Fallen

Remembrance

     My mother always told me that you need to appreciate what is giving to you in life, and never forget what is took because when something is taken from you it also shapes you. My brother and I lost our mother years ago to the infection. She was a very blunt person, yet she always new what to say. I lost her when I was Ten during the breakout.

  * "Run baby girl we have to go to your grandma's."

" but mom why didn't she just come to our house our car doesn't work and this is a lot of walking"

" She couldn't waste gas. Now run."

" Mom why is everyone yelling at each other?''

" They're mad. Now hurry up I can't drag your brother and you."

" Mom I think I see Harry up ahead can he come too?"

"Maybe."*

Next thing I knew I saw Harry standing in front of his mother crying. When I got to him I saw that she had been bitten, but I never understood why or how, until now. My mother explained to me once we got to my grandma's how people were now "Evil Monsters" and not to trust anyone or go near anyone unless they speak to you first that way I'd know they weren't infected. Harry's stayed with us since he also had only his mother by his side which was why I believe we clicked so well, but a few months later my mother had passed. She had been bitten trying to check for shelter in another house. Harry had became the only one I could look up to. He watched over my brother and I until we found our group, cornerstone, and we've been here since hiding in the shadows of the woods. With no one to trust but our group and each other. Harry always knew how to handle things. He never showed emotions in the things he did, I believe because he had watched his mother's flesh be torn away from her neck and try to kill him. The world was no longer the beautiful place we'd all grown to know it was now a dark and dangerous place where behind every corner was a danger lurking in the dark ready to tear you limb to limb. This was no longer my home, this place was now my own personal Hell for which me along with everyone else was dammed to live and suffer in. This would now be my new "home".
