In The Flesh
Living purgatory.
Death. Everywhere. That's what this beaten broken world has boiled down to. I remember when everything was beautiful and lively, but not anymore. I realize now that I had taken for granted everything I once had. Then the epidemic hit, people that I loved turned into these, these...Things. These, threatening Creatures, the monsters who seem to have risen from their own grave in order to surcease this canabalistic never ending hunger. Zombies. I don't mean that memetaphorically either, they are legit zombies, like, y'know, the ones that devour your brains and guts without a second thought. Yeah, those.
Anyway, after the epidemic my brother, Johnny, and I were pretty damn resentful. We had to learn to fight for every breath we take. Everyday is a constant struggle for survival, and boy have we grown used to it. Every day is the same thing, wake up, drink, slay the undead, travel, drink, eat, drink, rest, repeat. It's a pretty straightforward routine, it's rather monotonous though. It gets boring after awhile, but you wouldn't believe the amounts of alcohol that's just laying around. I guess people -for reasons unknown- decided that alcohol wasn't important in the apocalypse. To that I say 'oh well, more for us!'
Believe me, it's not as awesome as it seems, no I'm not happy about this situation, it's actually really depressing and creates this foreboding cloud of anxiousness and despair. Yeah, and that's where the drinking comes in. It numbs the pain, and I guess you could say by now, Johnny and I were full blown alcoholics. Hell, Johnny's name suits his personality, he shares a name with a brand of whiskey. "Johnny Walker."
As you can probably tell by now, this life is not nearly as fun as it seems. Until this point I was almost completely convinced that we were all alone in this cruel, patronizing world, but I guess not. Now we have the smallest shred of hope for survival, and it comes in the form of a group of four sardonic and sassy men. If only then we knew that something critically important to the survival of humanity, lay just ahead.
Notes
