deaconkharma:

Thanks for that link. Added it to my already incredibly childish Christmas list.

Quote from my wife, "you are almost 39 years old!"

However, I am going to hold you personally responsible for my poor work performance and ruined marriage once I get this game.
 
Man, is this going to be finished? I never looked at it before, just saw "zombie" and cruised on by, but then got curious . . . and wound up reading all of it, in just two sittings. Well done (so far)!

And wouldn't you know -- just a little earlier, I had put a new entry on our Netflix list -- "The Lazarus Project" -- any relation?
 
I just got The Zombie Survival Guide By Max Brooks. This seemed like the right thread to say this. Also bump and MORE!!
 
I hate to mention this but I'm reading an article in the new Wired Magazine called "Giving the Grunts an Upgrade" which is about the work going on at DARPA: the Defense Advanced Research Agency". One of the things highlighted is research into "de-animating" wounded soliders to give them a better chance of surviving massive trauma by extending the "golden hour".

Sounds like Re-animator and Universal Soldier, no? Don't be surprised if there's something like this already done. Tissue reanimation and artificial resuscitation of dead tissue have always been top priority for emergency/trauma medical research.

As for all things Zombie, I was hooked the first time I watched a George Romero flick and the 1991 remake of the Night of the Living Dead.

I bought the Zombie Survival Guide and finished it in 1 day. Awesome, simply awesome.
 
I just finally got through reading the whole thing. I have to say, Mordech, you're quite the writer. I'm highly impressed. This is one of the few stories I've read recently that really kept my attention. Thank you, and I hope you continue it.
 
Please say threre is more. I pasted it all so far into Word and saved it. I plan to print it to read in bed but I hate to start reading it to find out there is no ending.
 
I don't care who writes the ending as long as someone does(though I'd rather the original author finnish it), because the suspense is killing me.
 
Okay...

Chapter 24 (or whatever, I lost count)

Salvation

As the zombie crisis grew and all hope seemed lost, gun owners across the land decided to rise up and take back their beloved country.

75 million freedom loving American gun owners took out their 200 million privately owned and legal guns and blasted every zombie they saw, sending the unholy horde back to hell, or as it is more commonly known, Washington D.C.

The sheeple that were left over, along with the whimpering anti-gun, birkenstock wearing hippie crowd, were left to fend for themselves in the countryside, eating tofu, drinking wheatgrass juice, and using windmills to power their hovel, which meant they were in the dark quite often.

The gun owners built themselves a new country full of freedom and promises and governed themselves with minimal official government, the way the Founding Fathers intended, and it was good.

As the sun set across the new, free America, a decrepit and rotting shape shambles out of the remnants of Air Force One... what once was Claire Damon takes a look around... lets out a groan... and promptly gets the other half of her head blown off by a band of free citizens.

The End.
