The Box

They move like fish inside The Box, like piranhas.
You can see them calm, moving in circles or getting closer to the walls for some reason, waiting for something to happen.
They'll get nervous if they hear you or smell something like human or alive.

The reason why we don't kill them is because I wanna study them. I wanna know what they are, how they behave.

The box is a small room we built with wood pannels, bricks and some double windows we found in other buildings. We decided to build it one night while we were scouting on the roofs.
Someone decided it'd be more human if we just moved indefinitely into that room as soon as we were bitten.
I mean, imagine a zomb bites you. You're fucked up.
But you don't wanna die right away. What if there's a cure? you wanna wait for it!
If I have to be sincere, I think there's no cure at all, according to my experience, but you can consider this thing as a last wish for a good pal. So we went on with the idea.

We built the room but we found a loophole.
We knew how it worked and so we knew how to get out of it. Which means it wouldn't be safe for the healthy ones in case we were kept inside the thing.
And we didn't realize that until the first guy was bitten and thrown into The Box. When he made his way out of it and scared the shit out of us the same night.

Now I'm here, with two zombs walking in circles inside the room, imagining how it would be if they knew how easy it is to get out of The Box.
If you think "out of the box", it's the easiest thing ever. Even a kid would do it. But at the other side of the door it doesn't seem so easy to get away.
Again, they're like fish swimming in circles, ignoring the huge world out of the cage and how simple it'd be to leave it.
I just can't stop thinking of it...

Then I look at the door behind me and I wonder if I'm not in the same situation.
Maybe there's a way out of "here".
Maybe it's as simple as theirs.
But where to? how to? what is that "out of here" supposed to be? what is "here"?

I will never find it out
Just as they will always be in The Box.
