kittenspeaksI caught the train and made my way over to Malcolm X College to meet some people for an audition. The weather was beautiful but there is a storm brewing.
Little did I know how portentous those rolling clouds would be.
I had never seen a campus so empty. It was creepy but I thought, "Hey, summer session", right? There were only a couple of us at the audition and the directors kept talking about a few more who were supposed to join us. One of the guys made the comment, "Maybe the zombies got them."
I laughed and the director looked at me like I was the devil.
After the audition I made my way back to the train and didn't see a soul. The train rolled in and as I boarded a girl shambled past and ran into me.
"Fuckin' homeless." I muttered as the her rank stench reached my nose.
I turned to demand an apology when I saw the gaping hole in the back of her head.
"What the hell? Lady, are you ok?"
She turned to me with a dazed look in her eye. And I say eye, singular, as the other socket was a squirming mass of maggots and worms.
She let out a strange gargle and lunged. I hit her in the head with my umbrella and pushed her back onto the platform. Luckily, the doors closed and the trained pulled away before she could come at me again.
I stared out the window as her body buffeted off the side of the train and then fell to the tracks below....
