Stepping into the dark gloomy hallway, I examined the situation. The walls had blood splattered on them. The floor now home to several young corpses. Luckily none moved when I poked them with my umbrella, giving me the signal it was clear. After I gave my friends a thumbs up, they hurried into the hallway. Lights flickered on and off quickly.

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.
