Bill "Ink" Roberts theory (not what you think)

[Jay013]

While re-listening to the entire show for the past week and a half, I realized something. Back in season one, Bill Roberts was sent to the hospital, the MENTAL hospital. He was diagnosed with severe schizophrenia. Here's where my theory kicks in.

What if none of this is real? The riot started right after "Ink" was sent to the mental hospital. We know that he's relevant to the story somehow, otherwise, he wouldn't have been mentioned in the news report. What if when "Ink" was sent to the mental hospital, he couldn't handle the event, and so his schizophrenia took over and allowed him to cope. What if the first biter, all the zombies, the big ones, TOWM, pinstripes, the numbered ones...What if they are just figures of his hallucinations? Actually, it makes even more sense. Pinstripes, TOWM, and Skittle's Coloured one all act like the main leader of the creatures. If it is Bill, he would be the one to take those roles as the fantasy revolves around him. It's his world.

Take it even further, Everyone from the Tower, the other Tower, the mallers, the Colonists, Irwin, Boulder, all the human characters have one thing in common. They all talk.

Schizophrenia causes both visual and auditory hallucinations. When we put our earphones in, we listen to the voices. If you had schizophrenia, you would hear voices in your head. We're Alive is a radio show, a very well done radio show. It easily disguises the second meaning of the story.

To sum it up, the We're Alive universe was created by Bill Roberts in a schizophrenic fit. It's in the form of a radio show so that it is as if we're "Ink" listening to the voices in his head.

Thoughts?
