Traffic Jam from Hell

You're on your way home from a stressful day dealing with idiots who act like mindless zombies when you stop unexpectedly on the road due to a traffic jam, much like the one portrayed in this photo. You're about to get out when chaos erupts from everywhere. Gun shots, helicopters buzzing above, waves of bloodied pedestrians walking/running past your car occupy your attention at once. Switching the radio on, all you here is a generic emergency broadcast message. Outside, passersby’s speak of cannibals and zombies, their loved ones coming back from the gates of hell to attack the living. Your worst fear is realized and you are miles from your well-fortified house. The telltale moaning that accompanies the legions of the dead can be heard over the battlefield that has become State Road 31. Are you prepared to face the undead horde with what you have in your trunk? Follow these three steps to find out!
Step One: Don't Panic! Since you are reading this, it means that the scenario above hasn't happened and you have time to prepare for it. Unless you’re in the traffic jam using an iPhone. I suggest not trying to brain the zombies with your iPhone. They weren’t made for that.
Step Two: Pack an emergency backpack that will hold everything you’ll need. You’ll have to abandon the car because of the traffic jam. It would be pointless. The contents of your pack will vary depending on your environment. If you live in a generally cold place make sure to pack your fuzzy mittens. The essentials though should contain: First Aid Kit, “The Zombie Survival Guide”, energy bars, bottled water, a map of the city/state, comfortable hiking shoes, and a weapon.
Step Three: When traveling, be it alone or in a group, confront zombies as little as possible. It’s a time saver as well as a life saver. The television show, “The Walking Dead” provide examples of avoiding confrontation. The link is from AMC’s website. There is mature content in the way of blood and zombified gore.

Next blog I’ll discuss what types of weapons are suitable to defend yourself from zombies. Please comment with your preferred way of sending zombies back to where they belong and join me next time to see if your weapon of choice is up to snuff.

  1. Good news! All of your skills will soon be put to the test, because i believe the zombie apocalypse is upon us:

    I am hoping that your next blog should address this face-gnawing zombie man (patient 0, if you will), and perhaps discuss how in the heck one manages to get that much of their face chewed off without, uhhh, running away. From what I've gathered, he was just laying there.

    1. That news story is everywhere today. Pictures were leaked of the crime scene and such today. If you really want to find them I have the link. I didn't find the information to be morbid but since I'm a criminal justice major these type of news articles really peak my interest.

    2. If the perpetrator was acting under the influence of drugs, as the Miama Herald article asserts, he might have had temporary adrenaline-induced strength. That may have been enough to hold the victim in place until he passed out -- which I would expect to happen shortly after the attack began.

      Or perhaps it was a viral zombie infection, which mutated the genes to cause such superhuman strength.

      I eagerly await the autopsy results!

    3. I don't think the police would allow an autopsy to reveal a viral infection. The American public don't want zombified individuals who feast on the flesh of their fellow man, they want drugged up people that see Big Macs instead of faces. The real way to tell if the man was a zombie is if more of these happen and the CDC is called into action.

  2. Aw, snap. I forgot to capitalize an "I" up there. I have terrible blog etiquette.
