A real life Zombie would be scary.

^^ That little insight is an example of one of the many shambolic thoughts that cascade through my mind during the course of the day. It's 10pm at night and you're standing around in a dark street waiting for a bus, birds (crows?) of some description are squacking off in the distance, the trees in the park near you russle and you see shadows of Lord knows what flicker peripherally, it's only natural that undeath becomes salient.

Seriously. Think about it. We've all played zombie games in our time, running around the streets of a deserted city or run-down building... Seeing an animated cadaver limp around a corner. But seriously consider it happening to you in real life.

I imagined one today, coming from underneath some street lights. It wasn't even running or anything. Slowly but gradually making its frenzied way towards me. That's scary.

Or how about my one apparition of a herd of 5-6 all charging around of the bushes? That slow-motion reveal where I can only see their figures in the darkness, as they teasingly step into the curtain of light and unveil their malicious intent.

It seriously puts me in the mood to play Left4Dead, which as I have heard, places one in the exact mindset of complete surprise and shock. I haven't played a game with that in such a long time. I think I might have to go out with Gordon some day and play it at a LAN place - said he'd be up for it. He said it'd be for multiplayer, but I'm more interested in campaigning with him. Will have to find someone else who'd be interested in doing that... Hmmm! Maybe Connor and Spears and Gordon and me? That'd be an interesting team!

*mind races at the endless Zombiephillic possibilities*

And now I'm going to sleep after having relived all those visions. Nightmares much? D:
