Today he is fresh as the bus moved he remembered the first time he landed in Tokyo. It was my dream and I have done it and now it is one year here. I am in Japan and I enjoyed every moment of it. Oh ! I have reached my school. John stepped out and entered the school as he approached the class he could feel the clamor of the students. He enjoys his job and being a teacher was a special experience. Japanese students have been pleasure to work with. In the beginning days, he was an alien to them, now they love and respect him immensely. He entered the class and hours passed it is getting afternoon. John left for lunch and as he returned school it was time for class. Time always runs fast in class and as 4 pm arrived John left the school. He walked to the bus stop and as waiting for bus he thought I lovely life is. My bus is here... he whispered. John climbed the bus and sat near window. Oh why everybody hushing, is something unusual going on? He enquired to the man beside... What a tsunami. John could find a shiver run through his spine. A tsunami...Good Lord what I am hearing. Is everything alright? Hmm. The tsunami has hit the coast and the nuclear reactors have been damaged. Is a radiation leak underway? Oh God I hope everything will be alright. Now all people are panicking, I am getting out of the bus and getting back to home. John got down and caught the bus back home and he was all sweating and nervous. Now what would happen? I love this place, is this all going to end up in to a disaster zone. John stepped in to his house and switched on the television to watch the news. How no... This is a huge tsunami and the effect is going to be bad. According to (King) “A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor. This sudden motion could be an earthquake, a powerful volcanic eruption, or an underwater landslide”. I had so many dreams of living here I love this beautiful city; I could never see it destroyed. Thank God I live little bit far away from the coast but I could still see the ocean if I walk a kilometer. Hmm. Let me have a look from terrace...John climbed to the terrace and all he could see is water logged beach with all trees and buildings collapsed. I wanted to call my friends but damn, the cell phones are dead. Hmm, it is getting dark and cold... as midnight approached John went to sleep. It is so windy; I can feel some noises around. John rose up and looked at the neighbor hood house and the lights are off and he could see loud noise and scream and as he watched suddenly he could see silence approaching. He slowly walked towards the house nearby... he saw the front door open. I know only a Japanese couple lives here... no one around... he stepped in. oh everything shattered and I could see drops of blood on the ground... oh some notes on the ground... what is in it? “We are the ghost hunters, and we need to feel our enemies with our own fists like they do in those kung fu films’. (A zombie hunter manifest) .Is it a poem...but...let me read more… I am not human, but I am neither dead...i am here for blood... John started shivering I can see another letter with same kind of poem... what is happening.Oh God I hear some foot steps...God why this man and women look so strange, their face all decayed and eyes bulging out... Blood dripping from their mouth. My God...They are coming towards me...Oh my Christ... these are zombies...but what happened suddenly...how it all happened. I have seen Japanese movie where zombies are women, here men too. God... “In several Japanese zombie films, women become the main heroines or villains”. (Matriarchy and the Gothic).Let me go to my room and get the revolver and shoot tem, John ran to his room and got the pistol and got back to destroy them. John aimed them at head and pulled the trigger and it straightaway killed them. How could he handle more of them if they appear? I have read somewhere about Japanese concept of zombies. “Zombies represent luminal figures, something between day and night, living and dead, humans and animals. In a Shinto sense, they are something between the polluted and the pure” (Shinto Zombies). Oh no... I still hear some footsteps... let me have a look. Oh I don’t believe this, there is a group of zombies coming this way. They look so scary and ghostly. It could be a group of more than 10 .What can I do? I know they can smell my blood. I am in utter danger, how to fight them. According to (Drezner)“From a public-policy perspective, zombies surely merit greater interest than other paranormal phenomena such as aliens, vampires, wizards, hobbits, mummies, werewolves, and superheroes”. Let me got my house. John ran to his home and closed the door. As he ran upstairs he was trembling. He can see some of them in his room...oh...what should I do...okay now I am going to use this technique. I know the brain is what keeps them alive. I will take my big Chinese knife and will cut their head apart. John ran to kitchen took hold of his knife. Then he got to the zombie and started splitting their head one by one. They all dead... but what about the group of zombies coming head... I can hear them banging on my door. What can I do now? As per (James)‘The undead are notoriously difficult to kill, the base reason being because they are already dead. In order to kill a zombie, then, you'll need to do some extensive damage to the thing that's keeping them alive. That thing is the brain”. Now I remember I have some cans of sulphuric acid stored in my store room. Let me get them and pour it on to their head. Let me rush... John took hold of the cans and as he reached the door the zombies entered the room one by one. I know I remember the brain is my target. As per (Henriksen) “To kill zombies, you need to destroy their brains”. John with all his might started splashing the acid over their head… For his surprise he could see their head melt off and brain melting down to their shoulders. He threw it on all of them and destroyed all. Oh now I am relieved.. I need to pack my bags and I am off from here. As the dawn approached john was walking to the bus stand with a sign of peace lingering on his face. Work Cited Drezner, Daniel W. "Night of the living wonks." http://www.foreignpolicy.com.
