Author's Note

Originally I actually had quite a few about the zombie apocalypse, but decided to limit myself to just one. I apologize for the incredibly lame pun on #7, and just kill any merit it might have had I'll explain it now; Sarkozy is the French president, his party is the UMP. I'm most proud of the second to last one.
I will be adding more.
