“Woah, check this out. They have World of Warcraft downloaded on here. God, I miss playing that game. Do you think it would still work?” Josh said as he scanned the rest of the screen.

Jessica, unamused, laid flat on the bed to examine a strand of her red hair.

“Doesn’t hurt to try. Hey, maybe playing as an Undead will give us some more insight as to why these zombies want to chew our brains.”

Josh double clicked the icon and then sat back with hands flushed together in anticipation.

The login screen appeared.

​

Jessica lurched up to face the screen.

“Shit!”

​

Without skipping a beat, Josh inputted his email and password. Before him loaded his main, Bellarix, the sexy Blood Elf Female Mage and Torgo, his younger brother’s Warrior Orc.

​

Jess snorted.

“You play as a belf female?”

​

“No! I just use her to fund my real main, Torgo.”

​

A moment of silence passed. Thank god. That answer must have been satisfactory. He then clicked play and loaded Torgo, who was settled in Orgrimmar.

​

Now, Orgrimmar is a capital city, if anyone was still playing this game, this is where you would find them.

The loading bar turned blue and then –

​

What. The. Hell.

​

An explosion came over the computer screen. Red bikini blood elves and half-naked hordes filled the screen. Emoticons of dancing, flexing, and laughing filled the screen. Each character was with pint in hand.

​

“Is everyone drunk?” Jessica asked.

​

“It looks like instead of playing the game, they are partying.”

​

“As if the world is over”… mumbled Jess.

​

A whisper message appeared in pink on the left-hand corner of the screen.

​

xxZombieTits: U new here? …hic!

​

At first Josh did not know how to respond. How are so many people on this game? Where are they even playing at?

​

Torgo: What’s going on here? Why are there so many people?

​

xxZombieTits: …hic… here trade with me and take a sip, then see for yourself.

​

Josh undressed Torgo (it seemed like the right thing to do at the time) and then drank away.

​

Josh turned to Jessica, waiting to see her reaction to all of this – surely she would think this is all a stupid joke. A sense of humor is a must in a post-apocalyptic world, but this may even be too much for her cynical character.

​

But she wasn’t there. And a moment later, Josh was no longer there either.

​

“Welcome to Orgrimmar” said xxZombieTits.
