sweetnothings 0 Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) Life was simple and we were happy but as you all know things like that don't last. This wasn't a typical issue though, the world went to shit and we found ourselves alone. Family, friends, everyone we loved besides each other were gone. All we had was each other and you know we used to tell each other that was all we needed but we never meant it to be like this. Things got rough and we had to adapt with the times so we too, became rough. At first though, we tried to live like normal human beings considering the situation; we met other survivors, helped one another, and lived peacefully. However, once we made it to the airfield everything changed. We reached a control tower where we decided to split off and search the building. My love climbed the outside and I went through the front. There, I found a body. It wasn't like the ones we came across before, those of the damned come back to life, but a body of some poor soul who met an early demise. I didn't know what to do, I just stood there, shocked. Who would do such a thing? Then I heard voices I did not recognize and decided to hide under the stairs where I discovered four armed men who returned to loot the body. Panic and fear gripped me. I knew these men were dangerous and if I could just hide maybe I could make it out alive. But then I thought, what of my love? Where is he? Is he safe up there or did they find him? Was he too another victim of these terrible men? These thoughts raced and my fear and panic turned to rage. I gripped my ax tightly, and like a mad man rushed the armed men swinging wildly. I don't know what happened, but time seemed to stand still; none of them seemed able to react to my attack. Perhaps it was this lone man with an ax or my terrible cries that held them in place. The ax found their bodies and the sickening crunch of bone could be heard with every swing: blood rained upon me in torrents of fury. When no one was left, I ran upstairs, hoping beyond hope, that my love was still there. He was, and around him were even more bodies. Upon hearing my cries he reacted in the same manner and hacked his way down in hopes he could rescue me. We embraced letting the tears flow; they were tears of joy and sadness. What we had done was horrible but we agreed it had to be done. We took what we could carry from the men, found ourselves more equipped to handle what may come, and ventured off to try and live another day. Time went on as it does, and we found ourselves short on supplies again. We decided to try another city where we encountered more med we deemed "evil". There, many more become victims to our rampage and when it happened, I'm not sure, but we no longer discriminated between those who seemed hostile or those who were like us, trying to survive. How many we killed is irrelevant as that is not the point of this story but there were too many. I would never forget the last one though. He was just a boy and all he had was a bat. We were on the edge of town, laying low in a field, when he approached us, asking if we were friendly. My reply, a magnum round to his head as he tried to run for his life. We found nothing on him and this seemed to weigh heavy on my loves mind. I tried to console him but nothing seemed to work. Eventually, I convinced him to climb a smoke stack with me to see if we could spot any new targets. When we reached the top, he calmly turned to me and said, "What have we become?" Before I found an answer he threw himself over the edge, ending the pain he was in. I wept bitterly at first, cursing him for leaving me alone in this hell, but as the tears dried I found my answer. We had become monsters and I too, couldn't live with myself anymore and that decision was easier to make once my love was no longer with me. So if you are reading this, I too have thrown myself to my doom. Please do not make the same mistake we made; live, but don't sacrifice your humanity to do so and please, pray for me and my angel.
