The Inevitable Zombie Apocalypse!

ATTN potential Contributors.  The following is the dyszombie milieu.  This is “privileged” information, which means that you need to know it if you want to contribute, but your character will not necessarily know it.  (For what a Character knows outside of his or her own experiences, see the Field Report and the “Objective” History.)  Your writings must conform to these “physics”, at the very least, and of course, I will have to judge whether some other ascertainment which is not covered here is in or out of the milieu.  Again, cannibalism is outside of the milieu unless it is an uninfected person eating an uninfected person.  The dyszombie will never do something like that.  If you base your story on traditional understanding of zombies, it will not meet the standard for publication and will be rejected.

The accounts themselves are all in the first person (or a modified version of the third person, where the main character is merely the narrator and is relating a story he or she witnessed.)  Similarly, the writing doesn’t have to be perfect.  Few people who are writing for themselves, and fewer people who are writing for posterity, really make an effort to demonstrate that they care about spelling.
