Zoob

I ponder zombies. The physics they defy. Their experience as they break free and yet lack emotion to enjoy that freedom. Zombies are dead, but for being dead, they are a lively lot. More lively than viruses (which are questionably alive but are considered alive by certain individuals). Some think them dead because they cease growing. They so defy thermal dynamics. The energy they move under endless. When I looked at that I noticed something that seem far more startling than the other ponderings. They move with their stiffened muscles. When someone damages those muscles, the zombie's movement is hindered or made impossible. That is why in the case of modern zombies we do no see walking skeletons. I have observed something though at the same time that contradicts this. The severed hand. It has no muscles to pull from and yet it still grasp. How is this? The severed zombie hand transcends the zombies. It challenges nature in a way far more "reaching" than the zombies that spawned it.
