THE HOMICIDAL DEAD (9)

Animals react differently to whatever it is that makes the human dead undead.
Upon infection, it makes them very sick for a couple of days...
Before driving them mad for a few more days.
They then quickly die in a foaming fit if horror.
Have I found companionship for my lonely days?
Or, have I found bitter disappointment.
I'll know in a few days.

THE HOMICIDAL DEAD (9)

Out on food patrol, three days ago, I heard a very familiar whimpering sound behind a trash bin.

I removed the dirty items concealing the baby creatures, and there they were...  two young puppies.

They came to me like two children... and I took them in... and I fed them and cleaned them.
I don't want to kill these dogs... if they can stay alive a few more days... I don't want to kill them.
