[ WP ] A cure for the zombie virus has been found , however all ex-zombies remember everything that happened when they were infected .

They sat in a circle at Zombies Anonymous, pasty faces all, waiting their turn to speak 
 
 `` I mean I *remember* distinctly when it happened... I was 14, inquisitive and full of life... I was reading a book - *Dorian Grey* - and I thought to myself... what would happen if I just sort of unfocused and *deliberately spaced out*. I felt guilty for even thinking to do that. I *knew* it was evil. But I thought it was harmless so maybe I could give it a go and see what choosing an evil action would be *like*. So I did. I just... stopped... *focusing*. I sort of turned off my conscious awareness. And from that moment on...'' 
 
 The man swallowed a rising gulp of anguish, but continued in a voice that threatened to crack. 
 
 ``... it was like I had betrayed myself. I was n't proud anymore, I could n't look at myself... so I stayed that way. On autopilot. For *twenty years*''. 
 
 A sob escaped. He continued, spluttering; 
 
 `` I stopped judging... I stopped caring... I married a girl I did n't love... and went through the motions... I gave up on my dreams and life was grey and not real to me. Like when you drive and suddenly find yourself arrived, and ca n't for hell remember your journey...'' 
 
 His pasty head morphed sadly into *'' The Scream'' * as the horror of his crime sunk in. 
 
 And he slumped off the chair, slamming his skull into paste on the cold tile floor.
