Saturday afternoon, beside the Tennis House in prospect park gathered worried citizens of New York.  Worried of coarse by the overwhelming threat of a ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!!!  Zombie Apocalypse Preparation (or ZAP) holds seminars on being prepared for the struggle for survival after the walking dead virus spreads over the earth.  We were all given survival brown paper bags with the essentials to survival: A shoe lace, 1 band aid, experimental emergency zombie curative serum, and 2 condoms.   Todays seminar included identifying the zombie, deciding to fight or run, and enduring through scarce food and impending doom.  Useful skills were demonstrated for us, like how to capture a zombie with a decoy brain, or knot tying.  We began to learn about ZAPs’ labs in Switzerland in which their scientists have developed a curative serum, when the virus began to break out.  The man next to me was bitten on the neck and bled out until he rose to feed.  Others became infected upon being scratched and bitten, as those still with their wits used the serum to stop the infection and save the day.  The group reconvened by the first aid table as everyone patched up and had a good laugh, maybe next time we won’t be so lucky!
