Time is ticking. The world is the bomb.
The disease was the spark. You never know when it was going to explode. And there came a time in life in which you were happy, after being sad for so long, right before the bomb went off. So you had to live, live before it obliterated everything in your life, and live without fear when it did. But that could just be inspirational crap. It could be advice I could have taken, I could have listened. I just never did. If you didn't listen, you had to teach yourself. Teach yourself to be inspirational, to hope, to pray. I never knew how beneficial that skill could have been. I never knew. Until my 8 days were up. Everyone else had 8 days, too. Until they left the earth, or some stayed behind, the crazy, the stupid, the weak, and the strong. Strong doesn't really fit into a category, the strong can be the crazy, or the stupid, or even the weak. The fact in reality though is everyone is the strong. Some people just don't know how to place the strong into action. And so they die before they learn. But that's just a fact; everyone dies.
But they didn't just die. Not with the last 8 days of humanity. In the past, their legacy would live on in their loved ones. Their memory still continues inside other memories. But now, their legacy wouldn't hold like that, not in the way in which you would hold a memorial, or visit their grave when you were sad. They continue to live. Their footsteps roam the earth, their breath echoes in the wind. Their shadows are cold and consistent. But they are not themselves. They are the dead. Maybe they died because of weakness, maybe they were forced into the doors of death, from the others who were starving for their skin. Who knows what really happened. But they are not gone. They are here. They arrive in 8 days.
The sun seemed to burn through my room as my eyelids fluttered open on a Sunday morning, heating the room and everything inside. Sweat beaded on my forehead, my heart racing and the the throb of it was so painful I was convinced it would pop out of my chest. Not a trace of wind in my room had been born, or outside, the curtains laying still and silent. My head was spinning as I lifted my back up, stretching from the constant nightmare that encompassed my dreams every time I closed my eyes. I could go into detail, but I fear thinking about my dream was to much for me to handle. If just having it every night scared me to the point where I was shaking and didn't make me want to close my eyes ever again, I doubt talking about it would help. Before I could truly wake up, my mother, whom had decided I was left alone to much and decided to detach into my door off my room and be reprimanding and strict, yet was still way to preppy and obviously didn't know I preferred to be alone rather than be bothered by Spencer and the dogs, stepped into the baking lavender room with a small smile and a tray filled with food. Pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage, and of course my favorite, the slight thing I mentioned, brewed coffee with a hint of honey and sugar. "Good morning!" She happily stated, me, I wasn't to glad. I hated mornings, and tomorrow was my first day of senior year, so I wasn't to keen on waking up or getting excited for my last day of summer. My eyes focused on the steam that rose from my coffee in swirls, as if the coffee itself was heated by the sun pouring in my room. "Stop being so loud." I grumbled, my usual every morning perks had kicked in, annoyance and most likely wanting to say something I'd regret later. But honestly, I was trying not to hurt my mother's feelings, knowing in the back of my mind how sensitive she truly was. Something in the kitchen was steaming so loud it make my head ache even more, only promoting my annoyance. "Go turn that off!" my lips mumbled, aches escaping my chapped lips and squinted eyelids. I hated mornings. I should be excited though, it was Spencer's birthday after all. She will be 8 today, with her entire class coming over to celebrate. And when that thought bubbled up into my mind, I suddenly lost all interest in eating, stress eating at me with knowing I had to help with the party today. I shook the food away quietly, knowing she was trying to celebrate something thats should be a momentous occasion, which it is, but I felt as if Spencer's father should be here, not just us, but I was just focused on shutting the world out at the moment. A small knock on the door broke my reverie, and soon our pet cat, Buzz, stepped in elegantly while purring and wrapping his orange striped tail around my leg, trying to get his favorite snack of an egg. But I hated cats, so I gave it a look of disgust while shaking away the food, as my mother walked in with her thick journal with the whole rainbow of sticky notes for Spencer's party. Right as she was about to speak, Spencer seemed to have drop the milk all over the floor, and soon she escaped the room, knowing the day was only beginning. And odd enough, how similar I was with my mother, not knowing anything that was going around in our lives. I cranked the radio up, hoping that some old country song would play as I got ready for the day, but of course, the highly overrated rumor going around the world of the dead walking and a new virus that had no cure had filled my eardrums. A roll of my eyes followed as my bruised and weak legs swung off the bed and brought me to the mirror across my room, not having a care in the world. I thought my life was hard then. Funny really, how cruel the world could be.
