A cold, stale wind blows through the air. Clutching my massive shotgun, sweat falling down my face like a waterfall, I grimly run into the next room. Four zombie-like creatures with refuse dripping off their carcasses turn around, howling for my blood. Casually, I reach for my chain gun, then with a war cry, press the trigger down for several seconds as my former-companions' bodies fly apart, splattering against the wall behind them. The green toxic-waste that flows in trenches on both sides of the precipice on which I stand turns an ugly brownish color, mixing with the mutant blood of my old friends. Wiping the sweat off my brow, I check my inventory. Chainsaw? Maybe I should go find some meat or something. No. I'd better stick with the shotgun, it seems to crack the most pate. I prepare to trade weapons when I hear a shriek above me. Out of nowhere, two imps have smashed through a pile of offal and now stand on an elevated platform above me. Even from this distance, the flickering lights illuminate the fresh saliva which drips from their gaping maws. Tearing back their claws in fury, they simultaneously summon balls of pure energy and hurl them at me. Moments after they have left the imps' paws, the energy spheres burst into flames, making a loud, tumultuous noise. Cursing, I roll to one side and feel the heat of the explosion behind me, narrowly miss roasting my body into a crisped carcass. Taking out the rocket launcher, my coveted weapon, and screaming, "Eat death, you abiogenic mutations!" as loud as I can, I pull the trigger and let a rocket go flying towards my leering victims. The imps, albeit stupid, have very good instincts, and they both manage to avoid the projectile. Cursing, I prepare to fire another volley when suddenly, the rocket smashes into a waiting barrel of toxic waste which bursts into orange flames, roasting my two nemesi into hardened corspes. Screaming, and shrieking in stark pain, the imps fall off the precipice and land, face first, in a river of toxic acid, two stories below them. "Don't cross me, imps," I sneer, pointing a bloody hand at the writhing, lifeless bodies. "Or I'll break you!" Knowing that a pink muncher awaits me in the next room, I rev up my chainsaw and prepare to... find some meat. - - - - - Sorry if some people were offended by that account (for whatever reason). It was in response to the post about blowing a soldier out of a window with a rocket launcher.
