Eric stood up from the air mattress "isn't there any other game besides Halo 2 that we could play, I mean we've been playing this game for hours man aren't you bored with it?"
Danny put down his Xbox controller and turned off the Xbox "yeah, now that you mention it. Hey wanna watch Land of the Dead?"
Eric shook his head "nah, remember we watched that a few hours ago?"
"Oh yeah, sorry I forgot. How about the new version of Dawn of the dead? I don't think you've seen that movie yet." Danny said.
"Sure, lets watch it," Eric said. Danny stood up to search for the DVD atop his TV stand "did you see where I put the DVD?" Danny asked.
"Yeah, it is by Land of the dead remember." Eric said with a grin. "Shut up," said Danny pulling the DVD down and putting the disc in his playstation 2 " I would have found it you know."
"I know, but I didn't want to wait and besides its not like you didn't know where it was anyway, all you do is watch those damn zombie movies" said Eric with a shake of his head; "hey those are some good movies," Danny said to Eric with a serious look.
"I agree but I mean come on you have all the zombie movies ever made in DVD and VHS," said Eric. "So, you have all the matrix movies," said Danny. Laughing Eric says, "Ok, were even." Laughing Danny and Eric sit on the edge of Danny's air mattress and start to watch Dawn of the dead.
Twenty minutes go by when Danny's mom, Marla, yells.
Danny jumps up from the mattress and charges out of the room "Mom, what's wrong?"
Eric jumps up and runs after Danny "dude what's wrong?" Danny turns to Eric, his face pale, "Dude, remember when I said someday there would be something that made zombies?" With a chuckle Eric nods " yeah, but that was all a bunch of bullshit too."
"Not anymore," Danny said "Look at the TV and see for yourself." Eric looks at the TV and his face goes pale "Holyshit!" yelled Eric "What the fuck happened?"
Marla looks to Eric "I don't know what happened, I was watching Judge Judy when all channels were turned to a presidential announcement. President Bush came on and told all of America that the dead were coming back to life to kill and eat the living."
Danny laughs and shakes his head "damn, this is like a fuckin movie." Eric looks to Danny and sees the glint in his eyes "Oh you can't be serious."
Marla looks at both of them "what are you talking about Eric?" Eric looks to Marla " Danny said that if anything like this were to happen we would go out hunting." Marla turns white " Danny there is no way in hell you and Eric are going "hunting" for them," pointing to the screen " they would kill you in an instant."
Danny shakes his head " Don't worry mom I wont." Danny walks down the hallway back to his room and closes the door. Eric and Marla listen and hear Disturbed's song 'Guarded' playing very loudly.
"What the hell were you talking about Eric, about hunting zombies and all?" Eric looks from the TV to Marla " me and Danny always talked that if this ever happened we would get our families and fort up or we would get ready for a fight." Marla goes double white and starts crying "oh god! Danny's father is still at work." Eric turns to walk down the hall back to Danny's room "Ill tell him."
Eric opens the door to Danny's room "so what's the plan?" Danny looks up from tying his boots "get that battle-axe off my wall and all the swords, were going to go get my father and your family."
Eric grins, "just like we planned huh?" Danny nods "Hell yeah, the only part of this that is disturbing is that this is real-life not just some teenagers daydreams."
Eric nods "yeah, at least we have weapons until we make it to a gun store." Danny laughs "yeah, but I still get my battle-axe."
