Excuses

As I walked through the valley of the shadow of death, I take a look at my life and realized there's not much left.
A boy yelled from the front row of the classroom
"Hey isn't that a song?"
"SILENCE!" I yawped over the children in my classroom.
Now back to the story, I felt like there was not much time left in my life, so I decided, I needed to do something, something adventurous, something crazy.
This is my story.

Normally I would be at home just playing computer games all day like any other teenager would. I think that's what all teenagers do, or I'm just utterly weird. But today the need of doing something exciting was exploding in my mind, I needed to do something. I put on some clothes, sprinted down the stairs, I felt like a crazed leopard. I burst out of the doors. I felt free, but then, It came. A scream that terrorized the people of my neighbourhood. So powerful and menacing it would make anyone cower in fear.
"CHARLES ALEXANDER DARWIN! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING?" screeched the foul beast
"I'm just going to, uh... take out the trash?" I hesitated
"YOU HAVE SCHOOL IN 1 HOUR GET YOUR THINGS READY NOW"
"Sorry mum. But I have a duty to fill" I sprinted away and disappeared into the trees, I was around 100 metres away but I could still hear the roar of the maniac.

I still didn't know what I was going to do, or where I was going. I decided I should go to the legendary shrine, where I am flooded by a wave of pleasure. The Arcade. I ran and ran through the dense forest, but then I stopped. The foul miasma of death overwhelmed me. I realized where I trespassed, a sea of the dead, a battlefield of the fallen, or as the casual people of today would say, The Town Morgue. I was careful on each step I would take, worried about the undead monstrosities. Suddenly the hair on the nape of my neck prickled and my body started to feel frozen. I heard a deafening wail and fell to my knees, hands on my ears and eyes closed tightly trying to withstand the terrible sound.

They started to crawl out of the earth itself, hands shooting out of the ground like lands mines. I ran further and further thinking it would make me safer, but I was wrong. I just went deeper into the plagued fields. I was surrounded and the only path left, was the one to the crypt. I dodged every hit of the zombies as I charged towards the crypt. Nearly there a zombie just popped up on the entrance, but I kept running and tackled him down. The monster exploded into bits of flesh and bone. In the crypt it was even more creepy than the fields, but it was safer, definitely safer... I think.

A shine of light appeared deeper in the crypt and due to me being easily distracted I slowly walked towards it and saw, the most beautiful weapon that I ever laid my eyes on. The one and only AK-47 just lying on a pedestal. I grabbed and knew what I had to do. BANG! The beautiful noises of the rifle as a I rolled out the crypt blasting all my foes. I picked a random direction and continued running debilitating the demons. There it was my freedom, my escape! I ran faster and faster mimicking a bull charging for a red flag. Something weird happened while I was charging that made me stop. All the undead froze in place and did nothing, so I decided to drop my gun and pranced with joy towards the exit. It was a huge mistake.
They all joined up together and formed a colossal monster with a weapon made of the bones of the dead and charged. I stopped prancing and ran, ran like the wind. I mean really. I was the wind I went off my feet and started running like a maniac. Thank god that the undead were dumb or else I would of never gotten out. They didn't bother to bend down through the gate, so they could not get through. The gate was breaking so I had limited time to get the hell out of there.

Everyone in the classroom laughed.
"That's your excuse of being late to class?" questioned my Teacher
"What do you mean excuse it's the truth!" I replied with rage.
"You expect me to believe that you were fighting hordes of undead creatures?" she said
"Yes." I quickly replied.
"Go to principal office right now!"
"BUT IM..." I was interrupted by the sound of crashing. The colossal menace must of caught my scent and followed me back to school I thought. Everyone screamed at the beast, I couldn't do anything but just say to everyone.

" I told you so."
