Undead Ahead

Cold wind nipped at my skin as I wandered down the desolate streets of the place I once called home. Baltimore was now nothing more than a graveyard for the living dead or whatever you want to call them. Bodies littered the streets, leaving a foul stench.
I had walked for miles in search of food and civilization and had found neither. I was starving and I hadn’t seen a person who wasn’t one of the living dead in months. I hadn’t seen a single person since the day my boyfriend Matt was killed by one of the corpses. Tears began to fall down my cheeks as I thought of Matt.

We had been out in search of food and weapons and I had thought we had hit a gold mine when we came across an abandoned gas station. There were no corpses in sight and I had thought we were perfectly safe. I had made Matt wait outside and keep watch whilst I had went inside to grab whatever I could find. I was right about the place being a gold mine and I grabbed whatever I could fit in the rug sack I had on my back before running back outside to get Matt but by the time I was out a corpse had snuck up on Matt who hadn’t been paying attention. I had tried to scream to get Matt’s attention but it had been useless, the corpse had already sunk its teeth into Matt’s neck. Matt’s pained scream was the last thing I heard before I had jammed my knife into the corpse’s skull. Obviously I had to kill Matt too before he became one of them but I would really rather not think about that, so I don’t.

Tears had soaked my skin at the thought of that day and feeling totally helpless and hopeless, I collapsed to the ground and waited for a corpse to hopefully find me some time soon. I just couldn’t carry on alone anymore. I would probably starve to death soon anyway so why not make it quick? And with that thought I shut my eyes and waited for sleep and a corpse to find me.

Notes
