fast moving pulmonary anthrax zombies?!

[thejunipertree]

I have continually attempted to have this conversation with myself, but it never works out quite so well.

Zombies are, after all, pretty fucking scary.

Although, I still think the fast moving ones are scarier.
I mean, c'mon. My fat ass running away from Olympic sprinting-type zombies? That's a laugh, I tell you.

Slow moving walkers for me, please.

I'm in the minority on this, in that I find the good ol' fashioned Romeroesque living dead to be much scarier, because they're so slow and apparently ineffectual that they sort of fade into the background. But they're patient, and they're always there, just waiting for you to fuck up. Because they're always out there, and they won't stop, and they won't go away until you're in their bellies or your lurching along beside them.

And, eventually you will fuck up. You'll be lulled into a false sense of security, you'll become overconfident, and you'll stop seeing them as a threat, and that's when the biting and the ripping and the rending start. Or just the biting.

Either way, as you're slowly being ripped to shreds, or your body and mind are failing from the ravages of mad zombie disease, you'll have plenty of time to reflect on your own stupidity. "They're so slow, they're so stupid, and they still got me. Because I'm a dumbass. Because my friends are dumbasses."

Yep. That's way scarier than the adrenaline rush and panic of fighting off the more athletic cousins of the living dead. At least to me.

See, I'm still scared senseless by the slow ones. Whether they're fast or slow, I'm still not coming out of whatever hideyhole I've managed to get myself into.

However, in the event I am forced out of said hideyhole, I'm far more inclined to be ok about running away from the slow ones than the fast ones.

I'm not ones of those people who are all "They're slow! You can just walk right past them!" Hell. No.
