\"Zombified-1.docx\"I\u2019m a zombie. Well, not entirely correct, I think I am a zombie but I am not sure. You see, six months ago I was working in a dull office building minding my own pathetic life and complaining of how I am not really living my life the way I wanted to. That was six months ago. Now I wish I had that life again.<\/p>\n

I wake up, dress up, go downstairs, make some coffee then open the door to leave the house and usually face flesh eating zombies before my house. But the thing is, they don\u2019t seem to notice me. In fact, they ignore me even if I hit them. They only come if I make noise and when they do they stop and look around me as if I am invisible. I don\u2019t know why, I don\u2019t know how but I only know that I am the only living person in this city and it\u2019s filled with zombies. I walk among them, even push them away in the deserted supermarkets when I get my cans of food. It\u2019s nothing like in the movies, it\u2019s just horribly strange. One time there was a zombie in the kitchen when I woke up. I went and made my coffee and just ignored it. I realised then that I had become one of them, even though I breathe and think like a normal person.<\/p>\n

\"Zombified1-1.docx\"Six months ago I watched my family, my friends, my colleagues get mauled by zombies. I tried to save them but there was nothing I could do. I am not a hero, I am not strong nor incredibly smart. I am average and yet I was somehow chosen to outlive everyone here. I feel so alone, it\u2019s incredible. It hurts. It hurts so much that sometimes I actually attack zombies and try to make them attack me, eat me, bite me. They don\u2019t. They just ignore me. One time I got bitten by a zombie because it was trying to reach a dead cat on a counter and my arm was in the way. I didn\u2019t get infected. The wound healed and nothing happened. I thought of killing myself but I don\u2019t have the guts to do it. Instead I just mind my own business, wake up, breakfast, get dressed, get out, ignore the zombies just like they ignore me, go shopping, meaning I just go to the deserted malls and pharmacies and take what I need. Then I go for walks in the park, ignore the zombies searching for food, I walk around for hours then I go back home, write in my journal, read a book and then go to sleep. I can\u2019t reach anyone, I haven\u2019t seen people for six months, I haven\u2019t seen anyone alive. It\u2019s just me and the zombies. Sometimes I cry myself to sleep or I just walk around in the night pretend I am one of them. It somehow makes me feel better if I think I am one of them but I know I am not and I don\u2019t know why. Why me? When I am frustrated I take an axe and just hit every zombie I lay my eyes on but they never fight back and the next day more show up as if nothing had happened.<\/p>\n

To tell you the truth I don\u2019t know what the difference is between them and me. I feel lost, empty, alone, numb and sometimes when I look in the mirror I don\u2019t recognize myself. I even have the same brainless stare as some of them do. I may not be a zombie but I do feel like one. I\u2026am\u2026zombified.<\/p>\n

Being surrounded by death is one thing, being surrounded by the undead is something entirely worse. Use talismans such as the Bushido pendant [P730]<\/a> or the Double Axe pendant [P11]<\/a> to protect yourself against the raging jaws of the undead.<\/p>\n

\"bushido\"<\/a>\"double-axe\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bones and skulls are a constant presence when living along side the undead. Alchemy’s Femur Bone faux stretch [E322]<\/a> or the No Mans Land bracelet [A103]<\/a> will help to you acclimatise to the world of gore, bones and rotting flesh.<\/p>\n
