Comments on 'Zombie Revolution'*_Gasp!_* as the undead walk among us!
*_Scream!_* as reanimated corpses hunger for flesh!
*_Run!_* when they come after your brain!
"Hold on, you're blowing things way out of proportion here." The man in the pinstripe suit smiled his most reassuring smile, which isn't saying much.
"Are you freaking kidding? The zombies are right there!" I shouted, pointed through the glass.
"Correction: The zombie. There's only one," he sneered.
"Okay, fine, there's only one, but he's _right there!"_ The zombie was scraping at the office window, hairy and overweight, but still plenty vicious. He looked strangely familiar, with a bushy beard that snaked in every direction from his decaying Russian skull.
"Don't panic," said the man. "It's only a matter of time. Zombie Karl Marx will find you. Why run from destiny?"
So that's who it was. Gross. "Are you nuts? He wants our _brains!"_
"He wants everyone's brains. Equally. It's perfectly fair. Maybe you should be more generous and just give him yours?"
Screw it.

Incidentally, you should check him out because he’s awesome.<br />I love how Zombie Karl Marx wants <em>all</em> of humanity’s brains. Cus he’s all about equality, ya know? ;p</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/33207?basename=716702008-06-18T16:53:34Z♠Ana Cristina♥http://ficlets.com/authors/asimon78Comment on Zombie Revolution<p>Those first three lines are really unique – felt like a pulp fiction narrative or something. It also reminded me of one of Sufjan Stevens’s songs called “They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back From The Dead!! Ahhhh!”. Yes, that’s the name of the song. He also has one called “The Black Hawk War, Or, How To Demolish An Entire Civilization And Still Feel Good About Yourself In The Morning, Or, We Apologize For The Inconvenience But You’re Going To Have To Leave Now, Or…” Yeah..</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/33207?basename=683372008-06-05T23:04:43ZStovohobohttp://ficlets.com/authors/stovohoboComment on Zombie Revolution<p>Another funny ficlet.

He’s written quite a few good tunes. The two we mentioned are my favs, but he also did “Code Monkey” which is very popular amongst the web geeks.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/33207?basename=682662008-06-05T19:07:13ZJohn Perkinshttp://ficlets.com/authors/johnperkins21Comment on Zombie Revolution<p>Thanks for the link! I hadn’t seen it before. Isn’t that the guy why wrote “Still Alive”?</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/33207?basename=682642008-06-05T18:59:05Zuselessnesshttp://ficlets.com/authors/uselessnessComment on Zombie Revolution<p>Reminds me of “Re: Your Brains” by Jonathan Coulton.<br />Video for those who have not yet experienced it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjMiDZIY1bM</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/33207?basename=682612008-06-05T18:48:24ZJohn Perkinshttp://ficlets.com/authors/johnperkins21Comment on Zombie Revolution<p>Yes, the personified propaganda poster gave this that extra 10% that took it from good to awesome.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/33207?basename=682522008-06-05T17:44:20Zthebetweenspacehttp://ficlets.com/authors/thebetweenspaceComment on Zombie Revolution<p>Mr. Suit sounds like a personified propaganda poster. I agree with THX , the surreal is really fun.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/33207?basename=682452008-06-05T17:26:21ZEckhousehttp://ficlets.com/authors/eckhouseComment on Zombie Revolution<p>Really out there and funny. So, pin-stripe suit guy is a zombie zealot? Just a firm believer in the communist/socialist way of thinking? His part gave it all a very surreal sort of feel, which was fun and different.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/33207?basename=682352008-06-05T17:00:59ZTHX 0477http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477Comment on Zombie Revolution<p>The zombie Karl Marx – what a picture!</p>
