After reading some High School of the Dead stories, I decided to try and write bout something I planned for. I own nothing except for my COD: Modern Warfare 2 T-shirt.

A lot sure has changed.

I looked around the airport, seeing almost no one. Mostly staff screwing around.

Should be busier than this.

Back in America, I was hearing rumors of a new worldwide pandemic. Not thinking much of it, I traveled to Japan, knowing about how much they panicked about diseases. After serving in The Corps, I took my retirement and started traveling wherever I felt. Rank has its privileges. I walked up to the currency exchange, did my business and started looking for a cab.

Thank God there's more people. I thought this place was dead.

I couldn't get a cab, something about foreigners, so I jogged a few blocks, looking for a hotel. Luckily, I was in a tourist hotspot and found one in no time at all. After checking in and heading up to my room, I examined my luggage, legal and otherwise. If there's one thing I learned from boy scouts, it's being prepared. I pulled out my Ruger Mk II internally suppressed variant. No use in alerting the authorities. I had gotten it during a joint operation with Seal Team 10.

Good as new. No surprise there.

I dropped the magazine, pulled back the slide a few times, aimed it at a soda can and pulled the trigger. CLICK.

Man I love that sound.

I reloaded the magazine and stuffed the pistol into the safe. Next I pulled out my old service Ka-Bar. I did a quick sharpness test. Finding it to my liking, I put it back in its sheath. Then I pulled out my personal favorite. My Ruger Vaquero chambered for .357 magnum with a blued finish and custom oak wood grips. I had personally modified it for speed shooting. Sure people laugh at me for using a six-shooter instead of a plastic handgun, but they stop laughing when they realized how fast I shoot. I was lucky to get it past customs. I had to smuggle it in through a diplomatic bag, but it was worth it. I stowed it back in its holster and putt it in the safe. After taking care of some other goodies I finally found the time to sleep.

I am beat.
