The End of the World

I'm back to the office, but something very strange occurred tonight. I thought I was starting to wrap my brain around these creatures. Or at least starting to realize that there is more to them then mindless destruction. But....

I decided once I left earlier these evening that I'd go over to the grocery store again. As I've come to realize they seem to be creatures of habit, and that is where I first realized communication seems possible. Just as I assumed my two zombie friends who I saw only a few days were at the grocery store again. Only as I snuck out of the shadows from across the street avoiding direct contact with the few zombies wandering the streets, I saw through the grocery store windows that those two same zombies were mindlessly tearing the grocery store apart.

They were knocking the food off the shelves and tearing the posters and signs off the walls and just generally trashing the place.

I panicked slightly as I realized a lot of my potential food source was being destroyed, and I too quickly came into the open which caught there attention. I had no problem at all getting away. As I've mentioned several times they are very slow, and they were inside while I was outside. In some way it turned into a blessing, as I lead them away from the store and double backed so I could load up on all the non perishable food I could carry.

But it's not the close call that bothers me. It's the fact that they were acting mindlessly again. Just destroying things for the sake of destroying things. Half the time it seems that they move with purpose the other half of the time they appear to be mindless. It's maddening. And I have to think upon it for awhile.
