Walking out of the train station on my way home from work, I watched all the people around me (including myself), walk out to their usual parking spots, following the daily routine of work.
Taking a cue from Romero's notion that the undead returned to a place they were familiar with, I started wondering - how long would some lingering, habitual behavior in life hold on into the daily routine of the undead? Of course, until the desire to feed overwhelmed any trace of human life in the poor soul.
Would it vary depending on the length and depth of the entrenched habit? Say, someone who has taken the same way to work, worked in the same cubicle, retraced their steps daily for 15-20 years, would be much more prone to somehow repeat that behavior for a time after turning?
