Speech

Author's Note: This is a speech about how lines from my zombie apocalypse piece help propel the story forward. 

The first line I chose from my piece is:

"What have we become, we feeble humans, where we let the dead take over us?"

I chose this line because I believe it sets up the whole story. It kind of calls for an explanation. 

The second line I chose is:

"I'm just...hollow. Why is this happening? What have I done to deserve this? A feeling of pure hatred bubbles up inside me."

This line really tells you a lot about the main character, because it shows you how protective and brave she is to want revenge. 

The last line I decided to use is:

"My cries catch in my throat and I feel completely helpless. I suck it up, grab my gun, and kick the doors open, where the zombies await."

This is the last line in my story, and I chose it because it's open-ended. Anything can happen after it. It leaves you hanging, but you can imagine whatever you want.
