The Walking Alive

I just saw a friends tweet, he said he was playing the video game The Walking Dead. I tweeted back and asked why no one played The Walking Alive, I mean who needs all the exercise when you’re dead.

If I were The Walking Dead and had to be hunting down people for my next meal, I'd get a car. I mean these guys look like they are having a hard time walking anyway. Walking around dead must take a lot out of you. Yeah, I’d defiantly get a car or maybe a motorcycle. Yeah that would work. You could go as fast as you want because who’s going to give a ticket to a zombie?

The thing that’s really weird about zombies is you can kill them. Now how do you kill something that is already dead? I don’t really understand that. Zombie killers always have big guns and they may have to shoot one a bunch of times, but they eventually fall down dead, again.

And they can’t talk; they just go around saying, “Awwwwwwwwwww.” I don’t think that’s a word.

In a lot of these zombie movies, the walking dead are usually the only ones out and about. Everyone else is hiding, usually in a bedroom with a bunch of other people. They are always on the floor watching the doors and windows for a zombie attack.

Now since everyone is hiding and no one is minding the stores, wouldn’t you help yourself to something a lot nicer than rags? I mean these guys are always in rags. What’s up with that? I’d be finding me a Neiman Marcus or something on Rodeo Drive and I’d help myself to a little Versace, or Michael Kors or Dolce&Gabbana. You know, I sure wouldn’t be going around in rags. Maybe a nice pair of Jimmy Choo’s and a Coach bag to match. I mean if your a zombie, it's not like you have any moral code you follow or care about laws or anything.

I saw on Ebay that you can buy a Zombie Survival Kit. I don’t know what’s in it, maybe an extra face to eat off, some big guns I’d expect and a note that says, “Get out of there you idiot!” Because if you are living where there are zombies, someone needs to tell you to get out of Dodge.

It’s weird that our society is so into zombies. What started this zombies-vampires, all this dead come back to life stuff? It’s rather disturbing. I belong to a writing site where you post your work to be critiqued and get feedback from other writers. Some of the writers are great, some not so. 


I have noticed that the most popular stories seem to be horror. Lots of vampire stuff. I don’t read those. Others aren’t about vampires but are very dark. 


People are really fascinated by the dark side, but they kind of want a happy ending. Or maybe people are hoping that they don’t have to stay dead once they die. They can come back as a vampire or a zombie. I don’t know why you would want to, but maybe it brings a bit of comfort to think death isn’t really dead.

Well I know of One who came back from the dead and He didn’t come back as a zombie or vampire. He came back so we wouldn’t have to face death and punishment. He came back from the dead to give us life, hope, peace and a since of worth and purpose.

So if you are afraid of death and you’re hoping to be a vampire or a zombie one day, I have a much better idea. Jesus died so you wouldn’t have to, He doesn’t want zombies, (because if you don't have Him, you truly are The Walking Dead) He wants to give us an abundant life, one full of promise. So if you are thinking of buying one of those Zombie Survival Kits, I have a better deal, buy a bible instead. It’s the original survival guide.
