In mortal twist of fates, some undead now fear the living


They have been eating human flesh for days, but some of the undead at Utah State University argue zombies are the true victims.

“I’ve been running from humans all day,” said George Eager, a zombie. “They get together in groups and just start shooting at you. It’s pretty terrifying.”

Using guns and grenades to arm themselves, humans are teaming up with each other to hunt the zombies.

“They are ruthless,”  former human Chase Ward said. “I used to be one of them. I know how they think. As soon as they see one of us they grab their weapons even if we are nowhere near them.”

Ashley Angus, one of the living combatants, travels with other humans in case of an assault.

“It’s just easier for us to travel in groups,” Angus said. “When we see a zombie we know at least one of us will be able to get him.”

While Angus feels it is advantageous to stick together, Ward thinks it is unfair.

“None of us asked for this,” Ward said. “I would give anything to have my mortality back. At least the humans still have something worth fighting for.”
