I'd go back to sleep.

 

honestly, I would probably think it was a prank my friends were pulling on me and not react, which would lead to my death T-T

 

I would've tried to find some clothes and shoes.

What was the question? lol

 

You mean after I shit myself?

 

I'd panic for a bit and then start worrying about survival.

 

Break down mentally, then force myself to try to survive.

 

I'd probably have a heart attack and die before the walkers could even get to me :zombies_lol:I wouldn't be able to kill any of them..unless I had a gun. I'd just have to pray Daryl would find me

 

Are you kidding me? I have been ready for such an eventuality for years. I have many implements of destruction within arms reach at any time in my house, there is survival bags both in my house and in my vehicle (assuming I can't get to one or the other.), and I have reinforced every possible entrance to my 2nd floor apartment. In a pinch, I can destroy the steps up to my door, and rely on rope ladder for access. I have a group of people prepared with survival training, all prepared to pull their own weight if the need arises, and 3 pre-designated meeting points in case a sudden need for exodus/martial law. In addition, I have 2 survival kits stashed in nearby caverns if shelter becomes a concern.

Before anyone thinks I am a crazy zombiphile or doomsday prepper, I am simply someone who knows that civil unrest is the last party I want to be invited to, and to be prepared for zombies is to be prepared for any civil unrest scenario. So when my local water becomes contaminated I still have something to survive on, and if food becomes scarce I know where my next meal will be coming from.

 

Well shit would be my first reaction.

 

Well, it'd start with a mental breakdown. My initial reaction would probably somewhat similar to Tara a couple of episodes ago -- I'd lock myself away somewhere and just be in complete shock.

After I work myself up to it, I'd try my best to be smart and careful and stay alive. Probably wouldn't last too long though lol.

 

I would like to believe that since we're in a universe where zombie fiction exists, we all should fair relatively well.
But, the shock factor alone of something like zombies actually coming into existence would still occur nonetheless.

That said, I primarily work at night when most normal people are asleep and drive a semi on a 360 mile round trip each shift.
I'd probably hear about it on the radio first and then let it all sink in while I keep an eye on the road and prepare to mow down anything shuffling in the middle of the road.
That and I also carry a hammer on my belt for dealing with stuck brake drums.

 

I think no one in here could actually imagine how bad it would feel.

It would be the most devastating feeling.

If person tried to survive, it would be extremily hard to keep going, alot of people would suicide after they face the fact how painfully it would be physically and mentally.

The Walking Dead is funny comedy show combared to how it would feel.

Movie called 'The Road' gives better examble how it might feel. <-- This is the most sad and dark movie ever made.

 

Going through these old threads since I'm rewatching the whole thing.
I agree about The Road. Messed up movie. In a good way. Not to mention the book. McCarthy is phenomenal.

As to the question, idk. I'd probably stay locked up in my house with my family. We have a gun and some army knives and shit like that. Plus I've been meaning to learn how to use a bow :Grin:

 

I would first go for a good log shit first and a good think about it before anything else. Get the Meat out of freezer and have a BBQ for the next couple of days

 

Currently re-watching the series, because, why not? I meandered to this thread, as I am currently watching 'Days Gone By'. I am willing to bet, I would believe that I was in a dream. I've had insanely vivid dreams since I was a young child, and many of them are based in an apocalyptic dimension (Which I can only assume is the result of growing up on horror films/novels.). In many of my dreams, I tend to do a LOT of running and hiding. I do believe I would have a moment similar to Rick, when he goes to his home, cries and asks "is this real?". That being said, much like another poster mentioned, there's no way to know how I would react, because no dream or well done film, is ever the same as real life.

 

Well, survival instincts kick in different when you have a wife and kid to find like Rick did. I'm a dad, and I know the first thing I would do it try to find my wife and son, just like Rick. Well, after finding some pants and shoes.
