America is especially sensitive to war weariness, and nothing brings backlash like the perception of defeat. I say โperceptionโ because America is a very all-or-nothing societyโฆ We like to know, and for everyone else to know, that our victory wasnโt uncontested, it was positively devastating.

Get up the staircase, then destroy it. 7. Get out of the car, get onto the bike. 8. Keep moving, keep low, keep quiet, keep alert! 9. No place is safe, only safer. 10.

Max BrooksThat's the thing about zombies. They don't adapt and they don't think. Literally, you could have a zombie on one side of a chain link fence and you could be on the other side and they could be trying to get to you and six feet down could be an open door and they will not go through that door in the fence. That's why they're so scary.
