It has begun...

I often wondered how the Zombie Apocalypse will begin. Until now I had assumed it would be started by the unusual events starting back in July of 2008. A fireball descended over Southern California and disappeared before anyone could find evidence.

And again in September 09 and as recently as January of 2010. I myself have witnessed one of these fireballs and can vouch that it is humbling and awe inspiring.

The biggest news though was the impact of a meteorite in Peru which caused local villagers to fall ill. This was the beginning of the end to me.

But the truth of the ZA will arise from what will be heralded as a breakthrough in modern medicine and/or man's extension of his lifespan.

Brain cancer vaccine. Enough said.

Eighteen months later I would reflect upon this turn of events while reloading my shotgun in a derelict Jamba Juice followed shortly by the jarring bark of my 100-pound Rottweiler, Artemis, as more limping corpses came our way.
