| James Kellmer willingly sacrificed himself to the zombie horde; he is now among the most prolific killers. |
He surrendered his life to the deadly zombie virus. As one of the few, he was trained by zombie generals and worked his way to leadership in the walking dead horde. He is both revered and feared by his friends.
And now, he's ascended to high leadership of the zombie horde.
Killing humans gives James Kellmer vigor — a vibrant life in a lifeless body.
On Thursday, the Lundstrom Student Living Center on Utah State’s campus housed over a hundred zombies and humans. That night, Kellmer became a super zombie and was promoted to the leader of both zombies and super zombies.
It was a well-deserved position, fellow zombies said, given his blood-thirsty dedication.
Kellmer killed 10 humans his first day as a zombie.
“If I see someone running, it’s a good sign they are human,” Kellmer said. “So I launch into a dead sprint after them.”
“James Kellmer is the fastest zombie here,” said human Aditya Chauhan.
His fearlessness attitude petrifies the humans and is helping to increase to moral of his fellow zombies.
Outside the Lundstrom center, Kellmer gathered a large group of zombies and, with flesh-torn arms slung over one another's rotting shoulders, they huddled close. On Kellmer's lead the group began to chant the words to "Hoist the Colors" in deep, unholy voices.
Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho,
thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.
When David Redd heard Kellmer was going to find him and kill him before the night attacks began, his human eyes opened wide.
“Knowing that he is a super zombie is going to be scary,” Redd said.
According to zombie general Dylan Jones, Kellmer has remained one of the top killers of the horde.
“He has been racking up kills ever since his first day as a zombie,” Jones said.
As zombies gathered around Kellmer for their killing instructions on Thursday night, he raised his fists in the air and, with human blood dripping off his lips, commanded them to slaughter all the humans.
Hearing his orders, and without hesitation, the soulless corpses lifted their arms to salute their leader.
“We’re going to strike fear into their hearts,” Kellmer said with a smile. “And their souls shall quiver.”
