Numb
I carefully warm my hands by the small fire. The intense heat sears into the countless cuts on my hands, but I am numb to the pain. It’s been ten years since the world as we know it, or perhaps knew it, has ended. This new world is all about survival, and to survive you must learn how to become numb, both physically and emotionally. Humans have become as numb as the decaying zombies which now roam our world.

What it is really like being twenty-two.
When I think about being twenty-two, I am overwhelmed with a sense of feeling lost. I've graduated from university with honors, I'm in a stable long-term relationship, and I've secured a full-time position. And, while I'm content with each of these aspects of my life, overall, there is that lingering feeling of being lost.

Merlot Murder
On the countertop, a shattered wine glass slowly drips its rich, velvety contents onto the white oak flooring. Its fragmented pieces positioned like rocks in a stream, guiding the flow of the ruby red liquid to its endpoint. Drop after drop, the Merlot puddle continues to form, a stark contrast against the light wood. Its bold flavors of cherry and blackberry merging with the citrusy scent of the floor cleaner. Nearby, a figure lies haphazardly, slowly creating its own pool of Merlot with soft notes of iron. The figure’s thick chestnut hair is strewn across its face, and a glowing smartphone brightly displaying the numbers 9-1 rests in its limp hand.
