23

Can’t believe this shit.

I was the center of media’s attention ’til these illiterate piss moaning blood-drunk flesh bags showed up. What makes them so special anyway? What are they doing that hasn't been done before? They're sloppy, careless. No real effort or drive other than brute instinct.

I'm an artist. I deserve the spotlight. I've saved so many people from turning into those tasteless creatures, transformed them into masterpieces instead. If they were still alive, they'd thank me. The way I sliced the skin around their scalps, the precision, the steadiness of my hand. Slowly, gently, like a lover's caress. Can a zombie appreciate its prey, the way they rip, shred and devour? I doubt it. No… this is my art. I am an artist.

I'm a fucking God.

I'm about to create something masterful tonight. Maybe it'll get their attention. The Zombie Killer strikes again! The victim? Officer Ortiz. Stupid pig… thought she had me. Thought she had it all figured out. Poking around, asking her questions, tracing her steps back and forth, back and forth. I still don't know what gave me away and at this point, I don't care. It's not like she could do anything now. Idiot went out and got herself bit. I can hear her screaming as I write, gurgling, gagging on her own rot and spit. She won't stop clawing on the basement door. Gonna have to get it replaced soon. Something more sturdy than wood; I'm thinking steel.

Claw that, bitch.

She's turned now, I'm sure of it. This will be my first taste of ‘undead’ brain. Kind of ironic, considering the name I made for myself when the world was still… well, human. The Zombie Killer: 22 missing, 13 found. Blood drained, victims scalped, brains removed, believed to be consumed. They never even found my best works. What a shame. I’m no longer the scariest monster, but that's gonna change tonight. It's time to create the most monumental masterpiece this shit-stain of a world has ever seen. Number 23. People will bow to it. Bow to me.

Zombies... what a joke.

I'll give them an apocalypse they'll really fear.
