The Risen don't attack animals.
They aren't worth the effort.
The disease doesn't affect all of God's creatures.
Just the ones that sin.
My master has sent me to deliver a message
To the neighbors down the street.
It is strapped in saddlebags on my back.
They know it will reach it's target.
I reach the back door of the house
And pull the rope with my teeth,
As the dead surround me.
Then the doggy-door opens for me.
I'm let in and she gives me a bone,
But I know not to chew, for it has a message.
Then she sends me on my way home.
And I weave between the stumbling feet of
Those around me.
As I reach halfway home, the Sleepwalkers
They burst through her door,
I hear screams, gunfire, and voiceless moans.
Then all goes silent, and I head home.

I love how you called then the Sleepwalkers. That is just so cool. I can see all of the details. This was very well written as usual. The whole idea with the dog was clever!
I was station in Germany for three years a long time ago. A powerful language in speaking and writing. Thank you for the translation. The poem is amazing. With artwork this would be a amazing book. A excellent chapter.

I'm twenty-two years old and a musician at heart, but I took up writing five years ago. I'm hoping to get published somewhere, so I'm trying out this site.
