Well Ben is back and we are happy. I never thought I would be happy about having a Zombie live with us but it seems Dogg and I are happy. We got up in the morning and Dogg reminded me that we had a noise to find! A noise deep with in the bowels of the old power plant…
Ben does not sleep and he had breakfast already for Dogg and I. Now that was treat and it looked like Ben also has been cleaning the area we live in. I guess he will be good to keep around… 🙂
Now that other Zombies can not see, hear or think what he sees or hears or thinks, life is good…
After a great breakfast of scrambled eggs and ham we got together the weapons to go into the basement of the power plant. Ben wanted the Samurai Sword and that was it and I took my collection of ceramic machetes, the Spider Zombie was very fresh in my mind still…
Dogg grabbed his dead chicken toy and off we went… (I told him he would lose it!)
We wound down into the lower levels of the power plant and after about an hour we seemed to come to the end. It has all been explored by Dogg and I before and there just does not seem to be any lower levels. But Ben said he felt like there was. His senses which are different than a humans, are telling him that we are missing something…
The next thing I knew was that Dogg had found a soft spot in the floor. What should have been concrete was actually dirt and Dogg was digging and whining…
Ben and I looked at where Dogg was digging and helped Dogg dig. After about two feet of dirt was removed out of a square area that was 3 foot by 3 foot. We hit bottom. It felt like metal. We cleaned all the dirt out of the hole and found that we where looking at a metal door in the floor. It had a huge steel ring that was used to pull it open…
I pulled on the ring and the door did not move. But then Ben reached down and added a little help and the door came up a few inches. A stale dank odor came up from the crack that was opened and I said to get ready. I yanked as hard as I could and the door swung up and stayed open. The hinges were rusty and there was no danger of the door slamming back shut…
We peered down into the hole and all we could see was a metal ladder leading into the deep darkness. I said I forgot a flashlight and Ben said nope I brought one… 🙂
The beam from the light did very little to scare the darkness away in that hole. But I decide to descend the ladder and see what is going on at the bottom. I stated down and Dogg was really upset as he waited at the top. I got to the bottom and all I could see was a tiny white dot at the top of the ladder. I could just make out Ben’s and Dogg’s heads looking down at me. Or try to see me. I flashed the light at them to tell them I was okay…
I shined the light around and saw a switch on the wall near me. I flipped it and too my surprise lights came on. Just some lights, for many bulbs were burned out, but it made a huge difference and now I could see. I heard a noise above me and when I looked up I saw a Ben Zombie with a Dogg in one arm working his way down the ladder. Soon I was not alone anymore…
We all stared around and were discussing where to go next. Dogg seemed to think that we needed to go down a tunnel to the left. I wanted to go down the tunnel to the right and Ben decided that leaving was the best thing and started to climb the ladder. I grabbed him and said what a Zombie scared? He said. “Damn Right!”
Then at that moment a terrible rumble and moaning noise echoed through all the tunnels that we could see. Then the door at the top of the ladder slammed shut…
That just could not have happened unless someone closed it on purpose. We heard what sounded like something very heavy being pushed over top of the door. Well it sounded like we won’t get back out that way…
That is when Ben said, “We are all going to die!” I told him don’t be a doofus – Dogg and I will die, you are already dead. So no babies today and get your sword out and get ready to use it…
That is when we heard a scraping noise and Dogg let out his Zombie killing growl. I could see his titanium fangs glinting in the light…
Well that is it for today, I have got to go change some bandages on Dogg and I. Also Ben said it is time to eat. So I will finish the story tomorrow or the next day…
I am getting too old for this…
