The Engineer slightly nodded.

The Pyro was totally confused. Ever since his 'cousin'((Which was actually Miss Pauling in disguise)) gave him the Gas Mask, it appeared that some people turned against him. Did the Mask was meant to destroy his life. Still, he could barely remember what happened before he put in his Mask. Either way, he was completely tired. He decided to take a nap on the Bath Tub while holding the Balloonicorn.

((Notice: As long as I am writting in this Color tone, it means I am typing what is happening on the Pyro's dream. Also, most of this is inspired by a Comic called 'Destroyed Belief'.))

The Pyro, back when he was a child((Still wearing his Clothing he wears now)), went to his Mother to show her a drawing he made. However, as soon as she looked at it, it suddently ignited, then igniting her aswell. The Pyro was confused, but once he relalized what was happening, he started to scream for help. But, all it came out was "Mmmph!". She burned to ashes, and he fell to his knees. However, the ashes start to rise back, confusing the Pyro.

The Pyro was now looking at a mirror. He saw a blurry reflection of him, which slowly started to gain visaul, and it revealed to be like his Father. The Pyro leaned back, and his Dad-like reflection imitated him. "Dad?!", the Pyro thought. "Hello, Son!", his Father said. "Still afraid that I'm gonna burn you alive? Look how grown up are you, I'm surprised...", his Dad continued. "And you thought you were like your Mother...but instead...you turn out to be like me!", he said. "MMPH?!", the Pyro mumbled. "I was a bad father, and a bad husband...OR MAYBE EVEN WORSE....", his Father continued. "YOU!!!", he screamed. "YOU'RE A MURDERER!!", he yelled. Suddently, he saw the faces of his entire Teammates and Enemies, including the Engineer's yelling "MURDERER!!!". The Pyro put his hands on his head, or to be precise, his Gas Mask. Then, his Rainblower appeared on front of him. Still being tormented by the Heads screaming 'MURDERER', he pressed the button he used for the Rainblower to spit out Rainbows. Suddently, the words 'MURDERER' stopped, and he found himself at a field on Pyroland. He turned around, and found his Balloonicorn behind him. He grabbed it. A tear dropped from his left eye. However, the tear broke the left lens of his Gas Mask. The field started to turn into a Black, Horror land on the middle of a Thunderstorm. The rain washed and destroyed the Balloonicorn. The Blackness started eating through the Happy, Rainbow-filled lands from Pyroland, until it became a rundown, Burning Village.

As the Pyro was having his nightmare, he could be heard screamming unintelligible "Mmm!! Mmmmrgh!! Mmph!"s.

Btw, John Collins looks like my profile pic...

Arkantos looks up so fast that he involuntarily cracks his neck. Hearing the incredibly loud muffled yelling, painfully loud to him, he quite quickly is driven to screaming unintelligibly.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPANCAKESAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Unaware that he had effectively attracted all walkers in a five-mile radius, Arkantos runs out onto the street, covering his ears and still screaming. The direction he is running in happens to lead him closer to the source of the noise, Pyro, without Arkantos realising.

Sorry for pausing the story...

Anyway... I looked down at my pistol and stood up. I glanced over at a ladder and slowly advanced towards it. As i began to climb the ladder, i heard a faint scream. When i reached the roof, i scanned the area, looking for survivors or walkers. I placed my bag on the floor and searched. I found a box of supplies. In the box i noticed that there were four flares, two grenades, a flash light and a jar of peanut butter. I pulled out a flare and set it off. I tossed it onto the road below and waited, pulling out my book.

"AAAAAAAAAAAADANCINGURINALSJUMPOFFTHEEIFFELTOWERAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!"

Unwittingly, without stopping, Arkantos tramples a walker, trips up, forward flips about 3 times, charges past the RED Sniper while the latter was napping, then eventually crashes into the house that the Pyro is in, still screaming with his hands over his ears.

I hear a faint hello and place my book down. I peer over the ledge of the roof and notice a redheaded female walking around. "Hey, up here!" I yell. She looked up at me and shyly waved. I motioned for her to come to where i was. I guided her with directions on how to get to the roof. When she made it, i noticed that she was crying. She approached me for a hug and i awkwardly accepted. I didn't know who this girl was, but for some reason, a hug from a complete stranger felt comforting. The girl wore an over sized hoodie and sweatpants. "So... whats your name?" I awkwardly asked. "Hann- Hannah." She responded. I slowly nodded my head and responded. "My names John." I said extending my right arm. She shook my hand with her clammy right hand. "Are- are you sick?" I slowly asked. Hannah nodded her head. "Were you bitten?" The girl slowly shook her head. I heard the sound of distant gunshots and turned towards the noise.

The Engineer heard a crash downstairs. He went there, and found a person lying down on the floor. "What the blazes?!?", he said. The crash completely distracted the Engineer from hearing the Pyro's mumbles.

Alicia made her way down the stairs and stopped at the base, glancing up in the direction of the Pyro's screams. She felt somewhat guilty, like maybe her being afraid of him caused him pain, but the feeling was quickly replaced by the urge to sleep. Just as she'd reached the couch to finally close her eyes, the screaming increased to more than one person.

"Holy hell." She muttered to herself, putting her head between her knees, "I am never going to get to sleep with everyone being so obnoxious!"

After a moment of feeling awful for herself, she pulled out the Xylazine and one syringe from her coat pocket. Not thinking about attracting Walkers or anyone else, she drew back a couple cc's and stuck it into her bloodstream. She put the materials back into the pocket she'd had them in, she curled up on the couch and tried not to cry in the seven minutes she knew it'd take before it started to hit her.

I hear a crash somewhere in the house. I quickly put the last bits of the sandwich into my backpack and grab my BB Gun. The Pyro above started murmuring and shouting. If walkers hadn't gotten in, the sound would attract them. I run into the living room with my gun at hand, and I see the Engineer looking down at a body. I aim for the head, but then realize... The guy is alive, and not a walker.

I shrugged off the sound of the gunfire and turned back towards the girl. Her bright green eyes starred intently at me. I motioned for her to sit down next to my backpack. I sat down next to her and pulled out an energy bar and a bottle of water and handed it to her. She ate the energy bar slowly and smiled to herself. When she began to drink the water, she looked up at the sky. "I- i never figured it'd come to this, you know?" She said. "Yeah, i know." I slowly Responded. The sky slowly began to darken and i figured that we'd get some rest. I pulled the little sleeping bag from my backpack and unrolled it. "Here, you can sleep in it." I said. "Are- are you sure?" She responded. "Yeah." She slipped inside the bag and looked over at me. "What about you, where will you sleep?" I glanced over at her. "I'll keep watch." She nodded and closed her eyes. I sat on the floor and looked over at Hannah.

Even though Arkantos essentially has his face half its own diameter into the ground, he is still loud enough to be heard.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! TOOLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUD! GHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!"

Alicia feels her eyelids start to droop, even as she hears the newest stranger's screaming. She sleepily looks over the arm of the couch and blinks slowly at his prone form on the floor before feeling herself slip out of consciousness.

I awoke the next day, feeling slightly groggy. Hannah was still asleep, I looked at my watch: 6:30 A.M. I stretched and walked over to the ledge. Several walkers had accumulated around the bottom. The sound of a helicopter slowly reached my ears and i looked to the left. A helicopter was flying over the city. My instincts told my to get the helicopters attention, so i yelled and made waving motions, nothing happened. The helicopter passed through the city and the group of walkers at the bottom followed suite. Where were they going i asked myself. Hannah had awoken and walked over to my side. "What's- she yawned- going on?" She asked. I didn't want to upset her. "Nothing, just- looking." She looked forward and turned her glance back to me. "At what?" She asked curiously. "I- The sound of four gunshot's rang out through the city followed by screams. Hannah grabbed my right arm tightly. "It's okay." I said.

I rolled up the sleeping bag, placed it into my backpack and grabbed my pistol. I climbed down the ladder, Hannah followed and we slowly stepped out onto the street, looking left and right. Hannah screamed and i quickly turned to her, gun raised at the head of a slowly approaching walker. I fired three times at the head and the walker collapsed. Hannah was breathing heavily, tears started to form and i quickly placed my arm around her. "It's okay, he's dead now." She nodded and whipped her eyes. I pulled a small pistol from my bag and handed it to her. "Do you know how to use this?" I asked. "N-no." She responded shaking her head. She slowly grabbed the pistol and placed it in her hoodie pocket. "Don't worry, i'll teach you how to use it later, just follow me, okay." She nodded and i turned forward again.

((Time change? I dunno.))

I put my gun on the ground next to my feet and held my ears. I heard some walkers walking down the street towards this place. Over his yelling, I said. "Make him stop yelling! We're gonna die!"

The Engineer started to think that guy was more insane than the Pyro. Even the Sentries in the room started to malfunction due to Arkantos' screams. The Engineer went over to Arkantos, turned him around, and put his Left Hand on the Screamer's mouth. "Stop Screaming! You will attract those Zombie-like monsters!", he said.

The Pyro woke up in a startle due to someone screaming like insane. The Pyro looked around, then decided for the first time to take off his Mask, even though Miss Pauling told him that he may die if he doesn't wears his mask. He gasped as the restroom he saw when he had his Mask turned into a very different Bathroom as he took his mask off. It was much, much darker than he saw earlier. He looked at his Balloonicorn. There was nothing but a worn-off Rubber Duck. The Pyro realized that his Mask was tricking him all the time, and that was the reason that people treated him differently. But, still, what about the possibility that he could die? He didn't wanted to die, so he started to look for a way for him to stay without his Gas Mask while surviving. He took a look at the toilet paper. He picked it up, and put it around his head, leaving only a little space for the eyes. He unlocked himself, and went downstairs. He then started to think on how other people looked. Did they looked exactly like they did with the Mask? No, no, not possible. It altered everything. As he got down, he realized that they were almost exactly as same as him, except that they wore different clothing.

"Eh, I am fine now. Jeez, that muffled screaming I could hear was loud."

Two days had passed now and me and Hannah had made it out of Atlanta. We sat in the black mini van together and looked at a map. The map had labeled a nearby prison and a farm owned by the Greene family. I pulled into a nearby parking lot and looked over at Hannah. "It's getting dark outside, we should probably rest." I said tiredly. She nodded and i grabbed my backpack from under my seat. We folded down the back seats and laid out our sleeping bags, i had found another while traveling in Atlanta. We got inside the sleeping bags and attempted to sleep when a loud scream rang out nearby. I sat up in my bag and looked around. To the left was a house surrounded by walkers. "What the- A walker started banging on the side window and Hannah grabbed my arm.

"What the ****!" I exclaimed pulling out my gun and rolling down the window. The walker flung his arms in and i rolled the window up, crushing his flailing arms. I aimed the gun at the walkers head through a wide enough crack and fired. The walker collapsed, his arms still hanging inside. I rolled the window down and the walker completely collapsed to the floor now. Hannah's grip loosened and i noticed that the yelling had abruptly ended. I glanced over at the house, the walkers had dispersed and the door was open. I looked over at Hannah who was starring at me. "Shou- should we check it out?" She asked. I slowly nodded and got out of my sleeping bag. "Go ahead and get some rest okay, i'll check it out." I said. I started the van up again and drove towards the house.

"Oh, good. I thought you would never stop screaming.", he said.

"Where am I?", said a slightly-muffled voice.

The Engineer turned around, and found the Pyro, without his Gas Mask, but with his head covered in Toilet Paper. "PYRO?!?!", he said loudly.

"Yes?", he answered. That person looked exactly the same as the Engineer. No, it must be the Engineer. It would be hard to get used to Reality.

"W-what happened to your Gas Mask?", the Engineer asked.

"For the first time, I decided to take it off.", the Pyro answered. "I...I realized that Mask made me go Insane. Seriously, I saw every person as little baby Fairies, and such.", he continued. "I realized that I have been living in a fantasy world for the length that I was wearing that Gas Mask. Wow, I was horribly tricked.", the Pyro continued.

"Yeah, makes sense. Noone ever understood what you said, nor what you thought.", he said.

"Look in the eyelenses of your mask. Could be some weird lenses. Only logical reason, aside from the inside of the mask being covered in some drug gas."
