Today was interesting. Girl, Dogg and I drove into the Denver city itself and what I saw this time was much different from what I saw several years ago when Dogg and I visited then. What use to be a bright and clear city was dark, dirty and dingy…
In fact it had a very bad feeling about it and everything inside of me screamed Vampire Zombie haven. Some kind of sticky web like substance had been spread between all the buildings very high up and it effectively blocked sunlight and made for a really spooky city…
We drove as far into the mess as we could and I was deciding that maybe our trip needs to be postponed. For the road in front of us was solidly blocked to cars. We got out and looked around, then Girl pointed and said that this is the building that we need to go to. It is the hall of records that will have the government documents that we are looking for. I stayed silent for a few minutes and I could sense the eyes of a million Zombies staring at us…
It was obvious that we were in a nest of Zombies and standing at it door right now. Dogg whined and looked at me as if we need to go. I understood his feelings, for the numbers of Zombies was a huge magnitude and even though we could not see them right now, we knew they were there…
Girl made the decision for us and decided to run for the building that we needed to go into. Before I could speak and say no, she was ripping a hole through the white, sticky web like stuff and trying to get to the front door…
I caught up to her and asked her as politely as I could, “What the hell do you think you are doing?”
She just grunted at me and said, “Either help or shut up!”
I shrugged and started to help her open a way to get to the front door of the building. After a few minutes we had a hole big enough and the three of us stood in front of the door to the government building. I kicked the door in and we laughed as we walked through the remains of metal detectors to look for weapons. I said sorry to the dead decayed Zombie guard laying on the floor and told him that I will be keeping my weapons… 🙂
We looked at a huge board of who is at what offices and what offices does and houses what…
Girl seemed to know what she was looking for and I and Dogg just followed along. She said 12th floor and off we went up the stairs…
On the twelfth floor we found the proper door and she tried the handle. It was open and we went in. It was so strange because everywhere we went in this building it was just like nothing happened and they just closed the place and never came back. The only dead body so far was the guard at the door. Girl proceeded to go through filing cabinets and I started to get an uneasy feeling. Dogg started to growl and Girl ignored us…
I watched Dogg go to the door we came in and stand out in the hallway. He had his head cocked to the side as if he was listening. Then I heard a scratching noise. I asked Girl did you hear that? She ignored me…
Dogg stood silently and listened and now I listened next to him in the hall. All of a sudden Girl yelled, “Hey I found it!” and then all hell broke loose…
I turned to Girl and said, “That is nice and hunky-dory! Hang on to that file for dear life and stay behind Dogg and I! We have guests and they look hungry as hell to me!” With that I shredded another set of clothes as my armor expanded and Dogg tore a hole in the ceiling as he became bear. He rubbed his head and decided that a huge wolf would be better and changed again…
Then we were swarmed with hundreds of Vampire Zombies and they wanted fresh blood…
I had pushed Dogg into the room with girl and told him to kill the ones that get by me and I told Girl to get the ones that get by Dogg. Girl was staring at my armor and seemed at lost for words. I guess she has not seen it as clear as she just saw it right now. Last time she was kinda beat up…
She shook her head and Dogg went “Bow Wow” with a wolfs howl behind it and I turned to the task at hand…
I was swarmed over with hundreds and hundreds of the blood thirsty creatures and my armor is the only thing that stopped them from draining my blood to the last drop. I had a surprise for them and that is my sword is blood thirsty also…
These Zombies are strong and these in Denver were exceptionally strong. I could feel the impacts as they tried to bite through the armor and saw many teeth snap as they tried to pierce my armor. I was going to have bruises again…
The sword drained the life blood from the Vampire Zombies, but if every last drop was not gotten out of the Zombie, then it slowly regenerated and fought again. So just stabbing them did not kill them. I had to slice them clean in half and make sure the head was severed from the body. Otherwise they kept getting back up…
The sword was singing its death song and was happy as a “pig in a mud waller!” It danced from Zombie to Zombie, as I also carved other Zombies up with my dagger, in my left hand. But the amount of Zombies was almost too great…
I pulled my shield from behind my back and used its power as a battering ram. The shield gives back 10 fold what it receives and as they slammed into me I shoved with all I had. The explosion sent Zombies flying down the hallway and a good portion of them where mushed up into a bloody mess of bones and gore…
I turned and saw that Girl and Dogg had all under control in the room and they killed all that got by me. I turned my attention back to the Vampire Zombies that were getting back up from the ground and just when I thought that they were going to attack again. They backed off even farther. Hmmm are they scared?
But no they weren’t scared! They just knew what I did not know and all of a sudden a huge Zombie ripped through the floor and grabbed me. It pulled me down through the floor and my dagger, shield and sword all stayed behind. We fell 12 stories through a hole that the Zombie made and ended up crashing into two more sub basements of the building. This giant meaty paw of the Zombie made a fist and smashed me into the concrete below me. He hit me a gain and again and again. Finally he hit me so hard that I went through the floor into another sub basement…
I was so so disorientated that I was not sure where I was or what was happening. Even through the armor I was taking a beating and this was one huge Zombie. The Zombie was ripping the hole in the floor that he punched me through bigger, so that he could get to me. That gave me the few seconds that I needed and I scrambled to my feet and ran like any smart person would do when someone 10 times their size would try to kill them. Run like hell!
I also believe when necessary: Run run away and live to fight again some other day! Well I only needed to catch my breath and then I would fight again…
My mind went to Dogg and Girl upstairs and then that became secondary because Super Zombie joined me as I ran away. I heard a Bear/Dogg roar from many stories up and I knew Zombies would pay dearly up stairs…
Now to stop this locomotive that was trying to kill me!
The Super Zombie round housed me and I went through three reinforced concrete walls. Ouch and then he tore the building down around us literally. I knew that if I did not stop this freight train that he was going to bring the whole building down before long. He was taking out support beam after support beam and how many before the building caves in? Then Ben Zombie inside of me spoke to me…
He said, “Call you Sword!” I said, “What?” Ben said, “Call your Sword you idiot!”
Then it struck me! My sword is part of me and it will come when I need it. It is always there, just call it…
So I called it…
The giant Zombie went silent and had a funny look on its face! Super Zombie fell face first and almost crushed me in the process. I scrambled just fast enough to keep from being pinned under it and as I stood up, I saw my sword sticking out from its back and happily draining the Super Zombie of its life force. The Zombie was in its way as it came to me and became a meal for my sword…
Then as I was getting ready to get my sword from the huge Zombies back. I was overcome with the jolt I get when I kill a Zombie god or any god for that matter…
I was smashed so hard that I ended up in the basement of the adjoining building. I lay in the ruble and moaned, “I am too old for this!” Then I heard a “Bow Wow” and a “Get up old man!” I then looked up and saw at the hole that I cam through a little Zombie killing Dogg and Girl who had the file in her hands…
I said or mumbled something like, help me up and lets get out of here…
So we drove back to the brick house and decided to stay another night. Before we left the city, I told Girl to look the other way as I retracted the armor and put on new clothes. Dogg just said “Bow Wow” and ran off to get a Zombie head real quick…
We would study the information that we found and hope it was what we needed. It is looking promising…
I am really getting tired of getting my ass kicked everyday anymore. I am not sure how much more beating I could have taken by that Zombie. He was stronger than anything I have encountered before. While my armor can take it, my body is only human and while I am stronger than any human before in the world. I am still flesh and blood and I really think that he was pound for pound stronger than I am. He was a upper god of immense proportions and it makes me wonder what I will run into. It also makes me realize that while I am that damn tough, something is always tougher and you have to use all at your disposal to win. Ben saved me and us! Yes it is good to have Ben back even if he is only inside my soul…
Thank you Ben the Zombie…
Talk to you tomorrow! Time to enjoy life as Dogg chases a Zombie down the street… 🙂
