writing zombies

rn im writing a zombie story. overdone, i know.

but im making my infection act and seem like rabies. is that cool?? idk wtv.

BUT i never knew how scary rabies is. like wdym get hallucinations?? aggression?? and its burns?? then it also matters how close the bite is to your brain?? AND once you have it? your fucked. your dead. good god ts is scary.

but i think it would make a interesting zombie story because of how it appears. they would brush it off until the people aren't dying. it can also take some time for symptoms to even appear, making the spread that much scarier. 

in my story im making the official name be anthropophagi disease, because of how it appears in the later stages.

by stages 4 the infected begin having a craving for meat, live meat, raw, human. anthropophagi means "cannibal" in latin!
