Daddy?
Yes son.
What will you do if the zombies come for us?
Well my boy ill fight for you.
How?
Well ill use my strength my arms my legs, ill hopefully have a weapon, you know bud I won't let them get you.
If I have to die to save you I will.
Daddy, who will watch me then, if you die? He started crying, this i didn't expect, I felt very sad at his tears, for as I looked at him I could see true fear, not from the zombies, but from the loss he felt then of losing his daddy, I gathered him in my arms, I said your mom will make sure your ok, then I told him this,
If I die defending you my boy it'll be because I love you, he said but you'll be gone, I wiped the tears from his cheeks, ill never be gone from you son, not even death will take me from you, no man no zombies, death? Ill cheat, I said, he didn't understand, he's sleeping know, his head is still in my arms,
I will cheat,
I tell you this with complete unwavering conviction,
I will never leave him.
No... don't say it.
Yes you.
Ill never leave him.
Im not worried im not saying it to just say it.
I
Will
Never
Leave
Him.
