Within the first Things I Fear book (which you can purchase here but can also purchase here), there is a reference to writing a full post about having a Fear of Zombies. Things truly come full circle now! You are reading said referenced content by way of a reference to how you can go and read that reference if you haven’t read said reference to this point. If that last sentence wasn’t enough reason to bash your head in with a shovel, then you’re in luck because that sort of thing could kill you. If you were a zombie. Or probably would still kill you as a human. Let’s just all put down our shovels and read this post, okay?
Why Do People Fear Zombies?
Depicted as dim-witted, slow-moving, former-living humans in such pop-culture capacities such as the TV Show ‘The Walking Dead’ or the video game “Plants Vs. Zombies’, Zombies are actually quite intelligent and capable of both speed and power when necessary. Watch the movie ’28 Days Later’ and talk to me about slow-moving zombies. That would have been a great internal link to a Movie Review but unfortunately, I only watch bad movies. It’s a gift. And a curse.
Zombies are forever on a quest for eating things like human organs or human flesh while occasionally say things like ‘braaaaaiiiiins’ or ‘mrrraaaaahhhh’ which shows how they are both dedicated to their craft and would make excellent opera singers given their ability for long sustained notes. Society, however, would rather flee from these horrific monsters than hear their songs which sort of makes sense given the whole brain-eating thing. The word Zombie comes from the Latin ‘Eatus Fleshus’ which means ‘creepy undead creature that eats people’. However, a quick Google search tells me I am completely wrong and instead ‘Zombie’ comes from a Kongo term that means ‘spirit of a dead person’ which makes more sense. You really should believe everything you read online.
How To Escape Your Fear of Zombies
Are you worried that you might have a Fear of Zombies and have nowhere to run or hide? Since most Zombie movies have the heroes surviving while the zombie population is eradicated, I’m sure you’ll be okay. There’s a great TV show where the zombies actually turn out to be people living in your own house! If a zombie does get its hands on you, you can pretty much say bye to your spleen. Remember: If you find yourself face-to-face with a horde of zombified creatures with black goo dripping from their jaws and blood smeared across their rotting flesh, lunging towards you and you notice one of them is inexplicably missing half a foot, you can always bash their heads in with that shovel we talked about in the opening paragraph. See? Aren’t you glad you held on to that?
