There is a mystery, unsolved and
scary, teeming with murderous innuendo and heart stopping ambiguity. A cloud of confusion infects the minds of all
its victims as its airborne pathogens contaminate and digest, leaving nothing
left but a mindless zombie, shuffling and stumbling for its next ravenous meal.
Mostly untold and a wish
forgotten, this tale of woe ruins the mind and destroys the soul. Those who hear run in vain trying to shun the
reality of what they’ve heard, never speaking what their ears have been forced
to endure, the indigestible, reconcilable horror, a relentless memory of
unquestionable evil, permeating the very essence of what humanity is supposed
to be.
No one is immune, no one is safe. This malicious plague attacks at will, biting
with sharpened poison filled, fangs like a vampire crushing its victim’s
arteries and draining the very essence of life, leaving only a shell where once
a body lived. With dying eyes looking up
toward its assailant the last hope of life drips precariously on the ground, a
wasted life to the juggernaut strafing its way through a once proud country of
unassailable beliefs and traditions, taking with them all that is sacred.
It can come at any time, any
place. There is not the means to predict
its next victim or the time to prepare for its next attack, for when it comes,
it comes, wicked, sin infused lightning, an ethereal menace that dissipates as
quickly as it appears, leaving only the brutal aftermath for its wretched, and
helpless victims.
The real horror of these attacks
is the secrecy. Not even the dying knows
of their future demise. With stupid
smiles plastered on their hapless faces the infected continue to move and function
but death has been assured, their outward countenance belays the truth of inner
death. Their friends may have some
indication of change, their loved ones also may start to see but most fall prey
to the evil long before the reality of that inner death becomes a conscious thought.
Lock your doors, bolt your
windows, cover your faces and shield your vulnerable minds the evil is upon us,
it surrounds our every move and seeks entry through our mouths and noses, our
thoughts and selfish prayers. It may be
too late, the evil too pervasive to ingrained to stop. Like the marauding hordes of zombies after an
apocalyptic meltdown the ravenous seek only to eat, their only meal the
living.
Death is the ultimate slavery,
forever in the grasp of those with emotionless, lifeless fingers, our choices
gone, our freedoms extinct, nothing left but the misery of bondage and total
subjugation. All because of an errant
thought, a selfish choice, an egotistical decision about an other’s fate and the
plague is ours; the fangs sink deep and our life is forfeit to the mystery of
selfishness and greed.
Happy Halloween……
