#2 of Abandoned Storys

<-WARNING-> This story has BAD spelling that I didn't bother to correct...

One day when I was playing some text based adventure games and reading some stuff,

I decided to try and write another APOC story~

THIS TIME WITH MUTANTS!!

I got into a writers block in about an hour, then didn't want to write anymore...

So enjoy~ ^_^


"WELCOME!" An overly excited robotic shop keeper crys out to the figure that pushes the heavy steel door open and then slaming it shut behind them, their whole body heaving as they pant for breath.

"Can I in--n--ntest you in a vile of the wonder cure PX - 223? Tests show that this drug can cure ALL know ailments and even extend your life! You can have YOUR OWN INJECTION for only twenty easy payments of ni-ni-ninty nine ninty nine." The strager ignrores the pharmecy clerc bot, instead walking further into the store, his heavy combat boots crushing broken bottles and spilled boxs of junk food, his black furry tail hanging limp and draging on the floor behind him. As he walks up to the refrigorated section of the store, he sees that, thankfully, the Automated security systems have managed to keep looters out, as he looks he notices his reflection in the shiny clean glass, his torn millitary jacket and pants are covered in blood, his gas mask emmiting small clouds of mist everytime he exhales, his orange eyes shining thru the glass screen. He sighs and reaches forward, opening the glass door and grabing a box of nutrient tubes, as he closes the door he reaches into his pocket and fishes around for a credit chit. He steps towards the counter where the mechanized clerc stands at attention, quickly placing the box and chit down infront of the clerc, it quickly grabs and scans the objects before handing them back with a happy little chirp.

"Thank you for your service today, and everyone here is proud that you are out there fighting the good fight for us soldier!" The man grabs the box with a sigh, opening it up and grabing a tube and poping it open, he raises it to his mask and grabs a small straw then proceding to drink up the grey flavorless goo. Long ago he would have cringed at it, but after eating nothing but protien paste for the last two months, he couldnt give a damn. Once he finishes his meal he drops the empty tube back into the box with a soft thud, he looks around the store, imagining what it must have used to look back before the infection, he shakes his head getting the thought out and quickly placing his new box of food in his back pack. The Clerc bot looks at him with its blank red "eye."

"Is that all for you today Pvt. Thase?" The soldier nods and walks towards the exit, swinging his rifle off his back and into his hands, the cold metal serving as a reminder of what is to come, he shivers and checks the rifle, Its scope is cracked and only has half a clip of ammuniton left, Thase chuckles to himself and grins remebering, It could always be worse. He places a paw on the door's handle and pulls it open, a cold blast of air hits him, even thru the gasmask, the smell of death hits him like a wall.

Outside the store it looks like a warzone, bodies of demolished mechs litter the small two lane road, he quickly steps out closing the door behind him and grabing a can of orange spray paint out of his bag, tagging a large orange circle on the door. Once he finishes he stows the can and proceds to walk down the street, towering abandond buildings on either side of him, some with massive holes blown in them from spider mechs, some reverted to nothing but skelatel remains of girders and plates. As he walks, the faint sound of moaning and groaning hits him, he freezes up and brings his rifle to attention, aiming it towards a large brick house, the sounds comming from its broken open door. The sound continues to get louder and louder as its point of oragin aproches the opening, Thase can no hear a scraping and draging sound the fur on the back of his neck standing on end. A loud growl emmits from the frame, two large glowing red eyes stare back at Thase, he shivers and backs up, his gun still held firmly in his hand, the barle trained on the creature, the creature jumps out into the open light, balancing its massive disfigured body on two legs and three arms, its large teeth showing as it lunges towards Thase. He fires three rounds into the beasts head then dives to the right and rolling, aiming his weapon back on where the creature crashed in heap, it starts to get back up, its large arms shaking, Thase quickly stands and runs over to the creature, pressing his boot down hard on its back then shoving his bayonet thru its head, the creature goes limp as the blade splits its brain.
