A Bump in the Night

When the war started I did not join. I wanted no part of it. I keep myself hidden and off the radar, staying in the shadows of the night, but unfortunately all of that ended last night when I heard a loud thump above me in the house. Someone had come into my domain. I did not like this war that was going on and I wanted not part of it but I drew the line at my house and sanctuary being invaded. I grabbed the gun I always had at the ready and crept up the stairs to the floor above slowly. At the end of the hallway I could see a small sliver of light under the door at the end. That is where they were. I crept silently down the hall to the door and slowly creaked it open with my gun ready to fire and what the heck do you think I saw. Two small adorable children sitting on the floor eating chocolate. They looked at me with their big eyes and held out the candy bar. I put down the gun and joined them on the floor. On this one night perhaps the war could be put to rest at least for a while. I took the chocolate and had a taste. It was so good. I had not had chocolate for years. We sat silently in that circle. The humans and the zombie enjoying a small respite from the blood and gore that had torn the world apart. The children rose their feet gave me a small salute and left through the window. I smiled to myself, because I knew that if I ever meet those two out in the street one of us would die.
