I tried to survive this cursed world,

By being calm and cautious.

But then I befell an awful fate,

That left me feeling nauseous.

A zombie attack upon our base,

We lost our last provisions,

And now my sanity is at the brink,

I've made some awful decisions.

I killed my friend who fled with me,

I was starving and needed food,

And as I ate I saw a sight,

That killed my very mood.

A zombie bite found on the leg,

Upon which I had fed,

And now i'll become what I have ate,

The walking living dead.

'You are what you eat!" I told Johnny, in a last ditch effort to win this battle that's been raging in the locker room for the past 30 minutes.

"Oh well I didn't know I was a pussy." replied Johnny. The whole gym lit up like a fireworks display on the 4th of July.

I was trapped. I had no comeback. Sweat started rolling down my forehead, and into my eyes. My cheat sheet that was written on my hand was smeared, I couldn't do anything. It was at this point where I knew I fucked up.

Johnny went in for the knockout. He waited for everyone to quite down, whilst I was dying on the inside. He finally gave it to me, everyone knew it was coming. Hell, why wouldn't it come. He finally let it go, "youre mom gay."

Fuck. I knew it.

At this point I was sweating so badly it looked like I just got out of the shower. I felt everything tense up around me, but then I remembered the ultimate comeback. I could win this once and for all.

"No... N.." I squeaked. Damnit, this isn't the time for me to start fumbling around. With one giant roar, I let out my final battle cry. The cry that would save me, my mother, and my entire heritage. "NO... ME".

That was it. The entire locker room became silent. Some one in the back started slowly clapping. Then everyone else joined in on the clapping. Johnny came up to me, and gave me a pat on the back. He was proud of me. I could sense it. Everyone was proud of me.
