Chapter 3,

Zombies in Training.

An: this will be told specifically from the point of a Smoker and boomer. The boomer has no name, but all his infected friends give him one. And the smoker, tells the story of how he became what he is today. (needed to take a break from the main story as had writers block on that, might even set it up so that the storyline follows them both! And them possibly.... wait and find out) also, I referred to the tank as Titan, as that is probably what the rest of the infected think of him as.

The feeling in my stomach almost too much to bear, I felt like I was dying. I had just come across a lame kind of infected that fires vomit which when it covers you, attracts insane amounts of zombies. I lost the fight, and the obese zombie attacked me.

I passed out, and next thing I knew, I woke up, grunting and making other strange noises. I tried to stop, and realised I couldn't although there was something that twigged in the back of my mind instantly: That was the noise that overweight weirdo made. Was I becoming one of them? I sure hope not! I blacked out again, thinking about this was all too much while the pain overwhelmed me. When I awoke next, there was a coughing and retching sound which came to me when I opened my eyes.

I looked around for the source, and saw a man with a disfigured face, and a tongue that was half hanging out and reached down to about where his heart would be. 'Wait a minute!' I thought, 'that thing is his tongue, how the heck can that be?' I decided to ask him, I spoke in what sounded like english to me, but to the other guy, as he later told me, it was infected speak, which apparently came naturally to anyone who became one of them, because I hadn't seen the dictionary yet.

So the long-tongued individual who had introduced himself as 'Sly,' sat on the edge of the building, and began to tell his story. "it was horrible," he said solemnly. "I was out for a walk with my dog, right before the infection happened. I felt the ground shaking under me, but assumed it was just an earthquake, and proceeded to return home." he looked down sadly. "turns out that was Titan, he is an over-active muscle-man who spent too much time at the gym taking steroids before infection." he laughed "but yeah, he ran at me, and crushed my dog like it was a rubber toy. He punched me, and as I was thrown back, I was caught by a rope. I thought someone had saved me, but I looked up and saw that it was not anyone I wished to be rescued by. A tongue, the same size as a small building was reeling me steadily in. I felt my health be sapped by the tiny leeches on the slimy slippery tongue. At first I didn't notice the slight health depletion, but I noticed after a while when I began to feel sleepy." he took a deep breath then continued. "i almost drifted off from feeling so weak, when the tongue suddenly let go" he looked shocked as he relived this terrible time. "i thought I was safe, but it soon became apparent why he released me. There was a hunter staring down at me. I was so weak from the smokers grasp that I simply passed out. When I came to, I was this" he motioned at himself.

The boomer looked on in awe as the story was told. When it was finished, he gazed sympathetically at the smoker called Sly. "and I thought I had it hard." he smiled. "Want to be friends? We could get back at those humans who didn't bother to save us." He held out his hand to show he was serious.

"but, we would be as bad as those who did this to us" he grinned "but man, its gonna be fun." he shook hands with boomer and said "whats your name?" boomer thought for a second "i dont have one."

Sly grinned "what about ZiT?" Boomer looked angry "I'M NOT THAT UGLY" Smoker couldnt help bursting out laughing. When he had finally stopped, he said "ZiT is Zombie in Training, your new to our world, so you need to learn basic survival, and most of all, how to be yourself and catch prey."

ZiT looked sheepish. "oh, right, but we workin together now?"

Sly smiled "definitely"
