoucra

 

[Willamena]

First, I'd be distressed at the damage to my very beautiful home. Then I'd run. The zombies either catch me or they don't (excuse the fatalism).

 

[4consideration]

I would thank my lucky stars that my son stayed home sick today, since he's the only one in the family with experience battling zombies.

I'd grab a game controller, and let him call the shots. (I'd just be there for backup.)

 

[Amechania]

Zombies, vampires, werewolves, oh my! And ho-hum. They're even dragging poor Godzilla out for one more city stomping. Where is the imagination that produced Freddy Kruger?

Let's say you're just sitting on your computer on RF, playing some music, and have a news site open.

BREAKING NEWS!!

The recent dead are coming back to life.

I'd go back to checking RF and listening to music.

If any zombies get into my house and further bust into my room, forcing me to get off my computer, then it's just bad news for them.

If it's not clear, in my zombie apocalypse zombies have to run and hide from me, not the other way around. They're slow, dumb, weak, and smell bad.

I'm fast, young, tough, and smart. They have no chance.

 

[Runewolf1973]

Well I got about a half a dozen different medieval swords hanging on my living room wall. I'd say I'd probably have some fun!

 

[DreadFish]

Besides the looming, terrible possibility of my loved ones being brutally killed and everything I love being destroyed, for a short time, I would revel in the opportunity to kill me some zombehs. Then the reality would probably set it and I would begrudgingly prepare to get to a safe place and prepare for the long tribulations ahead...

 

[Gehennaite]

If a zombie apocalypse actually did occur all throughout the nation, our entire infrastructure would crumble. There would no longer be people working in their various environments that provide food, electricity, or water to the common man. Civilization would be over.

I have no weapons, so I'd be completely screwed defending myself. I'd try my best to stave off any zombies with a beat down and a knife. I'd barricade myself in my house and die a slow, apathetic death to malnourishment.

Thankfully, this will never actually happen.

 

[Smart_Guy]

Well, it depends... if they are zombies like those in 28 Days/Weeks Later, then...

:run:

 

[Glaurung]

If I am dealing with slow lumbering zombies then the fact that I'm upstairs will hopefully give me some time to make an escape out the window. Zombies will be easier to outmanoeuvre out in the open than in a confined space of a house.

Then I'll just wait for the walking corpses to start exploding as the gasses start building up in them. There was an article I read somewhere on why zombies just couldn't work. (I think it was on Cracked)

Yes, this is very important. Actual, walking corpses are not that much of a threat, there are so many things that would **** them that the majority of us (the smart ones) would do just fine and survive.

If they are the viral, aggressive "zombies" then we might be pretty ******. There are enough people who have no idea how to fend off an attacker of any kind that they would quickly become victim to the few starting zombies and their numbers would rapidly rise until numbers outgrow what the capable individuals can deal with easily. But even those can't just survive indefinitely without a meal. They would eventually die off without eating enough people/ being exposed to the elements and what that does to a body. Most animals wouldn't be good prey for them because, what human, no matter how aggressive, can just catch a wild animal and kill it?
