The Fight

By Angela parent

To whom it may concern, the world is calling ya, holding the flock down, stomping through, sweeping the gold up, waiting for the blast to end after the showdown in the afternoon. Creeping over there, look out, one’s behind you. Here we go, one on one, 10 on one, becoming the one two. It’s sniffing your neck. Wait. Here I come, we got you. Hand blasting up with shots fired, we have the ammo, ignition flow, double down, drive. Let’s go. It’s what we gotta do. The land is limited, same with the substance of water, food. Gold is good but doesn’t hold to the potential of our world that we once knew. Overrun and taken by the night crew, dawn of the dead, they’re walking through tonight, we stand and fight the horrid view. Till I shut the game off, and it’s only just the light of the moon.
