Halloween and Zombies…

While I would like to continue the story that I started the other day. I find that with Halloween upon us that I need to mention a little issue with Zombies and Halloween…

Halloween is a wonderful time for the Zombies and by their leader Zombie they all understand that Halloween is the perfect time to get lots of treats, in the form of a delicious walking Popsicle, called humans…

It is during Halloween that a Zombie can travel freely and go to parties and such. The one day a year that all forms of Zombies can traipse around the town and not be noticed. A little known fact is that Halloween is the day that more people go missing than any other day. But no one will talk about it because Halloween is big business. So what is the big deal with a few thousand missing kids? We can’t allow that to hurt Halloween business! Now can we?

So just take this as a precautionary statement. Keep an eye on your kids and really do carry a baseball bat for protection and anyone that is dressed like a Zombie! Steer clear of that person. Please remember that you have to hit them in the head and hit them really hard. Example of when you are done killing a Zombie is when the head is detached from the body. Yes a machete would be better than a bat, but the local law enforcement has issues with someone carrying a machete around…

Remember it only takes one bite or scratch and you will spend the rest of your time on earth as a Zombie…

The Zombie Source Code…

PS: I stay home on Halloween because I prefer to stay a human. Once the Zombies start to eat and the air gets saturated with the smell of blood. Then it can get out of control real quick. The amount of Zombies has doubled since last year and that is spelling trouble. Also stay tuned because I have to tell about the leader Zombie that I had to terminate the other day… 🙂

Types of Zombies…

Yesterday I was out walking the neighborhood. I spotted a zombie and that made me realize that the next diary entry should be about the 4 different types of Zombies. Zombies are as varied as there is variation in live humans but there is 4 distinct types or levels of Zombies. The variation comes from how and when they (people) were infected with what ever causes them to to become a Zombie…

So lets cut to the chase: This is by no means the complete list of known Zombies, everyday the list grows longer and as you progress into the book you will come to understand that no limits are imposed upon a Zombie. He can become anything and as powerful as your imagination can make him. The issue arrives when we as humans are not able to imagine the extent that Zombies can progress beyond…

1. First Zombie Type and one of the most common type. The dead rising from the graves. This Zombie is usually slow and decayed to the point of collapse. But these are the most famous and the ones that scare people to death when they see them…

2. Second type of Zombie and very common also, as common as the rising dead in grave yards. The Zombie created from a bite or scratch of another Zombie. These Zombies can either be in very good shape or very bad. That is according to the damage done when attacked by a Zombie. A scratch that breaks the skin is enough but in the same token a half eaten body will come back from the dead also. This type of Zombie is much faster than number one and usually much smarter. In fact usage of tools and guns is possible by this group of Zombies. They have very little speech ability but they can answer yes and no questions very easily. This type of Zombie is the Zombie stories mainstay, because they reanimate almost as quick as a killing bite to the neck. These Zombies are considered still able to have some human thoughts and emotions. Just that they have no ability to organize…

3. Third type of Zombie is pretty rare. They are infected by the original source of the infection. Usually they stay out of the way once they have infected 20 to 30 people and they then wonder on to other towns to spread their infection. They are the Source Code Zombie! They are not powerful and smart by any means. Usually their brains are fried by the infection and are strictly driven by a hunger need. Human Flesh sustains them and that is all they care about. They have no desire to stay with other Zombies for some reason…

4. The forth type of Zombie is the ones infected by the Source Code Zombie. Usually 20 to 30 per town or city. These Zombies are smart, strong and fast. They are the leaders. It seems that the infection through a Source Code Zombie is the best way to become a Zombie. They will live forever, as long as damage to the brain is not incurred. They have mental command over the other types of Zombies. Well – all except the Source Code Zombies and those (SC) ignore everything around them except to eat. Number 4 Zombie can live amongst real people and 99% of you will never ever know they are there. They are in schools, businesses and even the Military. In fact we have had a Zombie leader for a president in the past…

Now lets back up to yesterday and talk about the Zombie that I saw. I was walking the dog and being a good dog he knows when Zombies are around. I am almost as fast as he is at sensing that they are around and Dogg (His name is Dogg!) and I saw this Zombie rummaging through the trash dumpster across the street…

I told you in an earlier post that once you see one you will see them easily from then on. This is a true statement and I can not really explain it but I know a Zombie when I see one…

We walked across the street and wanted to get a good look at the Zombie. I try to keep track of the Zombies in my neighborhood. I try to see if the population of Zombies is growing or not. I poked it with my cane that I walk with at all times. I use it as a weapon if need be. As I suspected when he turned around and stared at me, this was a new Zombie on the block and it was a number 2 Zombie from the list above. It had a deep cut down the side of his face and you could tell it was never going to heal…

He looked at me and you could see a fear come into his eyes. He saw that we recognized him as a Zombie. I told him to move out of my neighborhood and do not come back. I also asked him, was his leader near by. He kinda yes/no shook his head and I realized that he was afraid. If he is caught breaking the Zombie rules by his own type then he will be torn apart by the group. They have been known to rip the head off traitors and kick the head around like a soccer ball for hours. The head is still alive of course because the brain is all that is alive in the first place. It is a terrible way to go and I have seen them do it several times to traitor Zombies. I let him go knowing that the leader was near by just from his reaction…

A leader Zombie is not a good thing and it could only mean one thing. That our town is becoming over run with Zombies…

So in the next few days I and Dogg need to try to find the Leader Zombie. I have suspicions as to what they are up to. I have been hearing rumors of many many new leader Zombies than in the past. I am also seeing many many many more number 2 Zombies. In fact they are invading my dreams at night because they seem to be everywhere right now…

That is it for today. Dogg and I are going to be on the look out for a leader Zombie. maybe we will need to kill it…

PS: Few things for information. One, a Source Code Zombie just has to walk through a cemetery to activate all dead in that cemetery. Two, even though the Source Code Zombie is the most pathetic Zombie of them all. He or she is the most dangerous. A source code Zombie is the hardest to kill. Even after death of the brain the blood is viable for transferring the infection for hundreds of years later. It is said that one drop of a Source Code Zombie blood is capable of turning and infecting a 100,000 humans. The third thing is that there is rumors of a 5th type of Zombie? It is also being said that birds seem to be able to carry the infection to humans now…

When I met my first Zombie(s)…

Hello, my name is Stryker and welcome to the Zombie Source Code…

I am not sure why I started this diary except to get the message out about Zombies. So since there is no true rhyme or reason to the pattern of the diary yet. We will start with, “When I met my first Zombie(s)…”

I met my first Zombie at a cemetery. I was visiting an old friend who had died in the war with me. In fact his body, which was in the way of the shrapnel, was what saved my life. So I felt that I owed him a visit on a regular basis after my tour of duty was over. It was during one of these visits that I met my first Zombie…

I can honestly tell you that I do not get scared easy so I do not panic and that is why I am still alive after all the fighting that I have seen and been through. I also have an inner sense that protects me in moments of trouble. It is those things about me that saved me once again. I just turned my head just out of the way of a swiping claw, that I felt coming my way and stepped quickly back to watch a very disgusting looking humanoid creature stumble and fall at my feet. It fell right on top my friends grave. Instinct took over and I looked around to see if anything else was about. Yes – There was! About 100 meters away near a clump of trees in the distance, was another lurking figure. I kept that knowledge in my memory for future reference and turned my attention back to the wiggling mass of crud at my feet…

I realized it was trying to get up and that it was a decayed body. I have seen plenty of decayed bodies but none of them ever tried to get up from the ground…

I put my boot on the back of its neck and shoved it back to the ground face down. I then took stock of the “other thing” in the trees and realized that it was starting to slowly coming toward me. Very quiet and like a slow turtle it shuffled my way. I stomped all 300 lbs down on the neck of the creature that I was standing on. The neck cracked like a dry twig and the head separated from the body. But the spinal cord was still attached and the thing was not dead just incapacitated. I turned toward the slowly moving humanoid figure that was sighted on me and scanned the territory around me looking for a weapon. I saw a broken shovel handle near a newly dug grave. I walked over and saw that down in the newly dug hole that it looked like someone had come out from the grave next to it. I looked at the head stone and it said Gertrude born 1910, died 2001. I said out loud, “Gertrude” and the thing on the ground exploded with activity whipping its head back and forth. It tried to get up again but the head ripped off completely and that ended its existence. Well I guess that was Gertrude…

Then I realized that even though the other one was very slow, it had reached me and I could hear a hissing noise as it tried to pump air in and out of its dried lungs…

I looked at it closely and  realized that it was literally harmless. It had no lower jaw, one arm was missing, a leg was dragging behind it and it only had one eye. I smacked it with the shovel handle and it fell into the open grave. It wiggled on the bottom as I decided what to do. I looked at the head stone that was already in place at the head of the grave. It said, Robert Wilkes. I said softly, “Sorry Robert” and walked behind the standing head stone and pushed it into the open grave. With a satisfying splat and crack. The thing at the bottom of the hole was suddenly very still…

I looked around for anyone else and contemplated about what happened, while I studied my surroundings for more issues. Having found nothing to get excited about, I sat on a big head stone and did some thinking’s. I just wished I had a cup of coffee, because I do my best thinking’s with coffee.  It was at that moment that I realized that I had just killed two Zombies…

I then realized that this looked like I was trying to steal bodies and decided to get out of there and go home. No one would believe me and truthfully I did not believe myself either. So I took the handle of the shovel and walked back to my car. I decided to stop at the local coffee shop and get a coffee. It seems that I needed a coffee right now… 🙂

This was many many years ago and it was the first time that I had seen something like that. It was not the last time, because once you have seen one (Zombie) it will seem like the saying, “When it rains it pours!” becomes a fact. Then Zombies seem to be everywhere. I never heard a word about this incident in the news and you will come to realize that you will never hear about these incidences. I have also decided that most humans ignore so much around them that they never stop to notice that Zombies are all around them, all the time. If a Zombie was fast and intelligent then we would be in trouble. Also if wild animals did not like hunt them and pick their bones clean, then we would have many many more around…

These are all issues that are changing and will be addressed as I continue my writings…
