I woke up this morning, got dressed, ate breakfast, and went out to my bus stop. Something was different about this morning; it was foggy, very foggy, which is weird for a spring day in Leola, Maine. It’s about 7:10 in the morning and my bus is starting to pull up. I look inside, I see a man driving. It’s not my bus driver, my bus driver is a girl. Something isn’t right. I don’t know who this man is. The door opens…
“Interesting weather isn’t it?” The man asked.
“Yes it-” I began to say but was cut off by the man telling me to hurry and get on.
On our way to school we picked up Haylee, Jade, Alee, Zach, William and Jayden. After we picked up Jayden something seemed different. There were people, lots of people, everywhere. They seemed different, they were slower, like zombies. Then we heard moaning, like someone was hurt. I soon realized that they were not people they were certainly zombies.
“GO! DRIVE! ZOMBIES!” Alee yelled to the driver. He listened and started to drive. We soon passed Justyce’s house. “STOP!” I yelled, “I need to get a friend.” I ran out of the bus and to her front door. I stood pounding on the door for several seconds waiting for her to answer. She never did. I opened the door slowly and carefully. “Justyce?” I whispered, “Are you in here?” About as soon as I said that a zombie tried to attack me. It was Justyce, a zombified Justyce. I slammed the door and ran as fast as I could back to the bus. I got on and yelled, “GO! GO! GO!” The bus started to move as I sat in my seat. We got about two blocks, trying to find a safe place to stop, when the bus died. The engine stopped working and smoke started coming out the front of the bus. All us girls start freaking out while the boys stood there acting tough, bu...

...d kill me like we did he others when they were bitten, but he didn’t. He let one of the zombies that he hadn’t killed bite him. “Why did you do that? You’re going to die now.” I said concerned.
“I don’t care if I die. At least I’ll be with you.” He replied confidently.
By this time I feel myself getting weaker. Knowing I only have a few minutes left to be alive, I grabbed Zach’s wrist and started running towards town.
25 minutes later Zach and I are completely zombified and walking through town. Suddenly two people come out from behind a sign and shoot us both in the head. Just then I wake up in a cold sweat, sit up, and turn to look at the clock. “Its 2:07am, I should probably try to sleep again.” I whispered to my kitten. As I lay back down I begin to hesitate, fearing I’ll dream that again. “I’ll try anyway.” I whispered again, and eventually fell back to sleep.

  • My Zombie Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead Analysis

    919 Words  | 2 Pages

    Have you ever experienced that feeling when your heart beat goes into hyper drive, your palms start to perspire, and your muscles tense up? Fear is an emotion that everyone has succumbed to at least once in their lifetime. Our fears are like our shadows, for they follow us around to wherever we may go. They are lingering in the back of our minds from the moment we wake up in the morning until our heads hit the pillow at night. Fears are so powerful, however, that they can even crawl into our dreams and manifest into other beings. We, as humans, like to put names or concepts to either faces or objects; we like to possess the ability to visualize what something or someone looks like. As a result, our fears are personified into monsters. Prolific essayist, Chuck Klosterman, points out how “Frankenstein’s monster illustrated our trepidation about untethered science” and “Godzilla was spawned from the fear of the atomic age.” In Klosterman’s article, “My Zombie, Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead,” he tackles the

  • Possibility of Zombie Apocalypse

    1080 Words  | 3 Pages

    A zombie apocalypse is absolutely a possibility. When take a closer look there are many possibilities to which an apocalypse could happen. All though it may not be as Hollywood or video games have led us all to believe. The whole lumbering, brain-dead corpse thing has become a little overrated now-a-days, at least for me anyway. Today when we think about a zombie apocalypse we think of popular video games or movies released by some truly sick and demented people, who by the way probably have way too much time on their hands. There are many possibilities to where a human can be turned into a “zombie”. Disease, disease has been with humans as long as humans have lived in this Earth. When we look all throughout history we can see the evolution of disease. In England during the Middle Ages the Bubonic Plague is a perfect example. It hit the British pretty hard, took them absolutely by surprise. They had never seen anything like that in the past, there was never any way to treat the disease, you just avoided it, and as soon as you were infected, as far as the rest of the world was concerned, you were already dead. Egypt, another good example, there has been recently discovered hieroglyphs revealing a depiction of what appeared to be a horde of zombies. The scribes wrote it describing them as possessed and ferocious. Some people say zombies, while others say the product of an overactive imagination. Let’s take a look at today’s possible “zombie” diseases.

Me and my sister, Amanda, jumped up out of our bunk beds and followed after Kathryn. “Why are you here?” Said Kathryn. It was six o’clock in the morning and a policeman was standing in our living room. Well, I guess that’s one way to start a morning.

    Concepts are how we give meaning to everyday things. We make, name, communicate, and imagine concepts all day everyday; concepts are vital to understanding this world we live in. A concept is an abstract idea or a cognitive unit of meaning. Zombies, for example, are a concept, but where did this concept of the living dead arise? Is there some religious link to this concept or is it an image of imagination?

    It had been wet and cloudy since that morning--a typical Oregon day--and as I made my way to the back of the bus, the faint smell of rain mingled with the rubbery-plastic smell of hundreds of little rain boots. When I finally got to my seat, I was rather unnerved to find that not only was someone sitting in my seat, but that that someone was none other than Nathaniel Larson, the most obnoxious kid in the 5th grade. I took a deep breath and said, in the kindest voice I could muster, "Nathan, you...

    The bus is short and only has seating for eighteen passengers. It is white on top, black on the bottom with a12 inch wide green stripe along the side of the bus and the letters K A T S, boldly displayed on the green stripe. There are 3 steep stairs to climb, to get on the bus. The day I rode it was raining and cold. The windshield wipers ticked back and forth, clearing the wind- shield of rain. There were three passengers, all of them where white; two men, one woman. The older gentleman was casually dressed. I think he was in his 60’s (I’m guessing, because he was gray headed). He sat in the third seat on the drivers’ side of the bus. Right across the aisle from him was a man, in his mid- 30’s, dressed in an olive green army surplus jacket. The woman on the bus was sitting in the front seat, behind the driver. She was wearing a pink wind breaker and was carrying a matching pink umbrella. She was approximately 50 yrs old and very thin. Wrinkles marked the corner of her eyes .I think she had a brain injury of some kind. Her eyes didn’t seem to focus on anything and she had applied her lipstick in such a way that it had smeared to one side of her mouth.

    In recent years, there have been a plethora of film releases that pertain to the central topic of zombies. Typically “zombies thrive in popular culture during times of recession, epidemic and general unhappiness” (Drezner). Zombie films began around the 1920’s, and continue to fill modern day theatres. These films, although dramatized for entertainment, are something that truly could, and have, occurred. These films have been modernized, in order to fit the desires and demands of a modern-day audience, and therefore are tremendously different from their original zombie-film counterparts.

    Frost, the only thing I saw out my bedroom window, kept me focused on my homework. Temperatures dropping so rapidly, it dropped twenty- five degrees in an hour. The temperatures, frigid, plumbing to negative fifteen by the time it was over. Sunday nights are for the procrastinators to do their homework, surprisingly, one is me. Suddenly cellphone vibrations filled the room, it was from one of my classmates. The picture message downloaded for a few minutes, and it stated, “If you think this girl is a w****, s***, and a b**** forward this on.” I sat there in a moment of silence, mice scurrying up and down the walls. Being a junior high student, I really didn’t put much though into it. You don’t think for your future you think for the time now. The message referred to one of my ex girlfriends, so that made me forward it on with out any thought. Making that decision shocked me for what awaited me at school the next day.
