Population Z
Kicking, scratching, clawing at the door,
Heart pounding as I lay shaking on the floor
My knife trembles in my hand as I watch them through ____the cracks
Eyes bulging out their heads and bones protruding from ____their backs
I try to catch my breath but I am breathing too fast
my heart’s racing as I wonder how long I’m going to last
I watch in terror as the nails begin to get weak
They pound louder with every cry and every shriek
As I look around, I can clearly notice
theres no exit to be found as my eyes strains to focus
Reinforced windows shatter as they pound on the glass,
The boards fall to the floor and they are coming in fast.
As they crawl through the wall im beginning to see,
The only option for survival is becoming a zombie.
