RamblingSimon Rants About: Z-Day

This is a very important rant. I've noticed that many people are living with out worry, too lax for their own good. They don't realize that this lifestyle could one day get them killed. To not be prepared for the future danger could be a fatal mistake.

I'm obviously referring to Z-Day, the morning where the dead rise to feast upon the flesh of the living.

It is absolutely vital that people have a Zombie Plan. People scoff at the idea of its necessity, but it's foolish to go about your daily life and not be on your guard, ready to spring into action at a moments notice when zombies come walking down the street....or would they walk? You also have to factor in the many different theories from the different sources. Some films portray zombies as slow due to rigor mortis, while others express their motion as human-like. As far as intelligence, it is mainly speculated that the brain functions on the focus of basic instinct of survival, although some believe that the zombies resemble toddlers in the way that they actually learn in a 'trial and error' fashion.

Don't forget about how the epidemic is spreading! This is ignored sometimes...a deadly error. For saftey reasons, don't drink the water! It could be contaminated with a virus. People think that it spreads purely by scratches and bites from the zombies. Always stay on top of the situation!

I'll admit, my zombie plan isn't fool-proof. It has its flaws, but there are factors to keep in consideration when constructing a Zombie Plan: Group Size, Location, Supplies, Communication, Entrances/Exits/Windows, Weaponry, Barriers, and Food.

In my Zombie Plan, I'd be apart of a group of 4: someone who is knowledgible in the subject (preferably TJ), someone who is able to provide basic first aid (preferably Nikki), and someone who is able to use a weapon accurately and is strong (preferably Donkey). In my opinion, one of the best housing areas would be our very own auditorium. If you think about it, the booth alone provides essential protection and provides supplies, communication (The 4th floor is a great place to signal evac squads), and barriers (those old choir risers would be excellent for barricading the doors!). Weaponry becomes a small issue for long-range defense, but the endless amount of blunt objects is nice for melee attacks. The biggest flaw is food. Even in the best case, the halls of the school would have zombies lurking about. If no food is brought up, a team of two would have to be sent out to grab munchies from the vending machines. Dangerous, but no plan is perfect.

I have a job for my readers: establish a Zombie Plan. I want the most survivors possible when the outbreak hits.
