|Audree|
My heart is racing and I feel weak in the knees. I turn to see how Zahaire is holding up and I see that he is puking in the corner of the basement near a rusty motor engine. Soon after I hurl at my feet not being able to hold it back after seeing him crack.
"This...t-thats a DEAD BODY!" Zahaire shouts.
"Shhhhh, you want the whole frat to come down here and see us?" I whisper.
"We need to call the cops-" Zahaire stops and looks at the corpse growing an even more horrified look on his face.
"W-what is it?" I ask, too afraid to look at the body again.
"Look!" He wretches.
"I was hoping you'd tell me..." I whimper and slowly turn towards the body.
The muscles all over the body are all contracting and twitching. Foam comes out of the corpse's mouth and his skin starts to bleed and seemingly melt. I screech and hold Zahaire's arm tight, I felt as though I should look away but me and Zahaire's eyes were fixed on the horry that laid in front of us.
"What's happening...bodies don't do this r-right, HUMANS DON'T DO THIS RIGHT!" I stammer trying to make sense of this all.
We stare at the body as it seizes and melts until eventually the face starts to look like a face again and is...all purple and bloody. Taking a closer look I see its skin looks rough and leathery. It's ears are gone and the eyes are pitch black with golden pupils. His hands now only have three long fingers...what...what is happening right now!?

"I'm just saying Zahaire, if a stranger wanted to shoot me 50 dollards to throw it back imma do either one of two things: take the money and run or...throw it the fuck back!"
"Really Audree?"
"Hell Yeah, the easiest 50 buck I've ever made!"
"I can't believe you." he face palms and shakes his head
"Oh relaax, I would only ever do that if I am like EXTREMELY wasted." We both look at each other and start laughing
We are both walking down the quad of 'Great Basin College' on our way to our first class of the day.
