It's a question I ask myself everyday, What if I ever fall
in zombies' hands? Will I fight with all of the energy I have left to live or
find a way to end my life right there? It's a challenge I put on Jake from Zombie Rain because he has lost his son
to them. Naturally, it probably was the best if he could end his life and be
with his son in the other world. Something has triggered inside his mind and
body that he had to live for his son. He had a tough life. All people he knew
died but he still fought to stay alive. All of it was for his son and soon Rex
was added to his list reasons to stay alive at every cost.
Jake had a couple of near-death experiences with zombies and
his desire to live was what saved him. Now, I'm putting myself in his shoes and
facing the same losses he had in his life. I have no idea how I was able to
live but in my head…I have a huge sense of adventure. I probably would do
anything to increase my strengths and knowledge in surviving. I would remain
hidden and make sure I was able to see everything around me. That means my back
would frequently be against the wall. That was probably the safest way to
escape if zombies appeared.
Now, if it were I as myself and not in anybody's head, I'd
probably survive differently. I'd make sure I gathered all of the weapons that
would protect myself from the flesh-eaters. The ideal weapons in my opinion
would be the metal with the ending that was sharp and/or crossbow since they
were quieter comparing to guns. Guns attracted attentions because it was loud.
Sure, guns were the fastest way to get rid of zombies as long as you shoot them
in their heads. Unfortunately, bullets were not returnable objects, while the
arrows were. I've learned that from watching my favorite television show: The Walking Dead. So, I'd grabbed
anything that was sharp enough to behead the zombies'. Swords are the best
example.
Would I be brave enough to kill zombie the minute I first
spot it? I don't think I'd have the guts to do that. I'd first think that they
might still be human somewhere inside that zombie head. Maybe the human was
fighting inside and hasn't yet given up.
That's why I have Jake being terrified of killing the zombies. He was very
restricting at the beginning but eventually understood it was best to put them to
rest. I have a feeling I'd react exactly the same way Jake did. I probably
would just run for my life and hide until zombies gave up and left me. The only
way I would end up killing them (or putting them to rest) is if they were on
top of me. It's the scariest of thoughts, no questions about it.
Rex, on other hand, was different. He followed his brother's
instruction and had no choice but to shoot the zombies in the head. Rex wanted to survive more than anything. If he didn't, he
wouldn't meet Jake. J
Blurb: Jake's world is torn apart when his son
dies, killed by a little girl who has infected him with a strange disease.
Soon, Jake's entire hometown is overtaken by the disease. A disease that turns
them into flesh-craving monsters. The combination of tragedy and horror is
almost more than Jake can take, but then he meets Rex, a man who has been
struggling through the horror in search of more survivors. The two men travel
together, searching for answers and other survivors, the growing bond between
them the only bright light in their dark world.
But then that light is
taken brutally away, and Jake is left struggling to find it again, fighting
against insurmountable odds and growing despair ...
