Shut-In Of The 'Dead'

Bronze WINNER of WPC#322: Male Lead: Zombie Invasion Takemi Kazuichi might very well be the luckiest and unluckiest person in the world. He was an orphan, and he was severely bullied in school. Because of that, he became a hikikomori, a shut-in. When he turned sixteen, he was adopted by a rich couple who loved him as if he was their own son. Unfortunately, they died in a plane crash, and Kazuichi never overcame his bad habits of being a shut-in, largely because of his preying relatives. Fast forward to four years later, Takemi Kazuichi still stayed in the house left by his late parents. He never bothered going to work or going out to socialize with people. For the lack of a better term, he was a rich hikikomori. He never even bothered to check the news or log in on any social media. All he did was live his life in solitude, devoid of any human interaction. One day, as he came out of the shower, he heard a strange thumping sound by the doorway. "That's weird, I didn't order any delivery today." He told himself before absent-mindedly opening the door. And what stared back didn't resemble a human at all. It was a zombie— or so that's what the first thing that came into Kazuichi's mind. Unbeknownst to him, the world had drastically changed, and he was the last one to know.

Dear readers, you might be wondering why I haven't been updating.

I wanted to update as much as I could, but I couldn't focus on writing since I've been going through a lot. My grandfather just died two days ago, in my arms. I don't know if I could've done something else, but he died due to heart failure. Right now, we're holding a wake for him, and I had to assist everyone as well as look after the wake from time to time.

I also had to be strong and put on a false bravado that I'm reliable enough. My aunt is having a hard time as well since she was there too when it happened, as well as my younger cousins. That's why I need to be strong. I only cry when I'm alone, and whenever I'm with them, I had to encourage them.

Honestly, I'm tired, I haven't had sleep for two days now, but I'm holding on. I need to be a pillar for them.

Once again, I can't stress how grateful I am for all of your support. Hopefully, I'll be back within the week. I'm going to update soon, please look forward to it. Slowly, I'll get through this.

Have a great read ahead. And I just want to give a gentle reminder of contacting your loved ones. Be it your parents, your siblings, your aunts, uncles, grandparents... contact them and express your presence to them. That gesture goes a long way :)
