Cute and Comment Driven? It may not be Wraith, but it's a zombie! (Original, FREE, cute) · 1:05am Jun 14th, 2017
Link to the Tumblr this is, and now the first post before more info.
Hello everyone. My name is Amelia Grace, and it’s a pleasure to meet you! At least, that’s what my dad taught me to say when I met strangers, so I think it fits. I like to call them new friends though, but he never liked that much, so don’t tell him, please. I don’t want him to be anymore upset with me then he will be when I find him.
Um, I guess I should tell you what I’m doing, shouldn’t I? Where I am, such like that. Small talk. Yeah., that’s normally a good place to start. I’m really sorry if I’m bad at this by the way. I used to talk to so many people, and they all loved to talk with me, but now I rarely get to. In fact, I think it's been about a week since the last time I even said hi to someone.
But now you’re here, and I’m gonna tell you all about my adventures! Oh, it’ll be so much fun! In fact, yesterday, I saw a dragonfly go by. I tried chasing it, because it was so pretty, with its blue body, shimmering wings, and small spurts of fire, but it was too quick. It stayed around for a little bit, sure, even gave me some kisses, but I wanted to keep it as a pet, but it wouldn’t stay still long enough for me to catch it.
I wonder the next time is that I’ll run into something else to play with. It doesn’t happen super often for me, but that’s not my fault, not entirely at least. If I knew how to get out of this desert and to a settlement again, I would be surrounded by people to play with, give hugs, talk to, everything! Everything I used to do with my family.
I can’t wait to see them again either. I want to believe they’re happy and enjoying themselves at a new settlement, but my daddy’s a big old worry wart. Until I’m back with them, he won’t be able to relax, and that’s just going to annoy my big sis, and she doesn’t need that. Mom already gets on her enough as it is about how much she swears.
Actually, now that I think about it, back in our old compound, mom didn’t yell at Lara when she began to curse on my last day there. I still wish I’d known what had been going on then, as it might help me know where to go, but instead a nice man in a lab coat offered me some candy, and past that…
Well, I suppose nothing, but- People! Oh, there are people! I hope they’ll let me say hi to them this time. I just need to move fast enough, and then I’ll be able to give them a hug, ask for directions, oh, and maybe even learn a new joke. I’d love to be able to tell my dad-
Bam!Huh. They’re shooting at something. You know, every group of people I find seems to see something behind me that I can never see. If they would ever let me catch up to them, then I would be able to find out what it is, but instead they-
Bam!
Do that! They miss whatever is behind me, thump my skull, and put me on my back. I’m already slow enough as it is, and this always makes it so I can’t keep up with them. In fact, most of the time when I get up they run, just like now! Aren’t you happy to see me get up?
They don’t have as much of a reason as she thinks though. Not while her flesh is green, and her eyes are yellow. Her black hair barely clinging to her head doesn’t help, just like the black shirt with ‘Free Hugs’ on it or her dusty brown shorts. Sure, with a passing glance, some centuries ago, someone might think she was still some young girl.
Now though, especially as the bullet hits the ground beside Amelia, and she slowly makes her way to her feet, everyone, including her, knows what she is. She is a zombie. A mutated human meant only to kill other humans as super soldiers for inherently mad men.
But Amelia doesn’t get that last part as she tries, just like she has with the last dozen groups she’s seen, to follow them. She’s just a twelve year old girl after all. Innocent and wanting hugs for anything she can find. Not some monster.
Not that she’ll stop trying to find something to hug as she continues to trudge along, smiling to herself as she thinks this group may lead her to another shelter where her family might be, and that at least the sun is out to guide her way.
Alright, so, first, everyone who might be thinking "This seems familiar," it should! I'm bringing back, now that I am better mentally, and a lot more driven as far as my writing, and this project goes, Zombie Hugs is back, will be better paced, less insane, and I already have more posts WRITTEN then I did before, so I promise it's not going to just disappear like last time. It is though an Ask Blog end of the day, so don't be afraid to ask the cute little zombie girl some questions along the way.
Tbh that teaser was kinda depressing
4570561 Yeah, unfortunately, like Twaith, it also has the problem of having some dark undertones pervading it.
