I needed to go the mall to get some groceries. Omfg. It's like I was walking amongst the dead. I came from a sunlit freedom and entered into a labyrinthe reigned over by a dark sombre spirit. Everywhere were concealed beings, once living flesh, now expressionless, floating along in total silence, casting malevolent glares at my intrusion. There is something about the way the eyes hover above the mask, penetrating you without a facial expression to match. A few brave young men of normal appearance retained their souls, wandering through the mass of undead like myself. Oddly many young children also smiled and spoke without constriction, yet their handlers were of the masked demons.. perhaps they feed on them. The thugs so willing to break the laws of our former world were likewise muzzled. They assayed to maintain their thug-like saunter but their facade was over. The thugs disappointed me the most. The women were all as one. Once I would have joked that all women should be gagged, but now the joke is on me, for I cannot tell which ones are hot or not anymore.
