Trapped in a Memory by Madison Randolph
Each of his ears had rotted away, and yet he continued to hear. His gums had receded and many of his teeth were broken, but he continued to consume. A ceaseless moan kept his dry mouth open. Stuck in the middle of the hoard, the others jostled him causing bruises and welts.
Why won’t I die?
Memories of his family and former life played like a movie across his eyes. Sometimes a sound brought a song to life. A certain scent created a feeling, eyes wanting to cry.
His body would slowly decay, but he feared his mind never would.
