From the beginning of
this whole thing, we have warned you that if you come across the zom you have
to take out the brain. That is the only way to put a zom down. Cut ‘em in half
and they will just keep crawling towards you. Now, when most people come across
a reanimated corpse, it is an adrenaline fueled smash fest where you are just
trying to put them down before they can bite you. And if there is a pack of these
things shambling towards you, you are just focused on taking as many of them
out as quickly as possible. Needless to say, this can sometimes be a violent
and bloody process.
This is just going to
be brutally honest. Janet and Ashlynn both died of their wounds. They bled out
and the second their hearts stopped beating, it was only a matter of time
before they reanimated and put us all in jeopardy. The clock was ticking but
there are some areas that you need to handle with finesse.
Even with this
lingering threat about to reanimate, the last thing we wanted to do was
traumatize the group even further by coming along and splattering her skull
under the weight of a sledge hammer.
So, if you are
dealing with this situation, keep in mind the following facts. The medulla
oblongata is often referred to as “the apricot” by police and military snipers.
It is the section that they aim for in a high-risk or instant-death hostage
situation. That “apricot” is the part of the brain that controls involuntary
movement and it is located at the base of the skull. There is a hole in the
back of the skull where the spinal cord enters the brain.
This was the solution
we came up with. Very gently, members of our group used an ice pick from off
the shelves. They inserted the ice picks into the skull through that spinal
cord hole without being overly traumatic to the body. So…
We did what we had to
do. We had some of the ladies distract Brad and Kim and then the team went to
work “pacifying” the bodies. The damage was very subtle but effective. Then, we
concealed the wounds as best as possible. This gave Kim and Brad time as much
time as they needed to spend with the body of their mother and it also allowed other
members of our group to properly say goodbye for their own closure.
So, this method works
if you need to preserve someone’s body after they have been infected. Maybe
that helps you. I don’t know. Just remember that the clock is ticking. Be fast
and be safe. Hopefully, you never, ever have to use this technique but store that
nugget of info away in your hard drive just in case…
