Zombie Nation

Georgia Tech is currently being invaded by zombies. The carnage began on Monday, as two original zombies wreaked havoc on the unsuspecting human Resistance, creating over one hundred Horde members in the first day alone. That day, I was turned, and now I wander the Tech campus craving brains and attacking all humans in sight. I've killed two already, but with no time to reflect on what I've done, I continue to pursue the kill. I will starve if I don't feed by Thursday morning... What's a zombie to do?
So I haven't gone completely insane, and I've never actually killed anyone. Instead, I'm playing Humans vs. Zombies, a Tech tradition I've wanted to get involved in since the tenth grade, when I was touring the campus and saw the game being played. Basically, HVZ is just a giant game of tag... with marshmallow and sock-throwing and yellow bandanas. If worn around the head or neck, the player is known to be a zombie, but for humans, the bandana is to be worn around the upper arm or upper leg. The Horde is the collective name for the zombie faction of the game, while the humans are known as the Resistance. 
This is my first game at Tech, and while I was slightly dismayed at getting turned on the first day of playing, I'm also fairly glad I was turned early, as now I can safely go to my classes unarmed, rather than being escorted by several pairs of socks with which to protect myself. I'll update my game progress later in the week, and hopefully I'll be able to get another kill and make it to Friday without starving. To my fellow Horde members: Happy Hunting! To the Resistance: Run. Run fast. For we want your BRAINS!!!
