?:"well i don't know when it happened, but as it was things were bad enough, terrorist threats left and right, gas prices through the roof and infighting in countries around the world, so nobody was surprised when an outbreak of flu happened but nobody could stop what happened next…..i was making my way to mercy hospital, a evacuation center right in the middle of my hometown, it was about the only landmark we had and the site of patient zero, this poor fucker had came down with some bit of flu, but what was the worst is that it turned anyone who came in contact with blood,spit,or the odd airborne spores,well that was sort of normal but what it did to them was not, the symptoms were fever, chills, delirium, and a craving for human flesh….yeah i couldn't believe it myself ether literal zombies… but after a few weeks the whole city,the whole world was wrought with this new infection and with it new mutations, from reading the journals of other survivors i have found zombies that would even be called nightmarish, a hulking zombie the size of a minivan and can throw said minivan, a zombie that can hop,skip,leap from roof to roof only to come down on a human to rip him to shreds, all deadly, none human, what the infection did was targets important organs and then turns them into sludge, then it hits the brain, turning off all motor functions and leaving you a vegetable but after a few minutes you'll rise up a new man, a new zombie ready to spoon someone's brains out, but i digress on to mercy hospital"
(time lapse) 5 minutes
?:"shit(slams door shut)ok that was close, damm horde always coming right when you exit a building,(sigh of relief)well at least i'm here now easy wal-"
(crying)
?:"(thoughts)is that,in here…..shit"
(crying getting louder)
?:"(thought) shit shit she's getting closer,(reaches for his bat) damm its toast, well fuck, no weapons and shit out of luck"
(crying turns to growling)
?:"(thoughts)oh please no not that there's a nice bloody stake down the hall in the room marked fuck you"
(growling turns to screams of rage)
?:"no no no no no no no no n-"
(he finally comes face to face with the thing that caused so much fear, a witch, and not the potion throwing, broom riding, water melting witch but the zombie version, with razor sharp nails the size of a metal pole and a real anger problem)
?:"(he says one word before he passes out with fright)shit"
witch:"(thoughts) a human, he seems to still be alive…. Maybe he can help me get this chain off(she looks behind her to the counter were she was stuck to by a foot long chain, she doesn't remember how she got traped, all she reambers is some people exiting the room saying something about a church…. But oh yeah the human, he's passed out as far as i can tell, ha maybe from hearing about how scary witches are….well did i have to growl and get close to him well i could have left that out, but was i supposed to do say hey dude can you help me get this chain off and i'll let you get out off this room and then we call it even….well looks like i'm going to have to wait for him to wake up"
(time lapse) 1 minute
?:"(wakes up with a start)what i'm not dead(does a quick body check)i'm not bitten and i've got all my parts wh-"
(he gets cut off by the movement in the corner of the room, it's the witch and she is growling)
?:"(thoughts)fuck she must be sizing me up or waiting for the killing chance, well im not letting her"
(he does a quick scan of the room, finding a weapon or at least something to delay the inevitable, a microwave, a tv in the far corner, and a chain placed haphazardly near the witch...and the he remember the bolt cutters in his pack, it may be a crude weapon indeed but it will get the job done, he reaches for his pack only stopping when the witch moved,he had finally gotten the chain cutters when the witch got up from were she was and started walking/shuffling towards him)
?:"(he pulls the cutters the rest of the way towards him and lifts it above his head ready to bring it down over the witches)
(but she stops and just out of swinging distance….the witch looks at him cocking her head to the side like a dog would do, he now realizes the he probably looks dumb doing it, him, luging this big utility item over his head in an effort to use it as a makeshift hammer, but he doesn't care this is survival he'd use his own shoes as makeshift nunchucks if he'd have to but that was just ineffective now that he thought about it, a sound emanates from the witch that sounds like laughing or some sort of snickering, great even the witch thinks i look like a idiot, well she's about to find out that this utility item is heavy and deadly, he closes the distance and is about to bring the head of the cutter down when the witch falls on her ass and holds her hand up like she could block the blow,he doesn't care he was about halfway to breaking her head open when he heard something he never thought he'd hear, the witch chokes out a word that he managed to translate into)
Witch:"no"
(this made him stop, he in all his time never heard a infected talk not even a witch, his eyes only now meeting the witches he sees not rage not sadness but fear, this made him drop the makeshift cutter-hammer he only now realized that this witch wasn't some big evil that the infection may do eat humans but they have to, to survive like him, he had killed many of her kind just to get to the food store just for survival,he retreated into the corner of the room to think on this whole scene)
