It is with great sad­ness that I must announce that the plague has reached Ottawa. I repeat: the national cap­i­tal is no longer an epidemic-free area. Con­trary to pop­u­lar beliefs, zom­bies do sur­vive in the cold.

When I entered Mac­don­ald Gar­dens Park, imme­di­ately real­ized we were in trou­ble. Unfor­tu­nately, I didn’t have any weapon to fight back and I was forced to hide behind my cam­era.  Some zom­bies spot­ted me. How­ever, my French blood is full of blue cheese and this very un-Canadian taste seemed to repel them at first.

Soon, a long horde of newly-deads, includ­ing Colonel Khadafy, marched down Saint Patrick Street, block­ing the traf­fic and scar­ing passer-by. Ottawa cit­i­zens stood no chance against the zom­bies, lurch­ing and groan­ing for brains. The police could barely con­tain the mad­ness. I stood on the side, try­ing to doc­u­ment the apoc­a­lyp­tic inva­sion. I risked my life for these pictures.

I don’t think I was con­t­a­m­i­nated. Yet I’m hun­gry too. For brains… juicy brains…
