The prompt for today is: zombies
This is what I wrote:
There are several movie reviewers I watch
online. I’ve been rewatching episodes of
one lately, and I’m in the Halloween episodes, which is why I’m talking about
zombies in February.
I’m not a big zombie fan. Off hand, I can only think of three zombie
movies I’ve seen, and of those the only one I liked was Shaun of the Dead. Zombies
aren’t as interesting as, say, vampires.
Of course, I’m not a big vampire fan either. I think I’ve written three vampire stories,
but one of those was about a guy for whom “vampire” is just the closest term we
have for what he really is, and another was about a woman who modified her body
with nanites so she could play vampire. I
do have a series of stories I need to work on at some point about “zombies,”
but they are just dead bodies who – through nanites – are puppeted by criminals
to commit crimes.
Looking back at what I’ve done with
vampires and want to do with zombies, I guess I want to use these popular
templates, but in my own way. Which is
probably the best way to use them. I
mean, you don’t want to just shamble around like a zombie writing about …
zombies.
