Assignment 10- Isaac

As a huge dork and a big fan of zombie movies from Romero's classics to "Zombieland", I'm only a little ashamed to admit that I have some semblance of a zombie plan. There a two pocketknives on my bedside table, blankets and a backpack in my closet, and if I can't make it to my kitchen to get food I can always climb out of my window, where a tree branch is conveniently located within grabbing distance. Once out of the house, I'm following the "Prime Directive" of zombie attacks: find shelter, find friends, and avoid conflict. I'm going to need guns at some point, or at least a longer hand-to-hand weapon, but if I'm smart those come with shelter, friends or both.Avoiding conflict extends beyond avoiding the undead horde- it also means I can't piss off anyone I come across. Finding friends will be difficult, because apocalyptic situations tend to upset people. If I can get a car I'll certainly drive it... but not on the main roads. I don't know if you've read World War Z (if you haven't I highly recommend it), but it truly shows the kind of traffic jam flesh-eating monster can cause. I'll stick to rural roads or none at all, and hit every gas station I come across for more fuel. I'm going to try and avoid cities or heavily populated areas and probably head to the mountains, where there won't be many undead but there should be enough plants and wild game to last me a while. Mountains also serve as a natural sort of fortress- they're basically nature's castles. My other option, which is much more difficult but also potentially safer, is to find an actual castle.

But odds are I'll be dead before I find a suitable weapon.
