Things as they are. It's not easy being a zombie. One day you wake up as if from a dream and you no longer remember anything about your previous life.. And I say this so that it is understood, more or less, what i want to say because, as anyone will already be calculating, if one does not remember anything from his previous life, how do you know you had it? GOOD, In our case it is something you suspect, more than anything, by the clues that your height gives you and the appearance of a grown man that you have when you wake up from sleep and that makes you deduce that perhaps at some point you must have had the build of a teenager or a small child like those that you meet from time to time out there. Bueno, for that and because, then, when you bite another human being, who ends up turning into a zombie, like you, You have to be very stupid not to realize what's happening..
But, In fact, that's the good thing about being a zombie, that you don't remember anything of what you were. That saves you from a lot of headaches.. You're welcome, For example, that in your previous life you had a disastrous marriage that made your life bitter. Or that you lived in the most absolute ruin. Or that you had a job that you hated with all your soul, but you couldn't get out. Or that you did something that you always regretted and whose consequences you could not overcome. Childhood traumas? Overcome. Family disputes? Forgotten. Mortgages, insurance payment, debts with the treasury or banks, lack of employment, curricular deficiency; from what we have deduced, everything suddenly disappears. So, on that side, the life of a zombie is relatively happy. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. What if he had been a rich and powerful man? So what? Bueno, it's true, I'm not going to deny that that possibility exists., but, if we stick to the statistics, this is quite unlikely, so, Why would you regret what would almost certainly work against you if you returned to that previous life?? Regarding the so-called conflicts of the soul, there is no blame here, nor sin, no regrets of any kind, and that's pretty good. All of this, Put aside the heavy burden of doubt that seems to torment many people and that would be an unbearable annoyance for us..
Another good thing about being a zombie is that we are a fairly anarchic community.. Here everyone goes to their own, without getting involved in what others do. We do not have leaders to give us the noise, nor do we need a structure to organize our messy lives. We don't need police to regulate us either., well, unlike what happens with people who are alive, we don't hurt each other. In general, except for some dishonorable exception, We zombies tend to share almost everything. With certain limits, it's true, but generally we are a fairly well-connected community. You will never see a zombie who is bothered by sharing a piece of meat that has fallen into his hands with a partner. It's not that we're squeamish about these matters.. When this happens, We don't keep our manners either and we tend to start devouring our victims without waiting for anyone.. But we don't care that, in the middle of the feast, join some colleague who was in need, knowing, how do we know, that the other would do the same if you were in his place.
However, for not putting everything so pretty, I must add that if the life of a zombie has any drawbacks, it is because of hunger.. From the moment you wake up to this new life (the non-life, as some call it, although the term is confusing and there is no agreement on it), you feel a craving that you can't get rid of at any time. I don't know how to explain it. It's not exactly a hole., It is a kind of emptiness that you feel in your stomach and that you cannot appease no matter how much effort you put into devouring everyone you meet.. you eat and eat, and it seems like you never get full. In part, It's not exactly a big problem either., because that need for constant food serves as an incentive, basically, to occupy your days and nights, otherwise and since you never sleep, they would be unbearably long. something has to be done. But that doesn't mean it's annoying. It must be taken into account, besides, that not eating doesn't kill you with hunger either, since, In fact, you are already dead, and you cannot kill what is no longer alive, but never being able to get rid of that feeling ends up being a bit of a bummer and leaves little time to think about other things..
As you see, In general, zombies don't lead bad lives.. With no other obligation than to satisfy that eternal feeling of appetite, we lead a relatively peaceful existence. There's always some idiot trying to cut off your head., that's also like that, but following certain precautions, you can dodge them relatively easily (people are not as smart as they think). You travel a lot. at a slow pace, that's also true, so, to get anywhere, you must arm yourself with patience. Nothing happens either. Since you are already dead, you have all the time in the world at your disposal. it compensates you, in this case, the idea that, as it does not require any motor vehicle, you do your bit for the environment, we have to see how the world has been for a few years. You have left it, it is sad. On the other hand, it must be taken into account that, The fact of not having belongings gives you a feeling of freedom that I think others do not enjoy., those who say they are alive.
The only problem we've had for a while now is that, with this virus, People were locked in their homes and there was no way to find anyone to fill the void., and we've had a pretty bad time, to my understanding. On this, We city zombies have had it especially difficult. It's not that before the pandemic people were very trusting, but, suddenly, became more cautious than usual and it became more difficult to catch them careless. Since they didn't go out at night either., that deprived us of our most productive hours. But I must say that I say this just to complain.. I know a few who work in the interior towns and from the news that we have received from them, It doesn't seem like things went better for them than for us.. As they say, people did not go to cemeteries to get sick, like they did before, and it was difficult to catch them alone on the street outside a bar, since they were all closed.
But now that it seems that we have changed phase, Things are getting lively and we have decided to go out and try our luck.. You must keep in mind that, after so many weeks of martyrdom, walking from here to there without a clear objective, now I feel a little weak in strength. If you want me to tell you the truth, I was about to hunt you down when you crossed that alley, but I thought about it a little and, Seeing me struggling with you for a measly bite, I told myself, What if instead of attacking him like that, by surprise, I try to talk to him? It may seem very daring to you, but I thought that, So, chatting a little and explaining my reasons, maybe it would convince you. I do not know, to try. Now that this pandemic seems to be subsiding, I have been thinking and I have decided to change my habits. From today, instead of going like this, in desperation, to eat someone, I will try to negotiate it. I think that, in liberal societies, exchange is better than resorting to violence, don't you think?
So, that? Do you dare? Have I convinced you? you, let me give you a bite, please. You won't even notice. At first, does a little damage, but tomorrow you won't even remember what happened to you. Total, at your age and with that health that you have, how much time do you think you have left in this world? GERARDO LEON
