Talk:Since the Incident/@comment-24501610-20140617223625

I've always wanted to write a "zombie apocalypse" story that didn't follow the typical aspects of the genre. One thing that fascinated me is how zombie films, TV shows, etc. would sometimes depict the similarities between the zombie hoardes and the panic-stricken unrational nature that the human survivors would succumb to. I wanted that to be the focus of my story, but also give it a perspective flip. A twist of sorts, if you will. Here, the zombies are not mindless brain-eating beasts. They are just trying to survive and only want to be left in peace. It's the humans that are the monsters here. They indiscriminately kill the zombies for no reason other than an irrational fear and hatred towards them. To the zombies, humans are the mindless shuffling monsters.
