Intro
We Are Still Here
By Jimmy Bird
Regret. Regret is defined as a feeling of sadness, repentance, or disappointment over something that has happened or been done. Regret is such a simple word with a deep meaning. I mean, have you ever regretted anything in your life? Come on, be honest. Have you ever regretted getting a certain tattoo, maybe not talking to a certain guy or girl you thought was attractive? What about not going to college or not going for that certain job. How about not buying that fancy new sports car or bike? Yeah, we all have regrets and I’m no different. I regret that I secretly wanted the zombie apocalypse to happen. When it finally happened, I lost almost everyone that I had ever loved and held dear. Before the apocalypse happened though, I didn’t think about what could possibly happen. All I knew was that I wanted the zombie apocalypse to happen so badly that I didn’t care about the consequences! Well, that’s not entirely true, but then again it is. Now that I think back on it, I think that I wanted the apocalypse to happen because I felt that our society needed a type of cleansing, a fresh start so to speak. I figured that it would be our modern-day plaque. Deep down, I truly thought that it would unite us as one people. That it would bring all of us together to fight this evil like it did in the movies. Instead, it brought out the worst in us. Instead of uniting us, we attacked and killed each other. Family attacked family; neighbors attacked neighbors. For what? Clothes? Food? A sanctuary? Weapons? Tools? Supplies? No, we attacked each other because it’s in our nature, our HUMAN nature. I’ve said this before and you would be wise to remember it now, Don’t Trust Anyone.
