George R. R. Martin’s short story about zombies does not focus on the zombie apocalypse as so many stories and movies do in today’s popular zombie culture. In what can only be assumed to be a far distant future, Martin’s zombies are surgically altered humans whose brains have been replaced by a synthetic alternative. This turns these formerly alive humans into form of cheap, or slave, labor that is exploited on planets where most humans are either unwilling, or unable to work (Martin, 2008). Martin’s zombies in this story harken back to the origins of the modern zombie mythos. Those being derived from the African slaves who toiled on the sugar plantations of Hatti (Estes, 2012). I do not think it is any coincidence that Martin’s zombies are…

The topic that I would like to address for my zombie project is a more efficient mode of transportation in order to survive a zombie apocalypse. In The Zombie Survival Guide, Max Brooks he explains different means of transportation but limits them to water or air travel. In an apocalypse, healthy surviving humans should not be restricted to their means of travel. In order to stay alive, an adequate form of transportation is a necessity. Walking is too dangerous and slow, while a standard car purposes many different problems. A solar powered or a hydrogen fuel cell car are optimum modes of transportation during a zombie apocalypse.…
A search of Derrick Robinson’s cell phone was done and at 4:46 a.m. an incoming call was received from (910) 644-7834. The phone number was checked through several Police data bases with negative results. I then searched the phone number through Facebook and learned it was assigned to a J-Rock Ru. I then attempted to see if this was the same J-Rock that went to Emily Hamlin residence on the night of the Homicide.…
2 with the slime and we already lost half of it. Andy and I were playing catch and we dropped a piece of it. Trigger, my dog ate it. I can believe him. He knew better. After, we went inside. The sun was going down, therefore Andy went home. I went to bed early because this house seemed even more eerie tonight. I put the monster blood in a empty coffee can, and Day went to sleep. I woke up the next morning and to my surprise the monster blood was oozing out of the can that I put it in the night before. That night I went down to the basement to store the monster blood and as soon as I set it in a rustic old tub it grew out of control. I leaned down to touch it and it started to pull me in. After a struggle I managed to pull myself free. I was…
Last week I spent time packing up boxes and moving things around the house. In the process, I started pulling things out of places where I had stashed them for safe keeping, forgetting that I even had these treasured items. While I was in this Spring cleaning frenzy, I opened a closet, no different from an attic or shed, and found an old forgotten box. When I finally managed to open it, a little disaster punched me right in my face, figuratively of course, but it got me thinking.…
The zombie apocalypse outbreak is said to be coming and it will be the worst one yet. Scientist believe that the zombies will consist of special infected zombies. A rumor spread around with the name of some of the special infected zombies. Some the names that were found consisted of, The Boomer, The Smoker, The Hunter, and The Spitter. All of these zombies are very dangerous and you should avoid them at all times. No one knows when the zombies will come or how they will come but it is said this will be the worst apocalypse of all. To survive the zombie apocalypse you will need items should weapons, food, and fresh water. You will need weapons to defend yourself from the horrifying zombies, deranged humans, and to catch yourself delicious food.

Today is one of those rare days in which it is raining and I’m sitting on the windowsill waiting for a sign. Something that says ‘move on’. There is still a part of me that hopes every day that you're alive and I haven't found you yet. I will have searched the far corners of the earth before I let myself believe you dead. I dream of you every night, then wake with the bitter taste of regret fresh in my mouth. You abandoned me. You have marooned me on this earth, and it is dark without your light by my side. All that fills my mind is when you were still beside me. I distinctly recall one summer when we were not quite children anymore and still too young to be adults. It was raining so hard that the streets were flooded for the first time in eighty years, and you had insisted on escaping to the desert.…

I used to live my life in fear. With every step I took, I felt like I was disappointing someone, somewhere, whether it be my family or some stranger I saw walking down the halls. My existence was one big failure, and I never really understood why I expected so much of myself.…
The thirteenth emoji going left to right, that has heart eyes and has its lips perked out is relateable to a part of the book where Jerome and Rory are kissing intensively. On page 200 it states "I started pressing my lips into his cheek - just a hint of a kiss,.....I felt his shoulders release, and he made a little noise that was partly a groan, partly a sigh. He kissed my neck up, up, up to my ear......My body flushed itself with all the good chemicals that it takes to reserve for making out. On page 201 it states " He told me scary Jack the Ripper facts, and I had the sudden need to make out with him until I ran out of breath. I would have continued indefinitely if........."…
It’s been a couple of days since Freak was attended to the hospital. I kept trying to get in and see him, but the doctors say that he needs to be alone to get his rest. I overheard the doctors talking about his health, and they say he doesn't have long to live. They say he has maybe a week at most, and I couldn't have felt worst about it.…
“ Oh Emma I heard you’ve been looking for job how about considering taking care of our beloved Daughter Cindy.” Mrs. Dixon uttered. “ That would be great Mrs. Dixon I’ll start tomorrow.” “I said in a thrilling voice.” Few have now by this is now my fifth week of babysitting Cindy and so far i love it .Cindy is such a smart, kindhearted, innocent little girl even though she can be very skeptical and uncanny sometimes. The other day as I was picking Cindy up from her ballet class she was talking about how she can’t wait to go home so she can finish burning her barbie dolls so she can use them for something, not really explaining what she was going to use them for.…
