Tales of Zombies (in Inverse Haiku form)

The zombies arrived at dawn.

My neighbors still slept.

That day they awoke undead.

————————————

My family of warriors

was one of the last

These are the tales of our doom.

————————————

My mother threw a hand grenade.

The zombie blew up,

but its blood got in her mouth.

————————————

Killing zombies with shotguns,

my arm was bitten,

so, weeping, I hacked it off.

————————————

Later, I saw my mother,

dead-eyed and bloody,

and slit my wrist in despair.

————————————

Nora burned out the stairway.

Zombies kept creeping

but fell into the basement.

————————————

Fearing the pit of zombies,

Nora stayed upstairs.

Eventually, she starved.

————————————

My dad was the most clever.

He fled to the coast

and began to build a boat.

————————————

One day, wading through the driftwood

 he found a U-boat

from Russia, full of corpses.

————————————

Not as dead as they had seemed,

the Kremlin zombies

leapt at him and ate his brains.
