As I listened to the local radio station this snowy morning to find out if my kids school bus had been cancelled the radio announcer stated that the recent strange events in the area are the result of a very real zombie infection. As I listened to these words, I thought to myself. "Zombies? Really?"
It is difficult to believe. Trust me, I know. I have been a fan of the zombies genre for as long as I can remember. George Romero classic films, Resident evil games and movies, Call of Duty zombies, but I now know that zombies are quite real.
Now, let me first say that I live in a small town in north southern Ontario named Lindsay. It is in fact the heart of the amalgamated city of Kawartha Lakes, but local growth is deliberately limited by town council. Needless to say there isn't a whole lot of local news here. It is common place for front page news to report the mundane of daily life in these parts.
A couple of weeks ago, some very unusual occurrences were getting all the local media attention. Bodies were reported stolen from the local funeral home, unexplained vehicle crashes and the drivers were missing. An explosion of missing persons reports. Then last week my kids school bus crashed into the Remax office building. Other then some bumps and bruises they, along with most others were okay. Then a couple of days later my wife who works at one of the local hair salons, a hub for gossip and rumours comes home with some disturbing news. Though she is not much for gossip she heard that the Firefighters who first arrived at the scene found the bus driver in a violent rage trying to "bite" some of the children and then attacked one of the Firefighters.
As I look out my window this morning at the fluffy white snow gently falling I think to myself "Zombies? Really?".
