EPTEDITOR'S NOTE: Raithed has been temp-banned for a week, so I have personally taken up the task of continuing his story. While my writing may not have Raithed's flair and shrewd usage of tense-changing, word-omitting, and grammar-destroying post-post-postmodernist techniques, I hope it will suffice for this week.
Chapter Nine
Upon realizing the presence of an unknown hand upon your leg you elect to quickly identify it's owner. Upon closer inspection, it is David Yan, AKA Raithed, barely alive. His face is badly mutilated, his body is covered in blood, and his eyes bug out in desperation and agony.
Help... me... I... am I going to die?
Your pity for Raithed's condition is quickly interrupted as a putrid stench reaches your nostrils. You reflexively vomit all over him, and he screams as the hydrochloric acid from your stomach washes over his numerous wounds.
Upon recovering from the exhausting task of exhaustively evacuating the upper half of your digestive system, you inwardly contemplate, did he shit his pants?
A quick scan over the lower region of his body confirms your worst fears.
GODDAMN, KID, you scream out. You instinctively grab your handgun, and point it at him. NOOOOOOOOOOO, he violently pleads, as he hugs your legs with his vomit-covered arms. You silently agree with his sentiment... after all, you only have three bullets left, and using one or two on an unarmed, unthreatening cripple would be unwise, to say the least. Remembering that you have a blunt weapon, you grab your rifle and forcefully ram the butt against Raithed's skull. The effect of this remedy is immediate; Raithed releases your unfortunate legs, and is now writhing upon the ground. A few more liberally-applied rifle butts to the skull render his body immobile, and his face unrecognizable.

You take a few back steps from the grotesque scene and involuntarily shudder. With a few deep breaths to collect yourself, you contemplate whether staying in this hallway is such a great idea.
