I Dream of Zombies
Last night I dreamed of zombies
I was barricaded in my home
With my Husband
The shadows of zombies
With out stretched arms
Like Frankenstein
Outside
My
Bloody house
They were being slowly
And
Systematically
Killed
Soon they would all be gone
But it was taking so long
I asked, The Other Half
‘How long have we been trapped in our own home, while zombies roam the streets?’
‘Six and a half weeks.’
‘Six and a half bloody weeks?’
‘Yup.’
I woke to the normality of my life
Same blanket, same pillow
The Other Half gently breathing beside me
I kick myself for being so bloody gullible
How could I have not known that was a dream?
I mean
Zombies?
Really?
