I'm getting sick and tired of all this suffering, everywhere I go. The streets lined with garbage, the vile stench of death. This place is not what it used to be. It at least used to be livable, but now there's only death, death and misery. I lie awake at night listening to the screams of the tormented. Wondering how it could've gotten this bad. I was walking through town until a middle-aged  man with a beer belly pinned me against a building. He looked desperate and dirty. As his cries for food went through my ears, he would repeated shriek "Food..Food. Do you have food? Pain. Pain. There's nothing left but pain." I threw him off me and kicked him in the gut. Hoping that he'd stay down. My hopes ended when he grabbed my ankle shrieking louder "FOOD.. FOOD. WHERE IS THE FOOD? Pain. Pain. Pain. I can't feel nothing but pain" I took a good look at him. He was already becoming more and more corrupted. He wouldn't let go of me.  He continued shrieking;I grabbed the bat that i carry around with me and hit him along side his head leaving him laying there looking like a rag doll. I ran quickly back to my apartment.

We like to think the ones who get corrupted are like zombies, because they'd do anything for food. Including eating someone. I like to call them "The Corrupted" because what they are, twisted and vile and rotting as their mind goes to complete shit. Just like everything else in this fore-shaken place, it's all going to hell.

He's not the only one who was corrupted. I was corrupted once, when I was 13 in the middle of the summer as the heat waves continue to get hotter. And not the hot that you go like "Eh, it's not that hot" But the hot that's like" Holy Fuck my very soul is on fire"  . Well I got lost the woods, not knowing the landscape or to how i was supposed to get back. I was stranded there without food or water. I gave way to madness, I became a corrupted. I would be walking aimlessly trying to get back when I  came across a dead body. And without reason I began to eat it. Tearing into the rotting flesh, eating intestines,and every part of him until there was nothing but bone. I would've stayed like that and died

If it hadn't been for Grace and her Dad who found me..
