How to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse: Wednesday Period 1 - Class 1

When the students entered the dangershop today, they would see that it had been turned into a deserted sports arena, complete with a track encircling a football field.

Well it wasn’t completely deserted. First there was the teacher who was standing in front of his students looking somewhat awkward and nervous holding a shotgun. Honestly if a bunny had been transformed into a human being and given a weapon, he’d look a lot like Columbus Ohio.

Also? There was a zombified football team standing behind him. They were all frozen much as if someone had hit a pause button in the middle of a horror movie while they went out o get a bucket of popcorn.

But we’ll get to them later.

“Hi,” Columbus said with a nervous wave. “My name is Columbus Ohio and I’m your teacher.”

There was a slight clearing of his throat. “So if you’re here it means you want to learn something about surviving a zombie apocalypse. Or something about zombies. If you look at the literature involving zombies, they are typically living undead under the control of some sort of magic or source of evil.”

Columbus then gestured at the frozen zombies standing behind him. “However there are variations. For instance these zombies are from my own world and don’t fall into a magic type of category. These people were transformed into zombies from a mutated version of the mad cow virus. Yes, technically they are still alive however one bite from these guys and within hours you’d be one of them. However no matter where you might have these types of monsters, the rules for survival will always apply. This of course brings us to the first rule.”

Columbus fumbled with the dangershop remote for a moment or two until words in giant block letters appeared behind him:



“Cardio. That’s the first rule of surviving Zombieland. When the outbreak first hit, the first to go were the f-”

Columbus coughed for a second there before continuing.

“Were the people who were out of shape. For obvious reasons. Your homework for the rest of this summer session will be to go for a run at least three times a week and keep a log of how far and how long you were able to go. Don’t laugh. It may not be the most manly of skills but it’ll serve you well in the long run. Uh. No pun intended. As for your classroom activity today-”

Columbus punched off the pause button the remote.

“Let’s see how in shape you are.”

[Please note that this is a class about zombies. If you are squeamish or don't like violence this might not be the post to be reading. OCD is up!]

Alex took off at a run, looking for something to use as a weapon. He was Fear son of War. He wasn't going to just run like a wuss, he was going to fight back.

"Thanks!" Alex yelled, and bent down to grab a shovel. Perfect.

((Yes please! I didn't ping below earlier because, well, I was headed to bed.))

The zombies were coming pretty fast and furious. But not in Vin Diesel kind of way.

These zombies had hair.

One of these zombies dressed in full football gear (including a helmet) came running at Alex thinking he might make a good snack.

Was that a short joke?

Alex flipped the shovel around and swung it, blade first, at the zombie's neck. Whether it was sharp enough to cut remained to be seen.

Short jokes? Zombies don't make short jokes. They don't have the braaaaaiiiiiinnnnnns.

However their heads do go flying up into the air if they are hit just right.

Which Alex managed to do just fine!

Success! Alex gave a quick scan of the area for any more zombies he needed to be immediately concerned about, versus zombies he needed to run away from.
