ZOMBIES!!!!!!

OK so yesterday I promised a post about the zombie apocalypse, this morning I woke up with my mind bursting with a plot for said zombie apocalypse, so now I'm writing a story on that, call it a relief project. Thus far I have seven main characters, four of whom sadly must die, but three will definitely survive. Of course, following my normal incomplete process, I only have names for six of the seven characters... But that's beside the point unless any of you have a strong female name I can use?

But anyway, some of you have heard the theory i have jokingly proposed in conversations about zombies, where the first stop is a gun store, followed by a hardware warehouse, and then to Costco. Really it would be a pretty good way to live it out as long as you have a large enough group of people to grab all the guns and ammo, then send one group to secure Costco and another larger one to procure supplies from the hardware store to reinforce the doors and generators for more power. Of course, this is all well and good, but I'm not going to let my characters have it that easy at all }:-> I hate to put them in a mall, as it's really a seriously clichéd place to hide out, but that's where they may end up, school is out of the question, too many windows, not enough cover, and almost impossible to barricade, warehouse is good, but like I said too easy. So now it probably is a mall unless I have a sudden flash about somewhere better, military base maybe, that one'll let me have soldier zombies =D But anyway, I still need one more name, Kelly was suggested, but it doesn't quite feel right, not sure what will, but I'm still developing her backstory so maybe she'll give me her own name.

Until next time, hehe converting aspects of one's friends into archetypes is fun *sly smile*

*EDIT: Okay since first posting this people have also suggested Kait and Norah, I like both the names, but can't justify creating another female character. I have four guys, and three girls, which works out well in terms of pairing, as one guy must be the one desiring a girl who desires the emotionally unavailable guy. hmm, guess at this point I'm still working on a backstory for all of them, which likely no one but myself will ever see*

*EDIT #2: Alright I've started writing, currently I'm about 1300 words in, not as far as I had hoped to get this weekend, but the weather demanded friends and the beach, so who am I to deny such impulses? Anyway, at this point, they aren't zombies but people who I think I'll be calling The Infected. Also as much as I didn't want to put them in a mall, it's really the only thing that's gonna work out with my current plotline, but a decent chunk of the story is leading up to the mall scenes, so it's not a "Hey we're running from zombies, look we're in a mall, oh hey there's stuff to fight with, oh no they're getting in, oh damn we're fucked" kind of book. Hopefully it'll be pretty established what's happened by the time they're blocked off, other than that, y'all will have to wait a bit and see what is actually going to happen to each character ;) one last little tidbit though, when I finally get this done and sent out, getting attached to any one character may make you said }>:-) hehehe, I'm so mean to my characters sometimes...*
