It was oddly silent
as I walked carefully
through the structure.
I listened carefully
to make sure
my ears were not at fault.
No sounds of continuous gun fire
or screaming zombies.
Sounds that had become
part of life in recent days.

The game was over.
Or perhaps...
...the kids had gone back to school.

I know that feeling well :-)
Nicely done.
woo hoo. I can relate. lol. mine's up.
In our household when my son was young there was no quiet at "game over" because the new game began in nearly the same instant as the the one before ended.
I longed for the quiet of school days. :)

I like your style! The twisty thing!
Sounds just like my house, LOL! A terrific 55, MM!
LOL!!! Thank God for school!
Kids...Zombies.
Does it matter?
They both drain the brain!
Excellent 55 MM.

Another one of your sly zingers. Nice work, Monkey Man. I lost Friday in a discombobulation of days, so mine is up today. It's also a ghoulish piece.
Happy Birthday to Mrs. MM
My kids are looking at me as though a Zombie replaced their ideal mom....
Ha!
I don't have children and yet I understand... probably because I work with the children of parents who wanted them out of the house over the holidays. :)
Ok Monkey, good post as usual however .... your picture will be keeping me up tonight. Gross!!
As I read this, the sounds of Left for Dead are ringing in my ears . . .
Good 55! It leaves quite the visual.
I just posted my 160.
hey my 160 is up. will be back by in a bit.
brains... must eat brains...
OK, I can't even hack the controller on LFD2. Damn. I'm getting old, I used to kick but at just about everything. When did they come up with controllers with 72 different things you have to do at once??
