I'm a reasonably private person. I haven't written many detailed autobiographical entries. If I'm publishing anything to the internet then it's usually not about me. There's so much more to talk about that I consider of greater importance.Anyhow, I think some people will enjoy my style of writing so I've decided to publish my first eBook. I usually write opinions and responses to current events. I like the freedom of editorials, but I've written some serious articles too. I'm starting to see the humor in everything now, and I think it shows in my work. I don't know. You can be the judge if you like.

About the Author

Definition:

A zombie is a reanimated corpse without the regular operating faculties of a healthy human. The behavior of the reanimated corpse can differ depending on their classification and brain damage.

Origin:

The English word zombie is a recreation of the Haitian Creole word zonbi and the North Mbundu word nzumbe. These words refer to an animated corpse that has been placed under the effects of sorcery from West African Vodun (Voodoo). The zombie classification that is most like the origin of the word is the supernatural zombie.

Classifications:

‘Viral Zombies’ - This is the most popular classification of zombies. These are the corpses of humans that have been infected then died either from the infection or other causes and became reanimated. This virus spreads through the saliva and blood and is presumably present in all other fluids or material of a zombie. The viral zombie strain only affects the human species and only those that have been exposed to the virus. A virus spreads through cell multiplication so it is important to sterilize the areas of all wounds. Reanimation of a human corpse relies in them being exposed to the virus while they were alive. The virus is carried through the body by the beating heart, thus exposing the brain and other parts of the body to the virus. Infection and fever follows, then death and reanimation. The brain must be destroyed to cease reanimation of this zombie.

These zombies are slow movers with rotting flesh. Since their muscles are not oxygenated regularly by blood flow, they cannot move quickly. They are dead and rotting and their functionality relies strictly on what physical law will allow. The muscle tissue receives movement information from the brain for as long as the nervous system can relay information. Eventually, the rotting and muscle use without a proper oxygen delivery system will severely limit the zombie’s movement capability. Disposal
