“Unlike its human counterparts, an army of zombies is completely independent of support. It will not require food,ammunition, or medical attention. It will not succumb to panic, desertion, or out-and-out mutiny. Like the virus that gave it life, this undead force will continue to grow, spreading across the body of this planet until there is nothing left to devour. Where would you go? What would you do?”

“Zombies let us explore notions of the apocalypse - no water, food, medical care, the government imploding - while letting us sleep at night.”

“I remember I used to come up to my teacher crying because I couldn't read. She would say: 'You can do this. You just don't want to do this.'”

“Often, a school is your best bet-perhaps not for education but certainly for protection from an undead attack.”

“Feelings of any kind are not known to the walking dead. Every form of psychological warfare, from attempts at enraging the undead to provoking pity have all met with disaster. Joy, sadness, confidence, anxiety, love, hatred, fear—all of these feelings and thousands more that make up the human “heart” are as useless to the living dead as the organ of the same name. Who knows if this is humanity’s greatest weakness or strength? The debate continues, and probably will forever.”
