I started writing this four years ago when Zombie Apocalypse stories, TV shows, and movies were all the rage. The first post was in July of 2013, titled Day 42. The final post of the Day 42 series occurred in January of 2014 titled Day 53. After some consideration, I realized that Day 42 was … Continue reading The Nudist War 2017

Would real Zombies wear clothes? The answer could go either way. But depending on the circumstances surrounding the ‘Zombification‘, the answer could very easily be no. If the Zombification occurred to a hospitalized subject after a period of illness, the subject would be wearing at most a hospital gown. Anyone who has worn a hospital … Continue reading The Nudist?

So, what’s going on with Contrafactual? Basically, I’m getting serious about The Nudist War. I’m revising it with the intent of having something that would be in a better format to be publishable.

Guns, lots of guns Earlier this year I wrote a piece of satire titled ATF, a post-apocalyptic strategy based on the stockpiling of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms. Although satirical in nature, and intended to be humorous, there is much truth, I believe, in that essay.
One of the reasons that I am behind on the Day 42 series is that I am reading an engrossing old-school zombie novel titled Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse The Journal of Cleopatra Stevens Based on the number of “likes”, I appear to be the only one reading it.

I just finished the Unrated Cut of World War Z purchased from iTunes. I enjoyed it. It was, in my opinion a cut above most Zombie films, with elements of the medical disaster genre (eg.
