THE LAST OF THE LIVING by Ramona Thompson

Trapped
I am alive inside
This Hell on earth
For how much longer I do not know
I know only this
I must warn you
So if there’s anyone else out there
Not yet taken over
Beware
Because our worse nightmare has come true
And they are on their way
Very dead and very very hungry
The dead have risen to destroy
The last of the living
We tried to stop it
But the infection just kept spreading
So fast
Too fast
Out of our control before we could do anything
Turning us against one another
Even as we tried to work together
The madness took us over
Leaving with us with horrible inhuman cravings
Cravings I shudder to speak of
Even now as I sit here writing this
I find the hunger almost too great to ignore
Please someone out there must hear this
Before the dead devour
The last of the living
My sanity is slipping away
As the minutes tick by
So does the last of my humanity
Nothing I can do I know
But to try and save the rest of you
From my awful fate and that of my men as well
Pray that through this warning I issue
That at least some if not all will escape
The hell of this wicked night
When a man fights a losing battle
Against the grave
The clock is ticking
Begging for mercy
For the last of the living
How will it all end?
How did it all began?
Will we ever really know?
As I prepare my breath my last human breath
I understand that
I shall never have these answers
For no matter what I do
I can not deny
My fate was sealed
From the very moment I was bitten
If I have to die this way
Than it will be by my own hand
As a human man
Not as one of them
One of the unholy many that has died and been born again to walk this earth never ending
So now I bid you farewell and good luck
To whomever may read these words
Watch your backs
For you could well be……
The last of the living
