I do appreciate the criticism, perhaps the next story I write will not have already been written.

I tend to look around before writing a story to see if it's been covered before, and if it has, what I can do to improve on the idea or tell it in a new way. There are a number of Fleshgait, zombie, alien, stories out there; it's how you make a story your own that's important.
