Mitch looked at Foz and then back at Hotswap.
‘Not possible, no way,’ said Mitch.
‘Yes way. There’s been a mistake.’
‘No, no mistake. I got there straight away, in fact, Hots, I was there when the poor bastard was still alive, ...I saw him die, this is your man.’
‘No, Meeds, I know this is the one who had the little accident, what I’m saying is, the accident should have been someone else’s.’
‘What?’
‘Yeah, it seems the forms went over to the–’
‘Hots, ...I don’t want to know.’
‘Of course, of course, very wise Meeds, very wise. Anyway, well, let’s just say there was a fuck up. Red faces all round, but well what can you do? C 'est la vie.’
‘C 'est la vie? That’s all you got to say?’
‘I don’t follow?’
‘Look, I can’t say I’ve warmed to the fella,’

‘Who... what...’
‘Hello down there,’ said Hotswap, beaming, ‘don’t get up.’
Foz looked up to the sky and then back at Hotswap.
‘Was that, ...you?’
‘It sure was, cowboy.’
‘I saw wings, you had–’
‘Foz,’ said Mitch, ‘don’t ask questions, don’t think about it, you didn’t see anything.’
‘That’s right’ said Hotswap, with a smile, ‘you must have imagined it.’
His fur coat lifted a little behind his shoulders.
‘A miracle, a miracle, an angel!’
Foz threw himself forward to his knees, his couch tipping up behind him.
‘Oh my saviour! You are an angel, aren’t you?’
‘In the flesh,’ said Hotswap, his eyes ablaze.
‘Help me please,’ said Foz, crawling forward and grabbing Hotswap’s legs, ‘I’ve been kidnapped. I’m here against my will.’
‘Deary me,’ said Hotswap. He bent down and pushed Foz back onto his casters, ‘such soft upholstery, I do love that distressed worn-in feel. You just can’t get that upstairs.’
‘Help me, please help me,’ pleaded Foz, ‘please, pl...’ his voice tailed off as close up he noticed the lack of movement in the angel’s hands and the fur coat’s black iron armrods.

‘Hots,’ said Mitch, ‘Hots, stop goofing around.’
‘Who’s goofing, I’ve been stuck out here since Tuesday waiting for you boys. Hots wants his tot of Rum…’
‘Please get off,’ said Foz, now feeling the angel’s clawhand make its way to the back of his head, where it briefly cradled him before gripping his hair tight, painfully so, holding him in position as the angel eyed his lips.
‘Well why did you make me drag him all the way out here?’ said Mitch, ‘Why didn’t you just come to the death site?’
‘Thought you’d already be on your way,’ said Hotswap, still trying to plant a smacker, ‘even out here I was beginning to think I’d missed you.’
‘Look, put him down, Hots.’
‘Put him down? But he’s got me,’ said Hotswap and he swung his legs up onto Foz’s lap, ‘Come on cowboy, you know you want to.’
‘No, no, let go of me you ...fuckin angel fag,’ said Foz.
‘Oh yes, I like that dirty talk,’ said Hotswap, pulling Foz even closer, ‘you know you’re asking for a spanking.’
‘HOTS,’ said Mitch.
‘Oh alright, suit yourselves,’ said Hotswap, and he

    As I stared across the bullet-torn battlefield I wondered how I ended up here; hiding behind a crumbling wall, clutching my gun as though it were a lifeline. How the young kid I'd once been now bore a dirty, camouflage patterned uniform. There I was, contemplating my life in the middle of a battle. I shouldn't have been surprised when a hand suddenly shot out in front of my face and smacked me upside the head. It was so unexpected that I nearly stumbled out from behind the rubble and right into the bullet whizzing by.…

    Suddenly Zaroff jumped up and pulled out a hand pistol underneath his pillow, holding it to Rainsford's forehead. “Now if only it was that easy,” Zaroff said. ”I’ll give you two options we can go for around two or I could easily just end it all for you here now, I got six bullets but only need one.

    It had been just about three months since the walls first went up. The government thought that they would contain the virus, and keep those who were infected trapped inside and calm, but it only did the opposite. The infected didn't stay calm, they got angry, and the angrier they became, the stronger they became (or at least those who survived the infection). The infection seemed to affect everyone differently. Sometimes it would leave them dead in a matter of days, but sometimes, sometimes it would leave its victims different than they were before.…

Fisting the blonde teenagers hair in his palm, the Psyhciatrist bucked his hips up of the sofa, completely lost in the pleasure and his thoughts of Emily Harris. Never in his life would he have dared to treat Beth as roughly, but she wasn't Beth, she was a teenager who desired the man to take control, and as he re-opened his eyes, he could only the schoolgirl's visage, and was unable to talk through the pants and groans coming from his mouth. Pushing down on her head, he almost ripped hair from her scalp as he slammed his meat in and out of her mouth time and time again, feeling her sailiva coat his shaft, and subliminally hearing the gaps and coughs…
