a accidental discovery

People were frightened; holed up in basements, cowering in windowless rooms, staying away from windows and refusing to turn on any lighting at any time.  The cities of earth were darkened silent husks of their former selves.  months had passed since the initial outbreak of the KPVirus and the damned wondered aimlessly around the locations that had once been important to them.  It was hard to tell if any memory of their former lives remained.   If one took the time to notice you may realize the areas most frequented by the ghoulish stalkers were the places most familiar in their pre-zombie state, the malls, Starbucks' and fashionable clothing stores were never without a considerable compliment of living dead.  The Lure, as it was latter dubbed, was discovered quite by accident.  Perhaps an act of stupidity, perhaps a simple accident, but somehow there was music, sudden and terrifying after so long with naught but silence.  The sudden song was not very loud but in that land whose only noise was the moaning and shuffling steps, it sounded like a bull horn.  It was not the first sound in all those months nor the loudest, but it had the greatest reaction.  All of them, from every part of the city, even those who were too far to have heard began to converge, like the Pied Piper, this music had the ability to draw the zombies form great distance.  The people of the city for the first time in a very long time felt relief as they saw the constant threat moving away.  This was a form of power, an ability to exert any kind of control over the horror that stalked the streets, it was her voice, the music of Katy Perry would draw the creatures towards its source.  perhaps what they say is true, once a fan always a fan.
