Memories of the dead

Desertion

They attacked as the night fell
Images show of walkers in the streets and rising out of their graves
They invaded our homes they fed on us and the ones we held dear
Images show of a walker eating an arm
Within days they had taken over the places we spent most of our days at
Images show of walkers staggering outside of a cinema and then outside a shopping centre and then outside a school
They outnumbered us knocking us to the hard bottom of the food chain
A walker horde staggers through Atlanta
They forced us into world without establishment and consumerism a world without morals a world
Walkers press up against a window of house as cracks start to form
A world of the dead
Compassion, mercy what are they the mere concept is it something we are born with or is it something we gain either way
Howard slowly opens his eyes as blood drips down the side of his head
in events such as these
He looks over to see 3 men dressed in olive green army clothes sitting around a fire with their m16s on a bench next to them
Howard.ow what

He grabs his m16 and walks over to the tree Howard was tied to

This is what humanity had turned into with those who where left being nothing but sick maniacs sure in the very short line of people left there may be 1 or 2 decent people but was there ever anyone decent with life most of us are expected to succeed and never to question why we have to be another in the masses of society. Have we ever changed are these undead beings just another extension of us or is our reign through though my personal option on this matter I think that humanity was always in a zombified state so meddled up in our technology and our own state of affairs or maybe I'm just rambling but it was only after the return of these undead ghouls that we had to put aside our now useless phones and computers and now we had to finally start living in the real world
