Blogging the Zombie Apocalypse
The world as we know it has ended and survivors are few and far between. They’re suffering from exposure to the elements and some are running low on food, water, and first aid supplies. The ones who have stuck it out the longest have survivor’s guilt.
But they all have two things in common: they’re trying to survive in a world infested with zombies, and they’re blogging about every detail at LastDaysJournal.com.
Finally, a social networking project I can get behind. It’s sci-fi alternate reality meets survival blog meets MySpace meets RPG in a post-apocalyptic multimedia zombie extravaganza. Here’s the premise:
imagine that the world had been afflicted by a terrible pandemic that killed millions and millions of people in just a few short weeks. now also imagine that those millions of people that were killed by this disease had also gotten back up and started attacking and infecting others as deadly man-eating zombies. now finally imagine that somebody on a tiny, remote island had created a web site for the lucky few who might still have electricity and internet access, and that this site was the sole means for survivors of this terrible tragedy to communicate with and get advice from other human beings in similar situations all around the world.
Survivors who register at the site use text, audio, video, and images to describe their circumstances as they fight off the undead and attempt to maintain some semblance of normalcy.
The warning sign at the top of this post was contributed by Agatha, a survivor in Wisconsin who has found herself fostering several orphaned children who have no one else to protect them. Bruce in New York finally made it out of the subway tunnels and has taken up position in the 42nd Street Library. Check out the stories as they unfold at LastDaysJournal.com.
