Friends
“Ugh!” She made a sound of frustration… checking her MySpace for like the tenth time that day.
Nothing.
She sat, pondering if there ever would be a chance of any reconciliation. Probably not.
Sighing, she went into the kitchen, staring into the refrigerator, full and stocked, but yet nothing she wanted to eat, nothing seemed to really look good to her. It was a lonely, gray, dull Friday night and she had nothing to do. The ultimate showdown with her best friend had completely killed her social life. Being best friends with the queen bee isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
She considered watching a movie when she noticed that the cable started to go out. She rolled her eyes in frustration “Great! Just another cherry on my sundae,” she complained. “I have no friends left, no boyfriend, stuck in a job I hate…” She shook her head, refusing to let herself get… like she was before. She tossed the remote on the floor, curled into a ball. She noticed the lights flickering now. She had just paid both the cable and electric. Confused, she turned on the radio. Nothing from there either. She sighed, boredom overtaking her. She dozed off…
When she awoke, she noticed a movement in the back yard. Then a few more. She felt the lonely, sinking feeling in the bottom of her stomach start to disappear. She wandered over toward the door.
They seemed to be walking right towards her. For the first time in her life she felt happy. Never mind that they seemed to be walking so slowly, so strangely. She didn’t notice that. The darkness hiding their rotting flesh, she didn’t see anything at all…until it was too late. So consumed by her loneliness, she embraced these strangers… willingly letting them push her to the ground… and though the zombies devoured her, feasting on her organs, she died with a smile on her face.
