[ WP ] You were the last human on earth after the zombie apocalypse destroyed civilization . One day , you finally get infected by a zombie , but after turning , you realize what you 've been missing out on .

( FIXED THE FORMATTING YAY ) 
 
 I was surviving for a while before I finally got turned. Not sure how long, stopped keeping track of the time long ago, but it was a good while. When I finally got bit though it was a little anti-climactic. No epic fighting or one-off against a horde of zombies, didn ’ t get a chunk of my arm or leg removed by the jaw of an undead. I just scratched myself. It was an elementary mistake, one only those who died early made. Regardless, I had just made it and I knew I was done. Once you had any sort of open wound it wouldn ’ t be long until you were infected; the zombies turned you with their saliva, which after all this time was on basically everything. As soon as a drop got into your bloodstream you were a goner. 
 
 Went through the normal stages of the turning process: general lethargy, bloatedness, other small microbes eating at your flesh as you rot slowly. It didn ’ t hurt at all, as they only ate at the parts of you that were dead already, although I expected all of this after watching everyone turn. What I didn ’ t expect was how I ’ d feel about the whole thing. 
 
 It might be the fact that my nervous system is slowly dying and freaking the fuck out, but I feel awesome. The best guess as to the cause would be either the infectious agent causes a huge release of endorphins, or it acts like an agonist similar to many addictive drugs that give you a high, which is actually a perfect description to how I feel. I feel like I ’ m on a perpetual high and have risen above the constraints of mortality. Like there is nothing I need to care about, and that I could do anything I wanted. Although I guess that feeling made sense. After all, there were no more humans around as far as I knew, and as a zombie it wasn ’ t like I had any priorities or jobs I needed to do or be worried about. 
 
 Movement is getting harder, I don ’ t think I could raise my arms above my head at this point, but I honestly couldn ’ t care less. As I walk around I notice things I haven ’ t noticed about the zombies I was fighting from before. They don ’ t look that ugly, believe it or not. And most seem to still be able to do some rudimentary cognitive functions. How did I not notice these things before? I swear they used to just look like mindless idiots that hobbled around. I guess I just didn ’ t have the perspective. 
 
 I believe one smiled at me, how nice of him. I smile back. Being a zombie wasn ’ t as bad as I thought it would be. I thought I ’ d lose all use of my own mind, that I ’ d basically be a shell that could walk around and do useless things. But I ’ m not. I ’ m having trouble walking, but I ’ m not. I ’ m free, and I can do whatever I want. My movements may be somewhat constrained, but that ’ s alright. 
 
 I laugh to myself at the idiocy of my old views. I hear other zombies around me laugh too. Everyone ’ s voice sounds different though, probably because of the bacteria eating away at their vocal chords. I wonder if that ’ s the moaning sound I heard a lot of zombies make before. I laugh again to myself at the stupidness of my old views. I was an idiot. Being a zombie wasn ’ t bad at all. I have nothing I need to worry about. 
 
 Being a zombie is fun. I don ’ t think I can bend one of my legs but that ’ s okay. I don ’ t need to care about anything anymore, and there ’ s nothing to be scared of anymore. I can do whatever I want. I can ’ t move much, but that ’ s okay. I can do whatever I want. I laugh to myself. I was stupid. 
 
 I can do whatever I want. I see other zombies. I should follow them. They have a good idea what to do. They don ’ t have to worry about things. I don ’ t have to worry about things. Being a zombie is fun. I feel happy. I laugh. 
 
 I see other zombies. I should follow them. Being a zombie is fun. I ’ m happy. I laugh.
