As you may have noticed, Justin and I did a bit of dabbling in fiction these last few days. It all started when I read a post on J’s Notes about “Blog Like It’s the End of the World Day.” It seemed like a fantastic idea as I never write fiction but always talk about how it would be fun.

So I penned up a plausible post and published it.

I forgot to tell people that it was fictional and got several comments, a few emails, and one or two phone calls wondering if I was OK or if we needed help. Anytime you can create a legitimate Orwellian stir I think you can consider it a success.

As the day went on Justin and I were chatting on the internets and we came up with the idea of him writing a post as if he were experiencing the same zombie uprising — but from his point of view. From there it was just a hop, skip, and, a jump to the final ten part alternating story arc.

I had a ton of fun participating in this cooperative narrative and I think we will do it again sometime but on a larger and longer scale (and not on Haduken). It should be fun. I hope y’all had as much fun reading it as we did writing it.

Word to your mothers.
