The Queen of the Dead
“The zombie’s eyes didn’t seem to see her, and as she wandered the streets covered in gore, not a single corpse displayed interest in her. She moved among them as if she didn’t exist. She was a ghost. Maybe she was already dead. Maybe none of this was real, and her nightmare had extended itself into a special hell reserved for her alone.The rain didn’t wash away the blood, nor did it cure the growling in her stomach, or the nausea, or the shivers, or her aching bones. Her universe was composed o...f pain. She wandered into drug stores to find her medication, but found the pharmacies bare. She wouldn’t know exactly what she needed, even if she found anything. The dead ignored her. Soaked by the rain, corpses walked like pedestrians who were leaving a sports event in which their team had lost and would never win anything again. The dead grasped at walls and hung out in doorways. Scattered screams and gunshots had become familiar, and their absence produced greater terror, like a bill that was supposed to have been paid six months ago.MoreLess
