I see dead people. 

But hey, it’s the zombie apocalypse, everyone is seeing dead people, including a blind girl. It’s not like I am that special. 

For a while, I thought I was going to be Cinderella, complete with the cruel stepfamily and the little mice for helpers. But instead of mice, I got demons from hell with a taste for chaos.

Then again, there is nothing wrong with a little chaos in the middle of the apocalypse. It’s what makes life worth living. 

Unfortunately for others, they don’t quite see it that way. You see, I have a gift. One that isn’t exactly mine, but I can use it however I see fit. 

My gift is granting wishes. 

I'm a genie without a bottle, but it would be nice if people appreciated me more. All the humans ask for is the same thing… more food here, shelter there, kill these people, torture those. And I do it all, for a small price. 

I don’t ask for money or food, I can get that on my own. No, I want favors, souls, something that means everything for the other person. And they give it to me. Their momentary desire worth their long term happiness. 

But by the time they discover that, I’m long gone, already moved on to my next… client.

I know I look young, starvation and abuse will do that to a girl. Humans tell me that I shouldn’t be wandering out there alone. Some try to help me… most don’t. But whoever said I was by myself? Just because others couldn’t see them didn’t mean my demons ever left. I still hear their voices in my head, whispering words of encouragement and love. For them, I’d do anything. Kill anyone. Destroy anything. 

After all, life is just a game, right? Those still alive at the end of the day were the lucky ones. Those who died were not. Everything is just a game of chance, all a human has to do is roll the dice.

My only word of advice is to be careful what you wish for… you just might get it.

My name is Hattie, welcome to my world. 

Would you like a cup of tea?

Be Careful What You Wish For: A Zombie Apocalypse

Max stared at Dimitri as the rest of the guys around him remained silent, not one of them disagreeing with what that demon had said.

"Are you serious right now?" demanded Max, looking over to Luca to step in. Luca was the only one who could temper Dimitri's temper, but even he was keeping his mouth shut. "After everything we've been through? All the foster homes, all the beatings, the starving… everything that we have always had each other backs for for the past 20 some odd years… and this is how it ends?!?"

"Not our decision," shrugged Luca, his voice cutting through Max's heart like it was nothing. There was a long pause before Luca let out a long sigh, and Max felt a stirring of hope that maybe they would turn around, realize their mistakes, and go back to Réne and beg for forgiveness.

"De world 'as changed, little bro," chuckled Désiré. "Everyone is either gonna 'ave ta step up or step out. De choice is yours."

Where Are We Going?
