Shooting My Beloved



Shooting My Beloved

By Craig Wilson



In this dream, I am not myself – I am a scientist.
In fact, I’m the lone survivor of a virus outbreak.
I’ve activated the lab’s self-destruction sequence.
Red flashing lights illuminate the hallways of the lab.
My zombie wife has torn a chunk off of my shoulder.
With tears in my eyes, I get ready to fire my shotgun.
I cry, “You are not my wife,” before shooting her.
However, the shotgun’s blast quickly wakes me up.


The End

The above story is a loose adaptation of a dream I had. If there is anything you would like to ask, feel free to leave a comment, and thank you for reading.
