Dead Man Walking
September 16, 2019
As the sun sets upon the dreary horizon
The dead shall begin to rise once more
As the curse was foretold many moons ago
Eternal damnation for their sins of betrayal
Terrorizing the locals of a very small town
With a cemetery smack dab in the very middle
Nowhere to flee, left to stand up and fight
The dead of the past begins to descend upon them
Until there is nothing left but their weary bones
And their lifeless bodies filling the streets
With blood-stained highways
One woman shall rise to the occasion
And continue on the battle for life
Striking the dead down until they can no longer arise
“I shall not lose today”, she whispered among herself
As her final foe steps up to the plate
“This shall be your final stand,” says the weary voice of the dead man that stands before her
With a wicked smile, he lurched at her
Clasping onto her blood-soaked clothing
He drags her down the now open portal to hell
She awakens in the small town, with its peacefully silent streets
The birds soon begin to sing
Realizing all was but a dream
