Lost in a forest full of stories

From Starred Photos

I got bored and wanted to write something today so i did. I wrote a little story set in an apocolyptic time. It's alright i guess, I could have done better but I really just felt like writing something sad. I really don't have anything sad about myself to write about so I decided to write this. Hope you like it, the next one I write will be in paragraph form like a normal story. The reason this one is like this, is because I thought I was going to write a poem but then something took over my brain and told me to write this. It all works out in the end :B

Lost in a forest full of luscious green trees and beautiful hills.

A woman stands before it, it breathes deep.

Its eyes as dark as her soul.

Thinking back on her past through seconds of tragedy.

What she’d done to survive this new world, what she’d overcome to get here.

Alone she had traveled into this place but split ways with others.

The others are no longer living.

The reason was to get her here.

To the forest where she could run and hide and tell others of this tragedy.

So she could escape into a safer world.

She had come a long way before arriving here.

She had made friends with people of the kindest hearts.

Only to end up killing them in the end.

The disease was unknown but they knew what it did.

The towns they passed through, the cities they tried to shelter in, everywhere had been hit.

Nobody knows what caused it but they all knew what was in store.

The woman was the key to the entire operation.

Living a once normal life she only went in for testing three times a year.

She was the only stable test subject they had.

She was perfect.

Until she realized what they had been doing.

They had created something no man had ever seen before.

They had created a monster made from man to strengthen the odds of war.

What they did not realize is that she was their only cure.

Everybody, the towns, the nearest cities, it spread like wild fire.

The whole earth seemed as if it were plagued with the infection.

People killing people for no reason other than to live.

The dearest people she met, the most kind she had ever known, she put down.

No matter how you were infected, you were infected.

She was the only cure.

She had traveled months to get here.

To find a salvation so she could help the rest of what was left of society.

Out of breath out of ammunition and with nothing left but her bare hands she stared deep into the eyes of the monster ahead of her.

If she died now, humanity would forever be extinct.

She had only herself.

Tears ran down her cheeks as stared into the monsters eyes.

She flashed back to every laughing moment she ever had as a child and even the ones she had with some of the refugees.

They’re all gone now, she had nothing left to live for.

She had been stopped short in her journey to save humanity by a creature with no left arm.

He had an awesome grip as he ripped her into a tree nearest to them.

A gasping noise, her eyes widened as she fell to the floor.

The end so near she could see death itself.

The last thing she remembers is the dark shaded eyes of the monster as it pierced her heart with its fist.

With one final breath she said goodbye to the world.

Wishing she had had the strength to fight back she died in tears.

The monster had no idea of who she was, all he knew was his instincts said kill and his body followed.

The monster kept her heart as a trophy; he held it in his hand where ever he went.

He guarded that forest for whatever reason and did so briskly.

Everyone who had ever entered died.

He left her body there as a warning but time soon faded away her decaying bones.

Millennia passed, the one armed man was now a demon that surpassed all other life like his self.

Conscious now, he looks back on everything he did, still carrying that womans heart.
