Zombies Anonymous

By M. Chapman

As a member of the undead, even though he retains his faculties, Archibald Griest is rejected by family, friends, work colleagues and has no legal rights. In fact, as a zombie, there’s no washing–up to do. Archie forms a support group called Zombies Anonymous to discuss this new state of supernatural existence with other zombies including: The problem of slowly rotting; the predilection of the living to bury while you're asleep and whether Chanel No. 5 can cover the smell. But, as the number of zombies rise, the living residents of his home-town of Springdale go from curious to hostile. The behaviour of the living horrify the zombies. This leads Archie to consider going from a convener of a support group to an activist for zombie rights.

Writing may well be the most fun you can have by yourself. Of course there are people who say it’s actually chocolate. But writing is zero calorie and doesn’t get sticky at warm temperatures. It is certainly quite easy to while away the hours creating characters, envisioning alternate realities and exploring ideas in a humorous way. Unfortunately reality has an unpleasant habit of asserting itself - bills, jobs, food, going to the loo etc. But I think that to write is to put off reality, what ever that is, as long as possible. So get red bills, stay unemployed, starve and wear a nappy.Science fiction, or perhaps it should be speculative fiction, is simply the first and only genre to consider when writing. If you are engaged in a work of imagination then why limited yourself to fluffy romance, septic horror, boring thriller or an unintelligible mystery when you do anything you like!“He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence, and it was often difficult to tell which was which.” Douglas Adams.
