They all think we're stupid. They think we're mindless rotting remnants of human life. The true bloods and the vamps make our existence an even more painful battle for survival. It's true we need to feed on true blood flesh in order to keep our bodies from rotting away but we didn't ask for this plight. Do they really expect us to lie down and die? The fact of the matter remains that we are inherently human and the will to live is still strong within us.
The Transformation
Before the outbreak I was a successful 33 year old bachelor living the high life as only New York City can offer it. I went to parties and rubbed elbows with the rich and famous. I had a beautiful apartment, lavishly furnished, looking out over the cities skyline. I graduated from Harvard Law and quickly stormed through the ranks of my law firm o become a partner, the youngest partner in my companies history.
It happened quickly, little was known about the virus sweeping the nation and eventually the world. It soon became apparent that everyone ultimately had to endure the pain caused by the virus whether they were transformed or not. I began to feel the effects of the virus just days after the first news reports went out. It seemed minor at first but by that evening I was retching in the bathroom of my apartment. The virus stormed through my body causing intense muscle cramps and spasms. I puked and shit more than I could believe was possible until there was nothing left. Finally I died.
It wasn't some mystical or spiritual experience I just knew that my body was no longer alive. I was hunched over the toilet when it happened and for the next four days I was unable to move from that position. My body was dead! I still had all of my mental prowess but could not make my body do a thing so there I stayed breathing in the stench of my rotting body, looking at the foul excrement and waste I'd deposited in the toilet. I wanted nothing more than for it to end, to finally end. You're not supposed to die and go on trapped in your rotting corpse! It's not fair, it's not possible! Unfortunately I am proof that it can happen.
I began to think I could actually here my flesh falling away from the bone when I noticed that I could move my eyes. I worked at it, straining my mind to take control of my body once again until I was able to pull my head out of the bowl. I looked down at my body and found that my flesh was indeed decomposing, turning multiple colors and I imagined I could actually see the smell rising from my carcass. Then I realized I was hungry.
I dragged myself into the kitchen and took out some left over veal cutlet, one of my favorite dishes, and put it in the microwave. When the bell sounded I greedily lunged for the door taking a large forkful I strained to open my mouth. When the veal hit my tongue I collapsed in a fit of spasms again. The food tasted horrid, it was the farthest thing from what I expected it to be. I slowly recovered, the spasms subsided until once again I had the minimal control I'd regained over my body back. I was hungry but apparently could not eat the food I had, my body craved something different. I stumbled out of my apartment in search of nourishment. I walked down the hall until I heard a whimper from behind another apartment door. It was that moment that I knew I wanted to eat human flesh. I knew it was wrong, I knew it was abominable, I also knew at that moment that it was the only thing I desired. With little thought I broke down the door and found a young woman huddled in the corner of her living room. As I reached for her she tried to push me away but her strength was no match for me. I began gnawing on her face enjoying the taste of her cheeks. The tears running down her cheeks were salty as was the flesh itself. Oh ecstasy! I gorged myself on the young woman until I lay on the floor in a stupor feeling full and a little groggy. I would soon find that this feeling of satiation would be short lived.
TBC?

I like the view being from a zombie. Not sure if they're still that smart, cooking food in a microwave, lol. But unique enough to entertain!
