Dear Samhain....

It had been some centuries ago when the aera of zombies started.

No one clearly knows how it all began, no wonder if you know how zombies are, they are not the brightest match in the box. Mostly they care just about filling their bellies with tasty human meat.
If it concerns anything else, their mental capacity is quite lacking.

But there are some theories, most can be taken aside as nonsense.

Like the one about humans multiplied so much that they started cannibalism again and somehow a part of humanity turned into zombity.
Or that it was the next step of evolution...
Or that human was the only animal on the planet that had no natural predator who really could control their numbers, so evolution/mother nature/god invented the zombies to do a cleaning swipe...

Well we will never know what exactly happened.

But it is astounding how big a society can grow with the brain standard of a zombie.

Zombie history tells how it was in the beginning..free roaming humans everywhere, billions of them frolicking in the pasture, in cities, in the oceans and the mountains.

Humans really were everywhere and when you wanted a snack you just could hunt one down.
At first eating humans still was a dangerous business because humans were agressive, fiercy creatures and they were very high in numbers, higher than zombies, naturally.

But thanks to evolution and the survival of the species,zombies used their mindless brain for the only thing they cared for...very efficiently..brains.

All that brain eating and the healthy cholesterol and saturated fats they got from their food, seems to have had at least a bit of an impact on the mind of the zombies.
Or it was the couple of scientists that underwent zombification that had something to do with it..who knows, no one..and zombies aren´t really that interested in history..or other stuff.

Just food and stuff..stuff concerning food.


So zombies started to work together in groups, not just as brainless, braineating mass..maybe eating the brains of the zombies to be, had been the problems with the low intelligence...

But then something changed and  zombies started working together, really working together, hunting in packs, using traps and weapons and the internet, luring their prey to dates, to parties, underground discos and such things..


All was well for a while, the zombies could eat well and it seemed some of them gained more brain than others and ...

They needed the brain in the end, because the numbers of humans dwindled.
For some time the zombies helped themselves to the billions of farmed animals, but humans were the most tasty animal, unfortunately...a wild species, not a domestic one...and one with a real bad reproduction rate.


Hunger is quite a driving force, especially for zombies.

And ...factory farming really was an inspiration..so to get enough food, zombies got more intelligent, not by much, mind you.

It was hard on the food driven mind to spare the tasty morsels and not take a bite or two out of them.
Yes, zombies evolved and only turned some people on purpose, the most intelligent of them...they could smell that you know...

And with  the scientists turned zombie, it really made a jump, the evolution of zombie.

Genetical engineering was a human given gift, ironically to engineer humans ..not for their own gain, but for making better humans to feed zombies better.

And there was much work ahead for the zombies.

With all the hard work in the first century of zombiekind, some centuries later the zombies could enjoy the fruits of the hard labour of their forezombies.


Now it was hard for zombies to imagine that it was once really dangerous business to get human meat on the table, or that their ancestors ate like humans..with their face and teeth, ...so uncivilised.

Nowadays it was so easy to get food. Sure you couldn´t walk around all day and moan, you had to work to get that meat, but it was much easier than in the beginnins.

It wasn´t just the lack of brain activity that made it hard for zombies to imagine that humans were once wild, dangerous beasts that killed millions their kind..and billions of their own kind, all that wasted, delicious meat.

Today you just walk into the supermarket and get what you desire...well, zombies still desired brain most, but brain was only a small percentage of a carcass and as such a delicacy.

But a nice rack of rips or a fleshy tight was also nice and everyone was satisfied, there was no hunger, for most.

The most controlled of zombies worked on the human farms, you couldn´t have the staff eating all your breeding material or the unripe offspring, really not..


Zombie scientists hadn´t had a hard time to engineer humans to their liking..and they could eat all the failures..delish.


Because human scientists already had made an effort to decode human gens and what was influenced by which gens, the zombies just had to try and pick a bit before they started to perfect humankind.

Humans turned fertil earlier and earlier..that wasn´t really hard.
They also knocked out some gens concerning the controll of hunger, or the gen that controlled the growth of muscles.
The belgians were the first where they had a stable number of individuals that could be breed with more muscle mass..more muscles meant more meat.

Oh they are real beauties..muscles over muscles, nearly no fat, unfortunally.
Fortunally all that bulging muscles made it hard for the humans to move or all those muscles could have been a danger to zombies.
But those moving mountain of muscles could do barely more than stomp slowly around.
The muscles grew without working the humans out, a big plus because you needed less space to keep them and because the gen for muscles growth control was knocked out, they even needed less food than  the average human to grow.


You know why zombies craved brain so much? Because of the tasty, healthy cholesterol.
Brain is 90% cholesterol, zombies need that...really need that, they crave it.
Unfortunally the muscle mammoths were too lean to be a staple food.

So there came the next breed of humans, the one that was always hungry..luckily the genetic disposition that made them always hungry also made it so, that they needed even less food than the muscle mammoths to grow.
Their body just stored fat en mass and with a little snip there and a bit more here, their bodies were manipulated into producing even more healthy, delicious saturated fat and cholesterol.


For humans that was bad...all the muscles, or that fat and high cholesterol levels took their health down, but that wasn´t a concern, humans barely lived beyond 20 years and that was a real old human, so they thankfully died healthy and young and not suffered from old age and the aliments that came with it.


And they had all the food they could have want..and sunlight, because sunlight was important.
Thankfully humans were a herbivore species, otherwise feeding all the billions of humans would have been a real hassle.


Zombies lowered the breeding age from the average 14 years down to 10.
Multible births were normal. In the beginning they had to harvest egg cells and fertilize them and clone them so they could meet their needs for more humans, but soon they had solved that too.

Sure, there was still cloned meat on the market, but only from cloned offspring that had reproduced.
Cloned humans were too precious to just eat them because they still engineered humans to be better than before.


So now there were the queens, females with modified bodies that carried at least 4 young.
They still belonged to the fat breed of humans, but all the child bearing and raising them took a lot of calories and bodyfat so they were much leaner and could be inseminated succesfully.

Breeding them so early also helped, when they were still leaner.
To get more teets also wasn´t too hard, it was quite easy because it was still in the genetic make up of humans.

The better breeding mares had up to 12 sucklings. Unfortunally they couldn´t get more than 8 teets on a human female, so they arranged some sucklings to other breeding mares with less offspring.


Nursing them as long as possible surely would have been best for the growth of the offspring.
But it also hindered the fertility of the mares.

Luckily male humans also had teets and with a hormon cocktail and some training sucktion by machines, they could milk the males too and wean the sucklings from their mothers, feeding them with the dairy from the males.

Unfortunately most males weren´t good with the sucklings directly taking the milk, so they had to be in a harness and milked and the milk went into a system of pipes and tanks so the sucklings could get milk  from artificial teets in the nursing station.

Meat humans were harvested at the age of 10 years, but the ones who delivered all the tasty fat lived longer and were good dairy humans.
This is how zombies got a taste for dairy and also took on drinking it for the extra cholesterol and such...it was easier to harvest than the meat and satisfied some cravings.

What is good for sucklings, can´t be bad for zombies.

The cholesterol humans were harvested with a maximum of 15 years and started producing dairy at 10.

The ones who weren´t needed for producing young or for feeding them, were slaughtered earlier because their meat was tastier so young.

The muscle  mammoth females were not usefull for breeding unfortunately.
They grew as fast as their male counterpart and all those muscles limited the space for the offspring and also made a cesarian a necessarity. Quite a hassle for one young.

So some muscle females and males were kept as breeding stock, to harvest sperm and eggs and fertilize and split the cell mass to get more embryos.
The others were eaten, only the best stock was kept for their genetic material. At least for a while, until they were beyong their prime at 20.

The fertilised eggs were planted into the breeding mares, they also had been modified enough to even birth the overmuscled, very big offspring without any operation.

But those were not the only humanbreeds.

Believe it or not, some zombies took on pets.
Dwarf humans with and without fur were da bomb..and the most long lived breed..an in the dwarf breed you had different colours..but you also got them with modifications.
Because humans still had the urge to run away or sometimes fight against their owners.
And it made them more happy and healthy to have some parts cut off.
Humans without hands and feet were slower and more docile..and happy, less agressive.


Sure, the scientists had been able to decode the sequence for a more docile behaviour and less agression, but humans were still animals and could only be engineered to a certain level.

With the breeding mares and the smaller offspring even more sucklings could be won from one breeding.
24 had been the highest number until now.

But you also could have the dwarfs  modified, like if you wanted to raise your own meat, or when your pet died you could harvest it...and let´s be fair..a pet that lives too long is boring. Who wants the same pet every day for years?
So most dwarf cross breeds didn´t live longer than their big counterpart and made a nice family zombie-holiday dinner...
Most zombies didn´t want the long lived variety, but some did still because they said they tasted better than their fast grown counterpart.

Funny how a zombie society could evolve, but that was it, evolution.
There was even a vegan zombie movement where they spouted some crap about humans and their intelligence and feelings and the right to be treated well.

It was a quite short lived movement that died out after half a century when all the vegan zombies died off.
Unfortunately, cholesterol was an essential nutrient together with the other good stuff in meat like taurin and B12.
Zombies never evolved to produce their own cholesterol, this is why they were so crazy about brains. They needed it from their outside source.

And so there was never a chance for humans to live a humane life again, other than what zombies deemed humane.

The end?~

Something that went through my mind...full moon and such.

Oh before I forget it, I will sort through the blog and tear some stuff down I am no longer satisfied with and recreate it, so don´t you wonder  where the material went.

But if you want some old stuff, just ask me.
