[ WP ] Write a zombie story that makes zombies terrifying .

You know, no one ever thought that Zombies **wouldn't** be dead. In every movie, book and tale they were dead come to life. In those stories, the zombies spread like disease, *were* effectively a disease. One bite and you soon joined their ranks. Now, I am not saying that being bitten by a Zombie is n't harmful. It is. Mouths are full of germs ( especially when you've been eating the flesh of your family and friends without brushing since.. well, since you became a Zombie ). A bite will make you quite ill, so certainly avoid that if you can. 
 
 No, the Zombies which have taken over the East Coast are very much alive. It's worse, when you think about it ( or come up against it ). They have their intelligence and critical thinking skills. They can open doors and climb through windows. They can drive cars and operate weaponry. The thing that they do not have is their conscience. To be more specific what they lack is restraint. Because restraint is bad for war. 
 
 The US army has always been experimenting with augmentation - biological, physical, psychological, anything really to gain an edge. Unfortunately for everyone the edge has been given to the Zombies. No one is exactly sure what happened of course. But the information leaked by army researchers involved suggests it was a side-discovery of efforts into sequestration. Alas, the scientists had faithfully attached resources into continuing research into this as well. Until their research discontinued them. Brutally. 
 
 What they did was to completely remove the part of humanity which governs our morality. Our self-control. Everyone has an imagination. For example, you're eating dinner with friends and notice that the wine glasses are so thin and delicate. My, imagine if muscular Steve was drinking and squeezed too hard. The glass could shatter and cut his throat. Maybe it even goes *down* his throat. 
 
 At this point, a Zombie would take that wine glass and shatter it as he shoved it down your throat. Because he thought it. 
 
 Importantly, these Zombies are *still human*. They do not even care to expand or kill. They simply *are* doing it. They seek a cure for themselves. They beg for it. They kill when desperation turns to anger. They are absolute chaos, taken in the shape of man. Zero predictability. Their actions slave to their synapses. Caged, but uncaged. 
 
 They are a terror and a plague a because a part of them still wishes to live. They are having children because at the very base of our animalistic nature we seek procreation. They are evolution's puppets, and through this they wreak havoc. We the unaffected feel pity for them. But we also fear them. For they are coming. They can not stop themselves. I have seen them cry as they kill, as they run children down in the streets. They are undetectable. You never know when one will simply decide to drive down to your town. They are everywhere. 
 
 They are outside my home.
