Your protagonist wakes up to find that they’ve lost several hours and there are signs that they’ve indulged in gruesome feeding while they were ‘away’.

In this prompt, writers should attempt to construct a narrative where the protagonist becomes a zombie and has intermittent memory losses, waking only to discover evidence of their horrifying actions. It can delve into the protagonist’s struggle to retain their humanity, the fear and guilt they may feel, and perhaps attempts to isolate themselves or find a cure. This prompt could stimulate thoughts on identity, shame, guilt, and personal ethics during testing times.
