THE WORLD HAD finally decided to take itself out, the god humanity believed in had taken the chance to wipe out the population to restart a new, that's what it felt like but what new would come out of it. people were touch starved, what they wanted yet would never achieve in getting because that's what life came to be. not only was it a race against time, against what had become of the earths crust the rest of the survivors roamed on but that it was a common battle ground. trust, the word trust didn't sound real, it sounded gibberish. and trusting someone, maybe someone you've known forever or you've only just gotten to know could be the wrong end of the stick for you.
the streets, the vibrant, bloomed streets that once felt like a constant rave, the fireworks of celebrations and the ceremonies, the marriages to show the world just how strong love could be. people, there were people. people who got on with their day to day life. people who had purposes, people who were classed as celebrities and others.. not so much.
when you lose something, or maybe even someone. you don't lose them, they're still there but you gain from it, you gain something after losing a part of you.
some people don't have the strength to think like that, they couldn't even take time to realise that something was stuck, clinging themselves to their grounded bodies after a loss. that's what made so many people weak, people who couldn't live with it just had to suffer the exact same way. that's what lead most people to believe that an apocalyptic world, like this one had become, it wasn't meant for everyone. and the very few that could live with it, who had the strength had to fight for their lives. no way would we be talking not only fighting the dead but their alive counterparts. greedy for what's left of the earth to give. they don't want to share.
killing someone, someone they had no recognition of wouldn't stop them, even so some people had a change of heart, not having one slice of sympathy left in their heart to just consider a different possibility. the possibility that you didn't have to kill the living in order to get what you want but to take advantage of others who were still healthy and alive just as someones self. why humanity were fighting one another as if the dead hadn't rose. the most efficient way to go about this was to fight the dead and fear the living. fear the people around you more than the dead themselves.
the outbreak hadn't been out for long, a month maybe, no one could take up their time of day/night to know what the specific time was. everyone was focused on surviving, gathering up supplies, just anything useful you could get your hands on before anyone else would. such as lurking wild animals, those creatures being used for good meals. noting that most farm animals human's used to butcher were now the meals for the dead. and yeah, the wild animals were too but it was the fact farm animals were in compacted places. they weren't wild, they were secluded into little barns and whatnot. the so called cannibal eating monsters, it wouldn't be long before they'd gobbled the poor animals up until they were nothing but bones.
