As Alive As Dead

Zombies walked through the town. Hundreds and thousands of them. They walked in all directions, but they dint know where they were going. Left right and centre, they walked and walked mindlessly. They banged into each other only to start moving again in a different direction. In the middle of it all stood a sole human soul, trying hard to make sense out of the chaos. It had been warned about it earlier, but reality is never what you imagine. It tried; it tried hard, to comprehend the situation. But it was alone facing an entire army. It fought and it got hurt, it fought more. It got hungry and tired, but it moved on, not wanting to give up so soon. Slowly it started to crumble; it found it difficult to hold on. It started to lose itself, it started to die. And then the day came when it joined the crowd. Welcome to the land of Zombies!!

She did not bother to vacate her apartment like everyone in the area who had gone hiding, looking for a safer place. She did not want to leave. This seemed to be a new beginning than an end. She stepped in the shower, aware the moment was nearing. She cared a damn. What happened that was all hazy. She could hear them coming, knocking down the door, hunting her down and trying to rip her heart off. She smiled all the time, for they did not know, she was heartless. ********************************************************************* Weird post to start my blog in 2008.
