In my job as a reporter, I’ll often ask a colleague how a particular alderman or state senator—who seems so dense that he’d be hard-pressed to remember where his penis is located each time he has to urinate—has managed to rise to a position of power in city or state government. It’s not uncommon for the response to involve a knowing wink and a jocular “Him? Let’s just say he knows where the bodies are buried.”

Zombies, though, are the bodies that are buried. When a zombie outbreak happens and the dead reanimate, where bodies are buried ceases to be classified knowledge. It ceases to be a source of power. Everybody can see where the bodies are buried—or, perhaps more accurately, were buried—because they’re climbing out of the ground and coming to eat you.

Following Maria down these twisting side streets and alleys of the south side, I am terrified, exhausted, and—if I’m being honest—a little turned on. But I’m also aware of a world around me that has changed forever. The bodies are no longer buried. The laws—at the least the old ones—are no longer in effect. Even the back alleys know that things are different. Even the dumpsters riddled with bullet holes and gang graffiti seem to have got the idea. This is a different world. A new one. Though thousands of people have passed through these darkened side streets, we’re the first to be traversing them in a zombie apocalypse. Things have started over again. This is the year 1 A. Z. Anno Zombi.

Maria and I are explorers in a new world. Who knows what we will find in it?
