In the original Romero films the recently dead were rising all over the world for no apparent reason which would suggest an air born pathogen. In the later films and in the “Z War” book it’s a mysterious virus, probably man made of Chinese origin. Something that was tried and then buried then found again in the reservoir in China.

Fact is it could be anything we choose. We are creating fiction so enjoy it.

My take is that in this author’s version of a zombie infested world, something is in the air or is already in our bodies (presumably taken in through the air or some other means) but latent, only “awakening” upon our deaths. A zombie attack need not be the cause of death - dying of anything will trigger the reanimation process.

For the folks asking about “how did Chester rise”, or “why did Chester rise”, remember how much confusion would be likely in this setting. Not everyone would know exactly why Zack is up and walking around. So it seems likely that there’d be enough misinformation for myths to start. So it could be a case of an unreliable narrator. Which means that Chester might not have risen at all, the narrator may have just tripped over the corpse, and overreacted out of fear.

hey guys, its a good story and i dont think any one hsould judge, only critique… sure hoped i spelled that right, how stupid would i look?

Anyways, theres alot of diferent zombie theories and types, i comend anyone for thinking outside the box. ive had hundreds of ideas for storys, but even i cant steer away from the pop culture normality.

so kudos!

Ya good story man. I agree with Ninjain though, how did Chester reanimate when a bullet splattered his brain? I also wanted to know, why did it take 8 bullets to the BRAIN to drop Chester after the reanimation. Like I said earlier, the story was pretty good.

Wait, why did chester rise? You killed him by shooting his brains out, and he wasnt infected. So he couldnt rise if not infected then with no brains the zombie would be dead anyways. Other than that great story.
