I’m Dead

Part 5

I slashed at the first skeleton. It fell down and broke into many pieces.

I slashed at the next skeleton. It fell and broke just the same.

I ran through the horde, killing many. No matter how many I killed, they kept on coming. I was surrounded and tired. I didn’t have much strength left to fight. Then something popped into my mind. I was doing the slashes and moves I had done this morning when I played. I suddenly felt a new strength. I stood up and started slashing with a ferocity I didn’t know was in me.

I kept on fighting. Slashing. Surviving. Slash, slash, parry, repose, parry, repose, slash, slash. I began to feel fatigued. I slashed at one very large skeleton. He blocked. I slashed again. He blocked and attacked me. I blocked and kicked him. He went sprawling. I ran and slashed his head off.

Suddenly all the skeletons started to screech. They started falling down and breaking. One by one they fell, until all of them were dead.
