Zombie Apocalypse!


Something strange happened this morning. I woke up after a dream in such a way that I remember a good portion of the dream right away. There were these zombies creatures that chased and fed more like a vampire. These things were a bit different than either of those because for one thing, they had a clear consciousness. The second thing was that unlike vampires (more like zombies), they fed on the person’s body rather than just their blood. The third thing was that they were more like a human sized alien that liked to crawl their way along after a prey like a werewolf and they also glowed blue.

I for some strange reason went from a passive observer viewing the whole scene of them chasing down their prey to being chased myself. I witnessed many poor folk get run down and eaten because they did not run with enough effort and like most horror film victims, they were dumb enough to stop and look over their shoulder for a moment. LOL, dumb-asses. Anyway, I ended up running ahead of one that I achieved enough of a lead-time to climb a tree. I realized early on that these creatures… whatever they were could not climb which saved my life. I was able to stay aloft from tree to tree getting higher and higher until they forgot about me. Some real vampires had caught wind of what was happening and realized that these things were giving them a bad name. So the vampires stepped in and mopped up. When there was only one more left, I was able to snap off a significant sized branch, lower myself behind that last one by surprise and I smacked it right on the temple with the branch killing it instantly. A vampire saw this and was so impressed that they congratulated me and let me go in peace.

Now why am I telling you this story? After I woke from this strange dream our alarm clock went off. I snuggled with my wife for a few minutes. (Here is the kicker) She told me that she had a ZA… or for you un-geeky folks Zombie Apocalypse dream. She said in her dream that despite my efforts, I fell victim to the hungry curse and was eaten while she survived. Can you imagine that!?! I think that I would more than dominate in a ZA due to my comprehensive knowledge of zombies and my hours of tactical training and weapons handling in various shooting video games. I am a lot higher level in life than most with the XP that I have accumulated in a variety of life experiences. Well, it does appear that our dreams had two VERY different writers.
