The issue with a zombie reality is the following: you need energy to sustain energy. So if zombies don’t actually feed, then how are they self-sustaining? It goes against all natural laws. Sure, claim supernatural, but there has to be some reason.
My other issue with zombie movies, so one person becomes infected and attacks another person because they are driven by hunger. Why oh why are the follow-up zombies always as intact as the original? If you figure you’re getting mauled by multiple zombies, there shouldn’t be much of anything left. Even if the transformation took 10 seconds (like in WWZ) that’s plenty of time for a dozen zombies to successfully dismember a victim. So in essence, you wouldn’t have worldwide zombies by the millions/billions. After the first few thousand, hundred thousan, they’d clean any new victims clear to the bone to self-sustain.
The only issue I have with your story is that if there has clearly been an zombie apocalypse, why would your co-worker be at work getting mauled? Is he/she also one of the folks who was sick and missed the news, odds are slim.
To survive an apocalypse of this nature its important to be quiet. Firearms attract more attention from other zombies. Sorry, but unless you’ve got a silencer or its a last ditch resort, should probably stay 'ol Betsy for when you’re out in the country. Utilize distractions/noises to get by zombies - throw staplers, cans, whatever to get them on a separate path than the one you need to take.
Makeshift a McGuyver weapon, even if its not the best, something to put between you and the zombie. Wrap easily accessed extremities in magazines, tape, etc (this was a good one from WWZ). Don’t try to pack anything heavy, stay light on your feet, because chances are good you’re going to need to hall ass. Have your car keys ready, and if possible unlock the car doors well before you get there, may need to get in and get it started asap.
Return home, pack light with necessities. Don’t over do, only that which you’ll need. Another option is to dig in and hide, my first paragraph points that the longevity of a zombie apocalypse most likely won’t last, they may die out. You can always bail later if there is no end in sight. Being in a familiar location will make you more (mentally) comfortable than being in a brand new one.
Don’t be a hero and don’t follow the movies. Your survival depends on staying low on the radar, out of high population areas, and avoiding contact with any/all humans. The more people you have with you, the more likely they may get you ousted. This is obviously forgivable if it happens to be an attractive female(s).

Omg yes. Except replace Varquanir with Hallowed. Sorry Varq you know the rules; 1 cock per fantasy.
I almost feel like I should make a new thread about being stuck on a desert island with DN, Beth, and Hallowed.

Maybe to interject a little reality. The average 20 something is more prepared for a zombie attack than a power outage, automotive failure, or first aid emergency. So when I hear people babbling about what their going to do when the zombie’s attack. I find it kind of laughable. I’m all for people bettering themselves and improving their skills to cope with events when the shit hits the fan. However, pretending like you’re a badass to fight zombies is dumb.
Waitz,
Speaking of toys what kind of shotgun did you get?
[/quote]
Mosberg 500 [/quote]
Did you get the tactical/riot style? NO benelli M4? [/quote]
He could buy 3 mossbergs for the price of one M4. For the overwhelming majority the M4 is just a ego booster.[/quote]
Have you ever shot a benelli?
Mossbergs are hit or miss. I blew the head spacing on mine. I will probably never purchase another mossberg due to their quality control issues. [/quote]
Yes, I have owned a SBEII and a Nova (which I still have). My primary use shotgun now is a Rem 11-87. And to Mossberg not holding up to the 3.5 in loads, my experience has not been that at all. I have known plenty of people that have had their Mossberg for years. Also Mossberg was the inventor of the 3.5 in chamber so I just think that they would know a thing or two about building a gun to stand up to it.
And if you are only talking repeating shotguns, which I thought we were, then the Cosmi is probably the most expensive in the world and it is only like $10,000 I think.

I was afraid of that. DN would probably kill me in my sleep and take the two girls for herself.

Nope she would tie you up and use you when you were needed.
You MAY be able to kill a bunch of wild dogs, but no chance against those three females.

After being really sick for a week with the weird flu that racked the world. You had been so miserable and sick you hadn’t really turned on the TV and emails with work were sporadic – seemed like everyone had been sick. You’re fine, but kind of weak and crappy feeling.
Traffic is pretty light. There was a house fire and you saw cops driving like idiots the other way.
You get to the offfice; the door is open and lights are on, but the receptionist is not there.
You get to your office or cubical or whatever you work in when you hear screaming across the floor.
You look out, and there are two strangers, very pale, flesh falling from their face, eating a co-worker. Blood everywhere. One more is lurching down the hallway, walking away from you.
You are not noticed, and duck back into your office. What do you do now?[/quote]
Join in! That’s quality protein

I mean, if you want to be super rational about it, mother nature would deal with a zombie ‘apocalypse’ REALLY fast. If the delivery system for the disease wasn’t incredibly effective and the disease itself incredibly adaptive, nothing would really happen(see: other diseases in modern times). Should the disease actually have those traits, then the only survivors are already in scenarios where they keep on surviving anyway(isolated), excepting those that are both isolated and ill-equipped to do so.
That shit isn’t fun to think about though, kinda why we wrote the fiction in the first place.
