The Uprising

Thanks to Sean for adding your fine talents on this collaboration

 

The sun was a distant shadow of itself and the moon a dismal steel gray
and life as we knew it lay in debris and decay, yes, they say we are in
the final stages of fifth sun, a cosmic passage into a new light called the
sixth sun, but we are here to tell you what really happened in the year
2012, it was December 21st the day of the uprising!

We did not go softly into that bad night, there was no sixth sun
no new light, only eternal gloom and darkness on that doomsday.
Billions had perished, except for the strongest of the human race.
We are the new darkness, the new human race known as the uprising
We are the zombie nation that rules in the sixth light of the dark realm.

No government tells us what we can do; mere men no longer own this
world.They won't overthrow the zombie nation the new world as we
know it as we rule with a force beyond any precious known super powers.

We have the future in our hands and if by chance you have survived the
great astronomic event that occurred that fateful day, rest assured that
we will find you, yes, oh, yes we're coming to get you

The poison bleeding sun will bring its disease across a cursed grayish sky
The once beautiful Mother Nature will emerge out of the clouds of death
With sunken hollow eyes and yellow rotted teeth with flesh and blood
dripping off them

The cannibal corpses will rise up from hell and the graveyards will become
an eating sanctuary for our kind
Body parts and severed heads of our victims will cover the once green earth
We multiply as our sickness spreads across the devil’s land

Lifeless decaying madness walks upon the bleeding night
And you will suffer OH YES YOU WILL SUFFER feeling the wrath from our
demon hands
More of the human world will bow to our decaying souls and let the injection
spread within our zombie bite

this was a fun piece to do .. the tone of darkness worked out well in this piece and your half is brillantly done... overall a very fine collabration indeed... looking forward to more collabrations in 2010 with you... when our pens meet you better look out :)

[AlphaGemini]

Is it a poem or a story? It doesn't seem to begin or end anywhere exactly, it doesn't convey any plot direction as much as merely describing your zombie world. Don't get me wrong, it's a neat piece, but it seems almost lyrical in some places. Overall it was very cool to get a sense of narrative from one of the infected ones (I think?) which seems to be a more popular trope these days. Keep it up! gloriously dark and sinister.

[Stephanie Baker]

Very good your story is quite descriptive good job.

[Fran Marie]

Many thanks, Stephanie, I so appriciate ..

[C. Lee Battaglia]

Great job. You for sure know how to set the story line.

[Joaquin Rivera-Wilcox]

Legendary write. Very well written, and it hooked me on the first sentence. This story, has officially turned me into a worm.

[ANM]

Nice one Fan Marie thankfully we are still alive and kicking for now.......

[Mother_Yolk]

Wonderful read! Very descriptive and dark!

[Susanna F]

Downright shivery! There's just enough of a hint of reality to it that it seemed almost prophetic. We'll see, huh?

[Lost in Wonderland]

Thank you for entering this in my contest. I will definantly post it tomorrow for halloween story number 4. Freaky story that made me nervouse and uneasy, i've never been scared by zombies but this had me tensing up for the coming year, even tho i dont beleive about the doomsday. Very poetic, i like how it rymed some. I think that adds to the uneasy and weird atmospher you created. Great write, gave me a nice scare:)

[Larry Dyson]

wow..I would hate to see you two join up with Ms.Poppy...ORME ...what a concept and how this piece would sound....

[Daniel R Booyer]

(Contest) Very poetic, and well written. I enjoyed reading this one. You sort of skirted around rule one by making it sound like the zombies intended to be politicians... Sadly if you watch CSPAN you will realize that the zombies are already in power. Keep up the good work, I hope to see another submission from you.

Thank you,
D. Booyer
