Authors Note: This was a piece that we had to write showcasing a characters feelings after a Zombie Apocalypse.
All
I see now are the bare walls of the structure that I once called home. The building is still there, it didn’t get ruined by a tornado, or a fire, but
the ones I loved, the memories that filled the air are now gone. I can’t bear
to see this place anymore. I can’t bear to see the empty beds, unmade and
tangled, never touched since the kids went off to school that day. I can’t bear
to see the place where me and my husband met, on that cold night in December. I
can’t bear to see anything. Every place in this town is linked to some meaning-
some memory in my mind. I just can’t bear it anymore I have to get out of here.
I have to get out of here, I don’t have a destination, I
don’t have any place in mind. I will just drive, and see where the road takes me.
I have only the clothes on my back and the car in my garage. I want nothing
else from this town. They say that the empty feeling in my stomach, and the
empty feeling in my mind can be filled by new memories, new feelings. Well I’m
not so sure I want them anymore. I want to remember my kids, and my husband. I
want to remember my friends, and the farmers market every Saturday. It’s time
for me to go now. I’ll send you a postcard when I get there.
