Zombie Zoo

This is something I wrote a while ago as I was playing with ideas for Zombie Apocalypse.  It is a bit of dialogue between the two main characters, Mike and Andy, and hopefully give the tone I am wanting for these stories.

Mike: I want to go to the zoo.
Andy: Why do you want to go to the zoo?
Mike: To see if there are undead animals there.
Andy: Have we seen any undead animals yet? No. What makes you think the zoo has undead animals?
Mike: I don’t know, but I still want to look. And I want to bring my new camera and equipment I got.
Andy: You mean stole.
Mike: I did not steal it. It belongs to us. And this coming from the guy that now owns every gaming system and game known to man.
Andy: How does it belong to us? And that’s beside the point.
Mike: We are the undisputed rulers of the world.
Andy: How did you come by that decision?
Mike: Well, I think we should rule the world. Everyone, those few that we manage to come by, are always too caught up in worrying about zombies. They are too busy to dispute our claim. So, we rule the world.
Andy: We aren’t doing a good job at it. There are zombies all over the place eating our citizens.
Mike: The zombies are our citizens too. They are just the Living Impaired ones.
Andy: Dork.
Mike: But yeah, I am going to bring my camera and work on stuff for my art show.
Andy: What are you talking about?
Mike: I am working on pictures for my “Apocalyptic Beauty” collection to show the masses.
Andy: What masses?
Mike: Our people; after the apocalypse is over and the world is repopulated.
Andy: Our people are very limited. We haven’t seen anyone in a week or so. And how is the world going to get repopulated?
Mike: We are going to so it.
Andy: Dude, we are dudes. We need babes for that and they are in short supply these days.
Mike: Yeah, but think about it. When we find some how can they not want to be with us. They are the key to humanities rebirth. Plus, we are the rulers of the world.
Andy: Good point. Wait, why am I listening to this? You are supposed to be the older one, the saner one here.
Mike: True, but anyways. To the zoo?
Andy: Why not?
Mike: I’ll grab my camera.
Andy: We can stop by one of the military bases to pick up some more weapons and maybe a tank.
Mike: Let’s just keep it simple.
Andy: But I want rocket launchers and grenades and stuff that goes boom. Besides, you were in the military.
Mike: I was in the Air Force. I can shoot an M-16 and pretend like I know what I am doing with a 9mm. Anything else and you know we are just going to hurt ourselves.
Andy: True, but it could be fun.
Mike: Ok, we can stop at the military base before the zoo, but no blowing up my animals.
Andy: But…
Mike: Ok, maybe one or two after I take my pictures and if they are undead.
Andy: Deal.
