The Walking Humans

It was 2010, when I became one of them. I don't remember anything before I turned but I know I made the right choice joining this side. I have been told that we have successfully taken over, there are no more humans in the world. I don't know much more. Once you switch you lose memory from when you were on the other side. I travel with three others I don't remember who they are or why I am even with them. One of the others I travel with is a bit smaller then me, a male with dark brown hair. He looks like he once would of been my little brother.The other two are much larger, both adults, one looks female and one male, perhaps my parents. It's kinda hard to tell now and then because our bodies are rotting away by the minute. What I do know, is that ever since I turned I have had a major increase in appetite, not for any old food, but for flesh.

All we do is walk, and walk, and walk searching for a new target to give us some fresh meat. It gets a bit irritating when we don't find food, sometimes we have to go weeks on end without anything. Whenever that happens we usually settle for decaying meat on the side of the road. Thats one of the bad things about taking over the world is that there's not enough food to go around, so when we do find food others have usually found it before us. Then it turns into a fierce brawl over getting a bite.

Recently we have found a nice discovery, its an old run down building. I think the humans called it a prison. There are more of our kind here. There are rats and lots of dead bodies that never got the chance to turn and join our side. It's nice, we don't have to travel all the time. We can just sit back, relax, and let the food come to us. We stand not moving until we need to feed.

One day we were standing around minding our own business until I heard a loud noise coming from the south side of the so called, "prison". We all slowly turned in the direction of the noise. We started shuffling towards that side as one dark large cloud of rotting flesh. As we made our way there, there were even more sounds than any of us expected, they were quick loud bangs. One after another. As we grew closer I could smell something. It was something very familiar but i couldn't quite put my finger on it, until we turned the corner. Humans. A whole group of them, running around the prison gates with these contraptions in there hand that would take down one our kind with just a push of a button. There beautiful aroma got stronger the they got closer. It was the most wonderful smell in the entire world! I could practically taste their delicious juicy meat, I could feel my teeth slowly sinking in to their death filled corpse and ripping it out, and chewing slowly down on their lifeless little bodies that were still warm from life. Human meat wasn't actually that good we prefer dog meat it's more flavorful but they are harder to catch than humans and plus when you're this hungry and thing sounds good.

Something flew out and hit me in the shoulder quickly bringing me back from my trance and creating a large gash in my upper arm exposing my decomposing tissue and bone. I looked to examine where this object came from or who it came from. I quickly flung my body around to see who would do such a thing. When I saw it, it was one of them. It was a human, he was very short with dark brown hair and some sort of strange sheriff's hat. I was so amazed to see one of his kind still alive, but at the same time I was furiated, for two reasons. First off how could you do that to one of my kind, just push one little button and we die. What did we ever do to you, I mean besides taking over the world and feeding on you but besides that we have made the world a better place. Then second, you can't just decide to come and fight back! We own the world now.

I started to bolt towards the young boy, when three more, much older humans joined him. I didn't see this as much of a harm. I looked to my right to see the rest of my "family" darting in the humans direction. Just as I glanced over, two invisible items shot through the air coming in contact with my brother and mother's head. Creating a small hole just above whatever eyebrows they had left. With that they quickly clasped to the rigid, concrete ground. I stopped sprinting for a moment not knowing what had just happened . They did not get up. I looked around to see if anyone else had seen what I did and it looked like they did but they kept running, racing to see who could get their hands on the recent meal that had just wandered in. Not caring or even knowing about the risks. I turned back to the humans, there was my father in the front of a pack of "walkers", as the humans describe us. He was so close to them, until a tall man stepped in front of the young boy, my father had originally planned to feast on. This man had a different weapon then all the others. His was much larger and blasted out a different item, one that you could actually see flying through the air. It shot out something long a narrow stick, that was sharpened at the tip and carried feathers on its back. The blood-curling stick hit my fathers head sending him to the ground. This enraged me. How could humans do such a horrible thing? Here we are looking for food and they come along making themselves smell so irresistible. We can't do anything but eat them, if you ask me we are doing them a favor because if we eat them just right they can come back and join our side when we are done. That gives them no right to come in and kill our families.

I knew the dangers I took in doing this but I had to, to get revenge for my family's death. I started to jog faster and faster to the little boy. Even if I wouldn't be able to eat him I still wanted to bite him, infect him so sooner or later he would have to join our side no matter what. I ran to where I could almost taste him. I jumped up with all my strength aiming for the kid. When I was right above him I heard him scream something. Walker... I found that pretty insulting, I'm not sure why though I mean we do walk all day until we find food. We don't harm anyone unless they somehow harm us first, well we try to live that way anyway. I was looking forward to give this boy his death sentence. I landed where I had planned to, right on top of him. He seemed to be the strongest person ever strong, I couldn't quite get my teeth around his flesh. Just when I was about to I bite him, he bit me first. I let out a small screech in pain and in shock of a human biting me. I slowly became extremely weak and fell to the side of the boy just as my body hit the concrete it all went black..

I slowly began to see light again. I opened my eyes to see the bright sun and blue skies. I Didn't remember anything. I didn't know who I was or if i was a human or one of the walkers. I didn't remember me past or anything more than two minutes ago. The last time I had memory of anything was when we left our group of people to go off and do our own thing, then being attacked by tons of walkers, but that must of been months ago. Then I blacked out. slowly sat up not knowing what to do. As I sat up I saw a bunch of bodies those that used to belong to walkers i guess. The bodies came with a horrific smell that made me almost want to throw up.

As I was trying to piece together what happened a tall man came over . I recognized him. He was the leader of the group I was in before my family and I left and decided to go do our own thing. He softly spoke,"Hello, I'm Rick.." He continued to talk but I didn't listen all that mattered was I was still human.
