Final Stand

Stuck in this prison of steel and concrete.

Safe in this house, I sleep, s**t, and eat.

One scared woman a-knockin' at my door.

An hour goes by: she ain't a-knockin' no more.

 

Shotgun in my grip, shells at my side;

I'm safe in this house; here I reside.

Ten people now, clawing at my windows.

Through emotionless faces, buckshot makes holes.

 

Ten days pass; I'm cold and alone.

Their cries rack my brain; they have no shame.

Forced to eat my dog, and then my cat.

I grip the grenade in my pocket.

 

Twenty days later, I'm still in this house.

One shell left, thousands milling about.

My door breaks down, they come stumbling in.

My last shot does nothing; the grenade, I pull it's pin.

 

They swarm around me; four seconds left.

They tear at me and bite; three seconds to go.

Their infections infest my wounds; two seconds, now.

One second left, I won't become one of them...

 

I give them a grin; oh what shagrin,

"F**K YOU ALL!"  I think.

My home is blown apart by the fire within...

F**k the Infestation!

I still haven't gotten to the food problem in my book but might as well do because your really do have a point. If you barricade yourself in, you have limited food supply... Lol the ending kinda reminds me of what Takashi says at the end of the anime -thinks- are somewhere in it. He f bombs a lot XD. Very epic write, and now, I'm off to the next chapter.. -scampers off-

Awesome! poor dog and cat though, but I'm sure during an invasion it would come to that. The rhyming in this was a little rougher than in your previous ones, but it was still good.

[Brianna Van Zandt]

Very good! Just for future reference: "chagrin", not "shargrin".

[Perfect Mistake]

Like how this ends, its kinda like an honorable death. Pity that the cat got eaten. Again good work

I like the thoughts and the motion of this chapter. Alone in thoughts can drive a person insane. No weakness in this excellent chapter.

I like this one. Hmm. There is just something about it I can't quite put my finger on.

[Alex Vidmar]

originally yes, but I decided to make it part of a story.
