The Cleansing Game

A absolute darkness nothing can be seen as A noise begins to stir, A moan something ghastly seems to have awoken. In this darkness we hear another noise this noise the sound of A groan, the groaning of A young man regaining consciousness. The young man tried to speak he fumbled over his words clearly waking from A deep sleep. The Moan from earlier began to sound like A hoarse breathing that began to accelerate in breath making the young man call out "is somebody there?" The breathing changed to screeching as the the noise began moving closer to the young man who than began to panic scrambling for something anything his instincts paid off for he found that something A large piece of jagged metal the only descriptions of what he just found that could determine with absolute courage he swung in the direction of the noise to which he missed hearing the noise move behind him to which he swung all the way around with the large piece of metal striking the noise as it screeched, wailed as the young man struck the noise who just keep coming back for more till the young man could not muster another blow falling to the ground the noise was no more. "What in the hell was that." The young man breathed through his words "Where am I?

Searching through the black A red light erupted out flashing where as A large horn started blaring being blinding by the flashing light no short of being deafened by noise the young man was having enough adjusting the flashing lights he made out two bodies to which they were waving back at him "Hey come with us dude!!" one of them shouted over the blaring noise the young man not having any better options began running towards them as he could now only make out that one of them was A taller guy while the other was shorter them himself. As he fallowed close behind through A large hanger door he began to run down A large metal corridor. The young man was beginning to think he was inside A underground base not much to go on but he however noted the white numbers painted as the went on by before reaching A large blinding light. He was outside among some of the largest trees he was ever see accompanied by so much foliage before he could take it all in the shorter guy was in his face "Why where you the only thing in the Cache!?" the short red haired man was very innate with the young man but before the young man could answer the taller man began to speak "it doesn't matter we can go back in after everything is all settled, he can't be the only thing in there." The young man had enough blurting "Tell me what is Fuck on!" both the men turn toward him from what could of been talking or arguing "I'm Lawrence, you can call me Lawrl." pausing between his words "You're in the Cleaning Game." The young man spat out "Cleaning game?" before anything else he blurted "That thing, with the noise?" Lawrl laughed "Yeah that was what we in all of society call A zombie crazy right?"

The young man was stunned when the short man began to speak "Just wait till you start to remember stuff, I think we found our selves A new player in the game." Lawrl face the short red head "By the way this is Rowan." after introducing the man who just spoke "No they always announce the new players also this guy was hidden they haven't hid any players, well until now?" The young man seized his chance to speak "My name is Dylan, I'm A new player in the Cleansing game where we kill zombies?" Rowan answered him before Lawrl had A chance to speak despite being geared up for it "That's right you where kidnapped off the street like the rest of us, forced to cleanse this area of all the infected." Not fully accepting everything he was hearing Dylan was full of questions "How many of us are there?" Lawrl spoke "twenty-four well not 25 of us now counting you." the boy didn't take anytime between the Q&A "Who did this?" Rowan answered first "Well there was A zombie infection A couple years ago affected only A number of small Islands nothing major till it jumped over A little to close to the boarders of main civilization " Dylan grabbed his head as Rowan began to talk "Whatever they pump into us should be wearing off of you by now remembering any of this?" Lawrl spoke before Dylan had A chance "Ro we couldn't remember dick till almost A month being here." to which Dylan responded "More or less actually it feels like I woke up from the real world, yeah the last war that unified the world right?" Rowan laughed "See he already remembers that much!" Lawrl who was also laughing till it died off "alright we can do this after we get back to our camp stay here to long and we'll end up fighting something we need to check for supplies in the bunker."

Dylan who was full of memories not to mention questions agreed leaving all the foliage behind fallowing both Men back from wince he came Rowan lit A flare "The lights should turn on soon, don't like being in total darkness." Lawrl spoke right after Rowan "So Dylan how did you kill the zombies guarding the cache?" Dylan only repeated "Zombies?" to which Lawrl let out "Oh you didn't get any of them?" Dylan stopped "No there was only the one." To which both men stopped "One?" Lawrl stopped where Rowan picked up "A Howler?" Pausing they both shook their heads all men silhouetted by the orange glow of the flare "There is no way you took down A Howler all by yourself." said Lawrl as both man looked up and down Dylan stature A big secure frame A large young man with Dirty blond hair "We'll just have to see his hopefully the lights will." with the Rowan was interrupted by blaring white over head lights started up "you really have no patience huh Ro?" Lawrl laughed as he started running "First one to the Supplies gets the first pick!" Dylan alarmed by this started running after him which sparked Rowan running. Dylan couldn't help but think this kind of system was quite unfair but unless he wanted to fight the two men he had to cooperate with them and as far as he could tell he was actually having A little bit of fun?

As he got back to the large room he had awoken in it was A giant junk pile "you call this A cache? " Dylan remarked getting there after Lawrl but before Rowan "Yes these are junked rooms but it's what they put inside them that is the wonder "Lawrl Already had A large black backpack A sniper rifle and two hand guns from what Dylan could see "Hey bet we can find you A gun here, you're going to need it." Lawrl who had walked behind one pile coming from behind another "Unless you don't like guns?" Dylan spoke walking among the debris "I don't really know how to shoot." Both Lawrl and Rowan could be heard in dismissal "I can use A sword and many other weapons besides though." Dylan spat in defense "Well can you use A Machete? " Rowan asked "Yeah I'm pretty sure I could manage" replied Dylan in some confusion "Well I just found one throwing it to Dylan's feet A black case with laid before him on the ground picking it up he affixed it to his leg with the straps "Not much here besides knives and bullets and crap!" yelled out Rowan "well it's to be expected I bet it wasn't even A full Howler otherwise I don't care how big you are it would of torn you to shreds." As Rowan and Lawrl were both complaining about the Cache Dylan was rather pleased that he got A weapon not just that but one he can actually use before the three could really relax A echo of screeches came to them from up ahead "Damn Lawrl, I told you there was nothing and now we are cornered!" Lawrl who looked at Dylan not at Rowan " alright stay together can't tell how many there are with the echoed not to mention distance." taking out his sniper rifle "Luckily we got the lights on otherwise this could be A challenge" Lawrl said with A smile Dylan was flabbergasted how could he be smiling grabbing his Machete "Dylan stay with us only attack if necessary we need as many hands as possible" Rowan standing with Dylan "Lawrl's going to pick them off as they come, I'm covering you we're the only one's with Ammo and guns."
