From 2011 to 2013   I was a member of the online social group called The "SteamPunk Empire"  and wrote poetry and stories for the site. I created a group of 67 renegade contributors (Very funny I might add) called "The Gear Of Rejection" with several sub-groups within it. My Favorite one was named "Zombie Station" Under which I wrote using the Pseudonym "Zack The Zombie Dude". This is my station and this is my poem.

The Station

In the mist---you hear the hissing
Of the train that you've been missing
And you know you're getting near
To the Station that you fear
For the engineer is dead
There's no brain inside his head
But his thoughts---still remain
And this drives you quite insane
Now that passengers start boarding
Is it death the coach is hoarding ?
And it's waiting there for you
What on this earth will you do.............
Come and stand here at the wicket ?
To receive your one way ticket
And the price of this toll ?
Is your brain and you soul

  JT Curtis ......AKA ....Zack The Zombie Dude

I have to thank you twice Richard, once for your comment on this piece and for the word of advice way at the beginning of my trek thought PS. It goes ---and I paraphrase----"Jerry if you change you Avatar for that hideous zombie to something more uplifting, the members my visit your page and make comments". So, naturally I did what he said....Ha

I was just Zack the Zombie until one day online a woman thought I had insulted her and of course that was not the case, so she called me Zombie Dude ! I liked it so I kept it. Thanks Jan
