The problem with the zombie apocalypse

The zombies aren’t the scary thing about the zombie apocalypse. I mean, yeah, they’re gonna break your windows and possibly beat down the door. And they definitely want to eat your brains, but that’s it. They don’t want anything else. They don’t even want to survive. I seen zombies step into an oncoming vehicle, through hot walls of fire and fall into really obvious pits because they focus exclusively on one thing – the brains of a living person.

Once you know their motivation, you can board up the windows, reinforce the doors and go about your daily business. Sure, your daily business will be different because… you know… zombies. But as long as you don’t do anything stupid and you are in shape, you can easily out think and outrun them. They’re like animals, really. Driven by instinct, and the instinct is to eat people’s brains.

Shoot, I know a guy who reinforced his fence outside his home and started his own farm. The fence was tall enough that the zombies couldn’t climb it, and the gate had a knob on it rather than a lever. Zombies couldn’t get in. No fine motor skills – they may as well not have opposable thumbs. He was good for a couple of years.
While he was healthy, he was able to keep the zombies thinned out. Unfortunately, he must’ve gotten ill or something because the zombies piled up on the fence and tore it down – it took more of them than I could count. My friend didn’t think they would get through the fence, so he ended up in not a good way as they broke through the windows and tore down his door.

At any rate, like I said, dealing with zombies is as easy as dealing with any predator of the animal kingdom as long as you know what they want. As long as you refuse to see the humanity that used to reside in the body, individually, they just aren’t that scary. No, my friend, it ain’t the zombies you have to worry about in the zombie apocalypse, especially after you get over the whole panic response and the training that you may have received through the media of a bygone era.

In fact, in all of that media representing zombies and the destruction of the planet, you probably missed the most important information. The zombies probably won’t get. Just keep your wits around you, don’t wade into a horde with an axe and you’ll be good. No, it’s not the zombies at all even if they have significantly changed your daily routine.
What you really have to worry about… The worst part of the zombie apocalypse is… And if you think back to everything you seen before the zombie hordes showed up, you know this is true.
