A/N: Here it is! The next chapter in my thrilling saga! Enjoy, kiddies, and leave me a review!
Start from the beginning! Read the ! Don't forget Beginnings, and ! *** ‘D’de?’ Simon blinked. Then he blinked again. If this is the afterlife, he thought, no wonder the undead are angry. ‘H’y, d’de! W’s y’r n’me?’ Simon couldn’t really hear the talker too well. The cause might have been the warm liquid pooling in his ears. ‘Am I…Am I dead?’ He managed to croak out, with enormous effort. The figure appeared to laugh and shook its head, a stream of incomprehensible language streaming from it. A second figure stormed over, took one look at Simon, and started shouting at the first figure. The two seemed to be engaged in a raging debate, while from Simon’s point of view, the figures continuously got fuzzier and less audible. The second figure seemed to notice, as he shouted for a third figure who ran over. After a couple more seconds of discussion between the three figures, the third one produced a hypodermic syringe from a bag and stuck it in Simon’s arm.
