I wake up from a dream about an ex-girlfriend. She’s the kind of
ex-girlfriend that never goes away in your head because the relationship
never really had any closure. We stopped going out because it was
too serious, at least that’s what she told me; but I know she lied to her
friends & family kind of a lot. We broke up about three months
before the zombies came. I keep thinking I’ll run into her &
either (A) she’ll be dead & I’ll need to shoot her in the head &
I won’t need to worry about her anymore or (B) she’ll still be alive &
maybe we’ll get back together. It’s not really significantly different
from the hope/dread of running into somebody you’re still in love with
at the grocery store & trying to decide if you should talk to them
or ignore them if you do actually see them.
When I get out of bed I fall down. I use the bed to get myself up
off the floor & I grab my crutches leaning against the foot of the
bed. Who am I trying to fool, what kind of girl would fall back in
love with a cripple? Especially these days. How would I be
able to feed us both, much less protect us….
