When the Zombie Apocalypse comes, the uninfected aren't the only ones just trying to...survive.Follow an unnamed everyman teacher as he adjusts to his new normal in the world of the undead in this 4,000 word short story.
This book was posted as a freebie within a Goodreads forum so I thought I'd check it out. Not being the biggest fan of zombies, I was about to pass it up when the top Amazon review caught my attention. It's because of that negative review that I felt compelled to read this book and judge it for myself.
In my opinion, it's a well written short story about a zombie who has retained some of his memories of being human. I thought it was a unique perspecive and enjoyed getting within the mind of a zombie and learning how his rational thoughts were clouded by his insatiable hunger. It was a quick read, but definitely enjoyable.
This was a fun little story I grabbed while it was available for free. What caught my attention was the prospect of experiencing being a zombie from the POV of a zombie itself. The author did a great job conveying a believable picture of the possible leftovers of a zombie's mind, musing about its ability to still remember bits of the past while fighting a growing, ever-present and all-consuming hunger. Most depressing, however, was its inability to either express or do anything about it's horrible fate, making me wish for him to forget everything and become a truly mindless creature instead.
What a fun story. I loved that the story was written from the zombies perspective. This story was very well written and I never thought I'd actually feel sorry for a zombie .
