The End of Sunset
All my life I thought I’d grow up to be a well respected lawyer. I did not see this day coming. My family vanished and humanity became nothing but a numb creature to devour everything in its way. We are beyond caveman ways now, we are surrounded by a smart and deceitful breed of humans that evolved under this new world pandemic called the zombie virus. My name is Ursula. I am writing in my diary today to help make sense of this present which will soon be known as history in hopes of the future finding out what happened to those who denied abiding and why we look like the terrorists. The zombie virus was nothing like the movies. Metaphorically it is reasoned to be known as that because people lose their senses. They mentally are confused, unaware of their existence. Nobody knows how it started other than it being on a Fourth of July. I was with my family camping out in Delta woods. The most secluded area you could find. There were only about 4 other families that were there with us. My son and daughter were playing by the river when we heard fireworks. Then in the blink of an eye, my husband disappeared and my children too. I thought I was hallucinating however it was clear they were taken. I started to feel fuzzy and unable to comprehend the nature of the environment I was in. I was losing it. I did not know who I was anymore. That is what actually helped me cope with my family’s vanishing. I smelled smoke coming from the river but I locked the doors to the cabin and shut the windows. I drank a lot of water. I was determined to stop feeling drugged. My mind could not find peace. I was surrounded by turmoil of the mind that is. I passed out in the bathtub. The next morning I woke up to the news.
