Shoot Them In The Brains If You Want To Live
One more time: I love you guys.
So, I guess I don't talk about it too much, but these days I find myself really interested in zombie-related fiction. I think starting with The Walking Dead TV series, and then it was just increased with Deadly Premonition (even though they're "Shadows", not necessarily zombies.) IDK. I mean, I live in the Portland Metro Area. Portland. We've got an annual "Zombie Walk".
The idea of a zombie apocalypse legit freaks me out. I mean, people you know becoming empty husks with one mission, and that mission is to EAT YOU. So I didn't expect to actually stomach The Walking Dead, but I ended up LOVING it, and Zombieland, and the zombie episode of Community, and a growing love of survival/horror video games, even though I've only played two (Alan Wake and Deadly Premonition) and they're pretty tame in the horror part. I want to play Resident Evil (partly because Jill is one of my best characters in Marvel vs. Capcom 3), but I still tend to freak out while playing video games. I used to panic during Zelda when I had to deal with heights. Yes, I used to be afraid of video game heights.
Also, video games have sort of corrupted me to the point where a small part of me really wants a sawed-off shotgun. Or at least a toy one. I SERIOUSLY DO NOT EVEN KNOW. I DON'T LIKE GUNS.
Er, I do have a point in all this rambling, and here it is: I got a sudden burst of inspiration this morning on my way to school, pulled out my notebook, and just went at it. I am finally writing an original story for the first time since high school, and goddamn it feels good. It's not even close to done, but when it is done, I'll post it.
It's basically a story of two friends trying to make their way back home in a post-apocalyptic zombie world. Not a very original concept, but I'm having fun with it.
I realized the other day, while writing one of the posts about my dad, I figured that with all the "My head will explode" and other weird things I was saying, it would probably be a good idea for me to get back to writing, as an outlet.
And I guess I'll admit, I think part of the inspiration may have... been all the Supernatural fic I had read the night before that took place in the future shown in "The End". (AND THERE GOES MY CREDIBILITY.) Also it was all Dean/Castiel (DON'T JUDGE ME). (For some reason I'm embarassed by the fact that I like that show so much and actually ship Dean/Castiel. More on that another day.)
TL;DR: I don't get my mind.
I'll leave you with this:
