(dees ees a storeh)
I stand atop a pile of ash. This used to be Washington DC, the capital of "America", whatever that is. Now it is burned. Dying embers float slowly to the ground, the ash floats in the air. A cloud of soot covers the sun. If it's there anymore. My white suit has not a stain on it, though. I doubt anything with a pulse is anywhere within miles of here. Unless the Dementrix have pulses. I walk slowly down the street. Rusted, destroyed cars fill the streets. The snow is black. I'm suprised there still is snow. I haven't been to earth in centuries. And when I finally return it's being destroyed by its own people. I hear a faint voice coming from one of the cars. I walk over to see a radio still intact. I turn a knob on it. The music gets louder.
"It's the end of the world as we know it, its the end of the world as we know it."
The music goes.
"And I feel fine..."
I hear a man chuckle behind me.
"Zaeed Freeman. I thought I'd never see the likes of you again."
I turn around.
Oh god. Not him again.
A man who looks identical to me stands a few meters in front of me. His tuxedo black, mine white. His skin is a steel gray, and his eyes are crimson. He's a Nega. Every sentient being in the universe has one. They're basically evil twins.
"Neggy! I missed you. How was life in the Plain of Suck?" I say |

"I told you it's Nega-Zaeed. How would you like it if I called you Z again?"
"I wouldn't mind. So, what brings you to earth?" I ask him.
"I could ask the same to you."
"I came here for the nostalgia. But nothing here is as I remember it. Sports cars, hot dog stands, computers, iPods. Alot has changed in the past four hundred years."
"That last sentance was stupid."
"Why are you here, Neggy?"
"I followed you here. Well, actually I just warped behind you. But it's still following."
"So you're not here to kill me?"
He chuckles.
"Don't be foolish, Zaeed. I only do that on tuesdays." |

| No. Two reasons. 1. Do not use the name from half-life. 2. I don't like you. It might have been a good story... |

"I forgot how primitive humans are."
"And how violent. And that's coming from me, the guy who killed you twice."
I hear faint arguing coming from a dumpster.
"I know your there. Come out."
Two other Nega fall stumble out of the dumpster. I recognise one of them. Faintly.
"Too chicken to kill me yourself, eh 'Negs?" I say.
"Stop stalling and kill me a sixth time."
"My pleasure."
Two metal rods fall from my sleeves and into my hands, I press a button on the handles and two beams come out of them.
"Ah. The LasKatana. Nostalic."
He pulls out two rods like mine, and two beams come out of them. These ones black instead of white. |

| Your name in Half-life is Gordon Freeman. You would know this if you played the game. |

Lots of people have "Freeman" as their last name. |

| Well, the only Freeman I've heard of is Gordon Freeman, so that is what comes to mind when I hear Freeman. |

| Actually I never said that. It was more of a joke. And all I said was that it's the first thing to come to mind. |

"Beep! Beep! Beep"
My alarm clock goes off. I wake up in my bed.
It was just a dream.
I look out the window at the tall grassy plains of Zexus, my home planet.
I turn off my alarm clock, and get out of bed. I walk over to my robe and put it on.
I look around my room, the painting of... Who is that again? She rings a bell. Blonde hair, red dress, black wings, that white hat she always wore. Oh well. Mabye it'll come to me.
I walk out of my bedroom. I lean over the railing of the grand staircase and see my younger brother Salem sitting on the couch in the living room, playing V-Box with my daughter Alexia.
"Broop broop brooooooop" The game goes
"Aww man!" Exclaims Salem "You're too good at this, Lexi."
"My uncle's a newb." She jokes.
I look over to the kitchen and see my step brother, Tyson, with Kormin, my wife.
I walk down the stairs to the living room.
"Morning sunshine." Salem says.
"Whatcha playing?" I ask.
"Duty Calls." He says
"I'm kicking his butt." Alexia says. |

I walk over to the Library.
"Ahh, Master Freeman. How may I help you?" Marloc, my butler, says.
"No need. Just keep doing what you're doing."
"As you wish." He says, levatating up to the higher shelves and grabbing a book.
I look up to the ceiling of the Library. It seems endless.
Poor Marloc has to organize all of those books. I need to give him a vacation. Even undead need a break. Hopefully a two week break to his homeland.
I walk over to the C section of the library, and grab a large book. It reads "CODEX" on the front. I turn to the page where I left my bookmark, and sit down on a chair with a end table.
A mug of coffee levitates over to the end table.
"For you, master." Marloc says.
"Ah, thank you Marloc." |
