Zombies aren’t supposed to exist. But what if they do, and we interact with them every day? Chuck Klosterman’s essay, “My Zombie, Myself”, compares everyday life to the task of killing zombies.

Suddenly, a soft resonating moan starts to fill the empty air of the bedroom. Looking out the window, the world is an eerie grey with nothing moving but the occasional garbage blowing in the wind. Suddenly the horizon begins to change as a crowd of people begin to emerge. Watching nervously, the figures get closer and turn into something much more menacing. They are all disease-invested, flesh-rotted, brain-hungry zombies! Where did these undead monsters come from? How do they survive? What

My favorite snippet of “The Walking Dead” takes place in the first season when the show demonstrates the neurological effect the zombie virus has on the brain and how electric impulses continue to fire in certain cortexes even after death. In the next season, viewers learn that the virus lies dormant in everyone and then activates after death. While most people probably dismissed these scenes when the next zombie attack transpired, I spent time contemplating the possibility of a virus or disease affecting the brain in a way similar to that depicted. What enthralled my imagination had little to do with the action or gore, but rather the scientific reasoning and justification. With my curiosity sparked, I researched the notion of zombies,

I use passive voice when I wanted to make sure the direct object was focused on. One instance is the sentence, “But when I was hired by Mr. Simmons that all changed.” I used it like this to put the focus on “I” who in this case is Mr. Grant. I wanted him to be the focus, not Mr. Simmons, especially since he is narrating this part. This sentence also starts with the word “but” which is a conjunction and not traditionally used at the beginning of a sentence, but (haha but) I wanted
