I was in darkness with red flashing letters in front of me.

You are zombie food! You have two lives left. Do you wish to continue from where you left off? You have twenty seconds to decide.

Jesus. The pain. The terror. My head was swimming.

Goddamn it. Killed on level one. How could I have let that happen? Fuck.

“Yes”, I said. “I want to continue.” Of course I wanted to continue.

The black disappeared and I was in the mix again. Gunshots, moans, blood splatter, severed heads flying through the air, blood curdling screams, raging red undead eyes, and the maniacal eyes of the living as well.

I had come back to life-so to speak-and this time I was on the inside of the circle. My place on the outside had been taken by the guy who was behind me. He briefly acknowledged my presence just before he brought his massive club down onto a zombie head, squishing it like a watermelon, the blood and brains hitting me even though I was standing several feet away.

“Good of you to join us again”, he said.

The circle was slowly but surely pushing through the horde. We were like a slow moving bullet, puncturing this writhing mass one undead at a time. I could see the others had learned from my mistake and were being careful not to trip over the undead at the front of the circle.

I could see Sara, the elf woman whom I had got the impression would not say boo to a goose. She was on the outside circle, stabbing like a madwoman, covered from head to toe in red as if she had been thrown into a bath of blood. If I was not mistaken, that was a smile on her face. I knew the feeling, I had just been experiencing it a few seconds ago. In the zone, in the flow, more alive than you had ever felt in your real life, killing anything that got in your way. She was a beast, a zombie killing bad ass. It was like they said, it was the quiet ones you had to watch out for.

I looked through the circle to see what else was happening. I could make out helicopter gun man amongst the horde. It appeared he was going to down with the new found love of his life in his hands. There was a circle of zombies around him that had been reduced to pieces of skin and flesh with his one thousand rounds, but now he was out of ammo, the barrel spinning uselessly as the undead horde sprang upon him, the gun far too heavy and cumbersome to act as a club.

“Back at it kid?”

It was Ted, on the inside of the circle, taking a rest, covered in splatter.

“Yeah.”

“You came back after those fuckers made a meal of you-they got me not long after you fell, so I’m down a life too. I’m guessing not too many players wanted to keep playin’ after they found out what it’s like to have Z eat you alive.
