sadIt had taken six of the Valium pills John kept hidden at the back of the medicine cabinet, but Alexander Kellis was finally ready. He checked the knot on his rope one more time. It was good; it would hold. Maybe it wasn't elegant, but he didn't deserve elegant, did he? He destroyed the world. Children would curse his name for generations, assuming there were any generations yet to come. John was gone, forever. It was over.
"I'll see you soon, sweetheart," he whispered, and stepped off the edge of his desk. No one would find his body for weeks. If he reanimated, he starved without harming anyone. Alexander Kellis never harmed anyone.
Not on purpose.

After I recovered from the BAWWWWW POOR ALEXANDER WHY WHYYYYY, I began to think about his death.
I wondered why Alexander didn't shoot himself in the head to make sure he didn't reanimate?
My first thought was that gay men don't always follow the cultural picture of what is "manly", and he wasn't doing it to prove anything to anybody. He'd already told off Brandon the boob.
But then it occurred to me that maybe he didn't shoot himself in the head because he left himself to science in his suicide note, so that when anyone found him, they'd just be able to wrap up his weak, starving zombie self, tuck it in a truck, and ship it off to some lab somewhere to help find a cure.
