When I started thinking way too much about zombies: I realized that zombie movies were the only horror movies that could frighten me anymore.
What started my zombie fixation: How to Survive a Robot Uprising by Daniel Wilson. Then it led me to the Max Brooks book. I started to contemplate my array of survival skills. I looked around at a bunch of my classmates last year and wondered, "What useful skills do these people truly have? If anything catastrophically bad happened, what would they bring to the table?"
