Zombie by ~yellow-stickie-note:iconyellow-stickie-note:

Categories Literature > Prose > Fiction > General Fiction


My name was Emily. I don't know what to call myself now. Of all the nick names I've had over the years Zombie is the best I can think of that suits me now. Not because it's what I most resemble, though I'm sure I do at some points, it's becasue it's the farthest name from what people used to know me as. Because Emily is too normal, naive, pure, innocent. For now, Zombie works, though I'm sure I'll shed this shell too, eventually. Only because I'm riding this continuous downward spiral into morbidity, into apathy. That is my eventual goal. To be numb, free from all mortal emotion. I don't know why I clung to my pain for so long, I suppose I used to enjoy my humanity. Now it's just a waste of my time.

Well, let's hope it stays fictitious, you had me horrified there for a second.

good. thats how i wrote it. besides the fact that it hugs a little to close to reality for your comfort hows the writing? i thought you were better at critiquing than this.

I am, I was in a hurry XP. To be honest, I think it's a tad cliched - the whole thing about shedding your appearance, downward spirals, numbness being better than human emotion - it's been done. But you said yourself that that's not necessarily a bad thing, and it's not. The style itself was very readable, which is always a good thing. Happy?

oui. and of course its been done we're living in the 21st century man! nearly everythings been done and true original ideas are hard to come by, frankly, I really am not that good a writer to come up with something that fresh. maybe i will be one day, but for now, I'll stick with cliches. humanity seems to love it.

morbid is quite the word pumpkin... as for me -non-ficticiously, obviously- i stick to fiesty, smart ass by nature, compassionate by choice :nod: as much as it is ficticious perhaps a little influence by reality? like on a really bad bad bad day that is lol.
:hug: for my lovely
