Best Place to Be

It started with a cough,

Hear sirens all around.

The population was depleting,

No savior to be found.

I try to keep my sanity,

For that’s all I can do.

My friends are gone,

Brains are what they chew.

I frantically pack.

I grab guns, knives, clothes, food and water.

There’s distant screams down my street

There’s going to be a slaughter.

These bullets aren’t enough

I’m going to need way more.

I grab my things

And sneak my way to the store.

My chest pounds rapidly

I quietly take bullets from the shelves

Then I hear the door open

And my heart caves into itself.

It had a rotten jaw

Had blood around its lips

It started walking towards me

Then the empty corpse trips.

This virus took my family

I want everything I had back

But I knew that wasn’t going to happen

So I took out my knife and everything went black.

I came back to myself

The creature was no longer moving.

I looked down at my clothes

Red was the color consuming.

Then I heard noise

A noise that made me smile

My best friend left a voicemail

She’s at the school, about a mile.

I find a car ready for use

Down the school street.

I see my dear friend

She was horridly beat.

She’s trapped here

Her light isn’t shone.

I smile and face her.

She won’t be alone.

Together

Best friend and me

Blood on our lips

The best place to be.
