Ben...I can still see his handsome, intelligent face so clearly as he became increasingly agitated, growling and whimpering while he circled and prodded my prostrate form, pleading for me to rise once again.Distant screeching sounds; hard breathing; rushing movement. I did not care. Let them take me! I could do no more. I was forever done. No more!Then it happened!Faster than thought, that stinking, crushing horde of vomitous undead raged full upon me with maniacal shrieking fury. I knew well that awful sensation, I had felt it before; that hungry swarm of insane man-eaters that would destroy without mercy, their malodorous breath hot upon my neck; their broken teeth ripping into my leather; those slashing, ripping, clawing brown nails digging into my face, knocking each other down in their horrid frenzy.I struggled against the ravenous creatures and pulled one gun from my vest, even as the screeching insanity enveloped me. I'm so sorry Kip!
