Arena/Hospital Theory - the re-visit *Potential Spoilers*

Yeah, the voodoo zombie is based on what you mentioned above. Sounds like you may be referring to the book, The Serpent and the Rainbow, or one like it? Yep, that was definitely the occult yet there was a natural explanation behind it.

Personally, as I am listening to the story, I picture the outbreak having some sort of natural cause and Ink is an occultist who is taking advantage of his unique response to the infection. That is, he is somehow not affected the same way or as fully as other zombies (smart people become smart zombies, psychologically disturbed people become strange zombies.) Someone wrote that she thought perhaps Ink was not really insane but was under the influence of some intelligence that directed him to ground zero. And, this intelligence's influence manifested itself as hallucinations of a cult-like nature, which could explain Ink's tattoo choices. This sounds clever to me, but I'm almost ALWAYS wrong on here.

I can't wait to see where KC takes this. Also, please don't apologize for anything you think up. That's what the forum is here for. What do you think?

those who were revived/woken up after being affected by the drug tetrodotoxin and used as mindless slaves by witch doctors many years ago?

I don't know what you're talking about.
