Huh. I'm the first person to choose zombie? Really?
I mean, it's pretty much inevitable in a zombie apocalypse, right? It'd be nice to be something other than a zombie but chances are that's not gonna happen! So I'd say just go straight with the zombification. Then you don't have to worry about it anymore! You don't have to worry about anything! All you have to do is BRAAaaainsss. Braaaains, brrrrrrrraaaaaaaaains. Brains.
Brains! BRAAAAAINS. Muhhhhh. Brainssss.
