The popular image of the zombie is one of a ravenous, hungry monster. George Romero highlighted this by having his cinematic zombies run amok in a shopping mall. Dawn of the Dead is a not-so-subtle, but still clever commentary on consumerism.
But what of the zombie who merely exists, and is full of apathy and ennui? These zombies walk amongst us, and you can see them on your commute to work, and maybe even in your office. These quiet zombies will never get their own movie, or Halloween decoration, but they are the scarier of the two.
You, dear reader, can turn into one of these zombies, gradually, like an infection.
Don't let that happen.
