There are many films about epidemic viruses that transform human beings into monstrous entities. The scenes of murderous zombies who, with their disfigured bodies, move in search of individuals to contaminate or suppress are quite typical in horror cinema. In ordinary reality, however, these levels have never been reached.
But are we really sure? Are we sure that zombies or other terrifying creatures must necessarily have a monstrous physical appearance? What if this virus managed to keep them in normal conditions, even giving them a lot of charm, to allow them to contaminate much more people?
Well, after having witnessed many events that have recently taken place in the world, and especially among the people who have occupied the Italian peninsula, I am wondering just this. Am I one of the few survivors of an epidemic that has turned most of the population into zombies? Or am I an unconscious zombie myself? Am I still alive or not?
