Today I didn't do what I did yesterday but did do what I did today.
Anyway onto the flash fiction!
The City Full And Empty
I stepped over body after body in the city. They died just recently
enough that the stench of rot only just begun to settle in. I went
through building after building seeing more and more bodies. Men,
women and children. The air held a heavy silence. The bugs I saw
flying around the bodies didn't make the noise human activity would.
The shallow blue of the corpses didn't go with the bright blue of the
sky. I went through the entire city viewing all the dead. Even going
into the sewers where I found some more people. Not even sewer works.
But people in oridairy clothes. And I also noticed like the other
bodies they looked like they were running as they died, collapsed
while screaming. After the sewers I left the city and spoke on the
radio in my gas mask:
“Sir, I checked the entire city. There are no survivors. You can
strike the next area.”
