"Do you know what it's like to not be able to touch anything, not being able to feel the warm embrace of another person?" I stared up at him with a blank face and I could see sadness and pity in his striking blue eyes. He tried to hug me, I guess as an instinct to comfort me but his arms went right through me because I was nothing. {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} Riley had a perfect life. She was starting her last year in high school, she had amazing family and friends. Riley had her whole life planned out and everything was going her way. The key word here is had. The whole zombie apocalypse happened and her life went downhill from there. One single mess up and she was dead forced to wander around as a memory, a ghost. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello and welcome to my story. If I have any grammar or punctuation mistakes in my story I'm so sorry. Feel free to leave a comment just kindly saying what that grammar or punctuation mistake was and I will gladly fix it. This story is a zombie story however there will probably not be a lot of blood or gore. The first few chapters are short and the writing isn't the best. I'm trying to make my writing better and pushing myself to write longer chapters (wow could it get anymore cheesy I think not). It would mean a lot if you stuck with it. Now go enjoy the story! (Unless you don't that's fine too)

For every moment I was smiling, or laughing, or talking, I now know that I had taken it for granted. Because those moments don't come when you are alone. I thought I had nothing until I lost more than that. Because I might have felt lonely before, but now I am less than that. Now I am alone. The once broken world is less than it was before. The society which I had wished didn't exist is gone. Everything is gone, just like everyone's humanity. The things from movies became reality, except for the happy endings. The silence which I once craved has grown over like mold in a dark, damp basement. I used to think the noise was deafening until the silence became just that. Because now I was alone. But I wait. I fight. I fight for a tomorrow as insignificant as I may still be because if there is one, it has to be better than today. I fight because if I didn't I'd grow impatient. Impatient of being alone. Alone until. ----------•----------• Highest ranks #265 Horror #241 Outbreak I made the cover with the Wattpad Covers app, the app is great and easy to use! (CONTAINS GORE AND SADNESS AND KILLING AND DEATH SO IF YOU ARE SQUEAMISH OR DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF DEATH THEN SUGGESTIVELY DON'T READ OR READ WITH CAUTION BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO SCAR SOMEONE. THIS BOOK ISN'T NECESSARILY SCARY YOU'LL FIND BUT IT PLAYS WITH THE TOPIC OF 'ZOMBIES' SO I PUT IT UNDER HORROR. THE STORY MAY ALSO LOOSELY MENTION SUICIDE, BUT NOT PROMOTING IT.)
