MY HEART IS IN THIS FIGHT FOREVER Sage leaned against his gardening hoe and observed the enormous, gold painted gate in front of him. ”This must be the gate of heaven,” he chuckled, a crooked grin forming on his lips. ”Well, s’pose not. Close enough though.” He tucked the hoe close to his body so that it wouldn’t slam against the gate. The last thing he needed was to cause a commotion, then again, he supposed it didn’t really matter if he made noise or not. Sage was part zombie after all, and he couldn’t exactly complain about it. The virus managed to flush the addiction out of his system, so he had no need for the needle or a bottle of scotch. In fact, the only thing he needed was a few unsuspecting survivors to dine on before he dashed. It was nice to see trees instead of skyscrapers and bars that seriously needed a renovation. The sun was nestled above, its rays drenching the Earth with golden light. Everything seemed almost peaceful aside from the small group of zombies that were shuffling a few feet away from him. Sage propped the hoe behind his neck and walked with his hands dangling over both ends, as if he was some kind of prisoner of war. ”I’m going to call you Diane,” he said, stopping in front of one of the zombies. She still wore her pearl necklace, it must have been expensive by the looks of it. He poked his face in front of Diane who grunted and tried her hand at trudging around him. Behind her were a few more of them, one of them looked like he had been at a rave when the outbreak occurred. The group gurgled and moaned as they passed by him. ”Still rude as ever, I see,” Sage called after them before turning around. Most of the paths were paved but there were still a few areas that weren’t. He never spent a lot of time in the park, well, at least not for exploring. Time to atone for my sins, he thought and began to walk on one of the dirt paths. It led him up toward a patch of oaks. Their spindly branches stretched up toward the sun. Guess this is a good a place as any, he decided as he brought the hoe down from his shoulders, and to his side. Without much effort, he managed to climb to one of the more comfortable looking branches. He swung himself up and rested the hoe on his lap—one of his legs hung limp and swayed in the air. Sage pressed his head against the bark and closed his eyes, intent on catching a few moments of sleep before going out on the road again. |
