Be Careful What You Wish For: A Zombie Apocalypse
I see dead people.
But hey, itโs the zombie apocalypse, everyone is seeing dead people, including a blind girl. Itโs not like I am that special.
For a while, I thought I was going to be Cinderella, complete with the cruel stepfamily and the little mice for helpers. But instead of mice, I got demons from hell with a taste for chaos.
Then again, there is nothing wrong with a little chaos in the middle of the apocalypse. Itโs what makes life worth living.
Unfortunately for others, they donโt quite see it that way. You see, I have a gift. One that isnโt exactly mine, but I can use it however I see fit.
My gift is granting wishes.
I'm a genie without a bottle, but it would be nice if people appreciated me more. All the humans ask for is the same thingโฆ more food here, shelter there, kill these people, torture those. And I do it all, for a small price.
I donโt ask for money or food, I can get that on my own. No, I want favors, souls, something that means everything for the other person. And they give it to me. Their momentary desire worth their long term happiness.
But by the time they discover that, Iโm long gone, already moved on to my nextโฆ client.
I know I look young, starvation and abuse will do that to a girl. Humans tell me that I shouldnโt be wandering out there alone. Some try to help meโฆ most donโt. But whoever said I was by myself? Just because others couldnโt see them didnโt mean my demons ever left. I still hear their voices in my head, whispering words of encouragement and love. For them, Iโd do anything. Kill anyone. Destroy anything.
After all, life is just a game, right? Those still alive at the end of the day were the lucky ones. Those who died were not. Everything is just a game of chance, all a human has to do is roll the dice.
My only word of advice is to be careful what you wish forโฆ you just might get it.
My name is Hattie, welcome to my world.
Would you like a cup of tea?
