Zombies

     I have been wanting to write about zombies in the last couple of days.  It has really been a predominating thought, and theme that I wanted to work on.
     I had an idea of just writing about what would happen if there was a zombie outbreak in San Francisco, and what I would do in the case of that happening.
     The first thing I would do is to get as many supplies as I could.  I would need lots of fresh water and canned goods.
     I live in a basement of an office building, so if the doors are locked down here, the zombies would have a hard time getting in.  That part is good.
     Eventually I would have to leave, though.  That would present a problem.
     I have two bikes.  I would have to stock up on inner-tubes, which is usually the thing that goes out first on a bike.  It would be helpful if I had extra tires, too.
     I would be fucked if the power went out.  It would be pretty dark down here, and I would burn out using candles all the time.  However, I have a manual typewriter, so I could type to my hearts content.
     I am an artist, so I could sit around and make art, so at least I wouldn't get bored.  I have plenty of art materials to keep me busy for a long time.
     Also, there is lots of furniture down here to barricade the doors with, so that would be a plus.
     The bathroom is one flight up.  In theory, I could build barricades so I could get into the bathroom, and it would keep out the zombies, which would be good.
     I know nothing about firearms, so that would be bad.  I could learn how to shoot guns if someone taught me.  Or, I could be responsible and learn as much as I can about guns while I still have the internet.
     If the internet went out during a zombie attack, I would be bummed out.  It is one of the few things that keeps me going in real life.  It provides communication with others, and of course, porn, which helps keep my morale up, among other things.

     A shovel would be handy in the case of a close encounter.  I would be able to crush the zombie's skull in.

     Lots of people in San Francisco have firearms, and know how to use them, so there is a good chance that many humans would survive.

     I decided long ago that I would rather be in San Francisco for a zombie invasion than in Los Angeles, which would be much more difficult to escape from.

     Alcatraz might actually be a good place to escape the zombies, unless that area got infected, too.

     There are a lot of elderly people in San Francisco, and infirm people, so they would die.  They can't take care of themselves.  The city would stink from all the dead bodies.

      People who think they are tough, the gangster types, might do well at first, killing as many zombies as they could, but they would get into fights with each other, and would kill humans, too, as they loot stores, and try and take control of the area.  I don't have much faith in gangsters or thugs.  They just aren't good people.  The zombies would eventually get them.

     People in jail would be fucked if no one let them out.

     Hospitals would be over-run.

     If I had a chance, I would go North, where there aren't as many people.  Maybe I could find a remote area. 

     Maybe I could find some like-minded souls to live with, and be safe.

     I would stock up on cigarettes and booze, that is for goddamn sure.

     As long as I had electricity, I could play video games on my PS2, haha.

     I suppose eventually I would have to find a woman to repopulate the Earth with, if I survived.

     She would eventually betray me, or I would get sick of her, and bail, I suppose.

     She would not like my drinking and smoking, that is for sure.

     Anyway, knowing my luck, I probably wouldn't survive a zombie invasion.

     If I got turned into a zombie, I would hope my corpse would kill as many humans as possible.
