Every coroner will tell you - if scar tissue tells a story, I am the best writer of a generation. There are the pretty ones on my shoulders from self-harm, burned into my flesh with hot metal held in a flame. I was quite artistic back then. Years before, a witch's cat slashed my nose. She smirked. Bitch. Across my forehead is the life-saving scar from my brain aneurysm surgery. And across my wrists are attempts to take my own life from decades before. My hand carries a one-inch injury from scraping against a surprise screw in a boyfriend's board game store. The biggest cause of scarring on my body is the stretch marks. They make a map on my belly, hips, thighs... All the fat parts. I spent most of my adult life super obese, but in the last few years have lost nearly half that. I like my new geography. Better curves, too. If it means fitting into smaller, cheaper clothes, I'll take all the scars and stretch marks you've got.
Scars can tell triumphs too.

Cheap and nasty. That was how Dad it and look at him now; 15 years dead and millions in debt.

The cold winter sun glinted off my watch as I stabbed the man. It's hard to drive a knife through a skull. It takes some force to get it in deep enough to sever life from this... man. If you miss, bad news - he'll get you first. You'll slowly change into whatever this guy is. He used to be a man with a briefcase and tie. He's been reborn as a drooling, decomposing beast out for blood. They're growing in number and soon those things will outnumber humans. It's forbidden to call them "zombies" or "walkers," like a white guy using the N-word. The officials say it's just a virus. Zombies are fiction. But I've seen someone get bitten and scratched on Friday, and by Monday they were like this guy. No pulse but she came after me. I had to stab her too. It took three tries before she fell. I really need a gun. I really need to run to safety. There's more heading this way, dragging and shuffling down the avenue as if they had extra gravity forced upon them. Remember - kill the brain or become another z-word. I'm out.
I used to write little stories like this. I guess this one wanted to be seen.
