Dead Living Thing
I cant stop looking.
 I cant.
 There is no way.
 
 I cant look away.
 I can only stare
 at the bulging eyes
 of the dead.
 
 He is coming.
 I cant move.
 I'm stuck in ice
 as I'm frozen 
 with fear.
 
 His dark
 wrinkly skin,
 curls around
 his fingers.
 
 Ragged clothes,
 scratched
 torn,
 blow in the wind.
 
 Gnashing teeth
 as he bites
 the living flesh
 off my arm.
 
 I cant scream. 
 More smell
 the fresh,lively smell
 of my pulsing blood.
 
 Another comes up. 
 My arm is yanked
 above my head.
 I hear a snap.
 
 The bone
 from my arm
 is protruding 
 out of my arm.
 
 I'm yanked
 off my feet. 
 My blood is
 everywhere.
 
 I feel something
 sharp,
 smooth
 on my neck.
 
 My friend
 swings the knife down.
 A sorry look in his eyes.
 
 Its dark.
 I cant see.
 Am I dead?
 Or am I a dead living thing?
