The Last Hurrah: Zombies vs...

Yard gnomes!

In this, the last day of Zombie Month, Velvet, the grand master of Zombie Month, has tasked us with finding an opponent that zombies could womp with one hand tied behind their back. Or, as is more likely, one hand severed.

So I give you...



Gnomes have their own weapons



            

VS

You might say that this is an unfair match up, but yard gnomes aren't as helpless in this epic battle as you might think.

For one, they're ever vigilant, never even blinking as they keep watch over their turf.



Well, ever vigilant might be a stretch...



Second, they're always cheerful, and we all know how important it is to keep your spirits up during a zombocalypse.

Forget zombies, thsi guy will die from laughter.

Thirdly, they all come equipped with yard tools such as shovel, hoes, and pitchforks, the perfect weapons against the undead.

And lastly, the gnomes travel in packs; when have you ever seen just one yard gnome? Having back-up is vital!



This horde is looking a bit undead themselves.

Their weaknesses, however, out weigh their strengths. Firstly, they're rather stiff. Agility is key to surviving a zombie fight. They're also rather small and can't, for this reason, run very fast. In a zombie battle, the ability to run away is second only to the ability to keep your head (literally and metaphorically). And lastly, they're just not tough enough, and without nerve, you got nothing.

The innevitable end.



Happy Zombie Month, y'all! It's been a blast.
