Maybe, they thought,
They'd really made it
New, naive hope upspringing
They could start over together
Press 'reset' on the world
That had left them to perish
...
She makes one wrong step
Puts one foot down just a half-second early
But it's enough
...
Shoelaces tangle and trip
She falls quietly while he runs
They push forward, bawling
Blistered skin on rotting bone
Eyes wide with missing lids
One stumble and it's over
She gets to watch them destroy her
...
Skin is shredded, fingers torn away
Limbs cleaved, neck clawed
Lips crack and gums fill
Eyes heavenward, mouth open
She doesn’t scream
She looks ahead
...
He watches them devour her
Greyed eyes rolling, twisted satiation
They don't get to start over
His lungs burn and his knees crumble
This is the end
This is the end
This must be the end
