Apocalypse sooner or later If you, like many Americans, have a brain, then you’re definitely at risk of being attacked by zombies, when the Zombie Apocalypse starts. And that could happen any day now, as far as you know. Laugh now if you want, but you won’t be laughing when you’re holed up in an abandoned prison in Georgia with Rick and Daryl. If you, like many Americans, believe zombies aren’t real, then you definitely haven’t been getting the emails I have.
