Maxine Monologue

Everything was in shambles. Our safe house was raided and burned once we arrived. Dead heads were everywhere surrounding our crops, houses, and even the shop. Blood Curdling screams were heard throughout the camp,organs and brain matter was scattered across concrete walkways. I stepped over a little doll covered in rotting flesh and blood. “Poor thing” I thought to myself. What horrible person would do this to a neighbouring camp, especially one with several small, frail, children? My stomach curled and cringed every time I saw a corpse. Whether it was eaten from or prowling for more living creatures, they all upset me. Maxine was the first to spot a survivor. I had given up hope on finding anyone, but she still pressed on.

I kinda felt sorry for him. No one else seemed to bat an eye at his conflict though. Axel grinned, mischief in his eyes as he crept behind Adeen. Grabbing his shoulder, Axel whipped Adeen around in a circle and threw him to the ground next to the dead head. Adeen began screaming like a twelve year old girl.
