Scoring Too by Carl Hose
   
   

The day the dead started to walk again was freaky. I was nineteen years old at the time, into experimenting with all sorts of drugs and weird sex shit. My life was one big party. I didn’t think about the future at all. I always assumed there’d be plenty of time for that later. How the fuck was I supposed to know dead things were going to start rising from their graves?

When they first came back, almost everybody got away from the city. My landlord was one of the first to split, so me and a few of my radical friends turned my apartment building into a fortress and hung around. It made good sense to me. Why wander the countryside when you can stay somewhere you already feel comfortable?

It was me, Bingo, Porky, and Stella. We worked together to make our building immune to the dead. Bingo and Porky went on foraging missions daily, while Stella and me held down the fort. It was the perfect setup for a while, and then everything went to hell.

We were all still smoking weed, but everybody except Bingo had given up on the hallucinogens. The way we saw it, with all the corpses walking around and shit, anything stronger than weed was not only unnecessary, it was downright stupid.

Bingo didn’t see it that way. He said he’d stop when his supply ran dry, but we all knew Bingo’s supply would never dry up. The man knew where to get his stuff, even in a world turned upside down by some freaky plague.

 

   
 
 
 
 
 
 

One night Bingo got so crazy he went outside and stood in the middle of the street, screaming at the top of his lungs. A bunch of the dead things came out of the woodwork and climbed all over him. They tore him apart and fought over his intestines and his other body organs.

Well, Stella freaked out and ran outside, and then Porky went after her because he wanted to fuck her someday, which meant he couldn’t let her die, and that’s how they all ended up zombie food right along with Bingo.

That left me alone, and believe me, I learned how to survive. I spent a lot of time inside at first, but then I started going out. I mean, the world was what it was, and I knew I couldn’t stay inside forever, right?

The dead seemed to be migrating away from the city. I saw less and less of them as weeks went by. There came a time when I could walk the streets for hours without seeing one walking corpse. I hadn’t seen a live human for more than two months, and once the dead started coming around less often, I actually started missing their company.

Sex was the thing I missed most. I masturbated a lot after Bingo and Stella and Porky went over the edge, and before that, I fooled around with Stella mostly, and sometimes even Bingo and Porky.

I liked Stella best, though, not so much because I’m into women, but because Bingo and Porky weren’t all that great, if you know what I mean. Porky was, like, two hundred and fifty pounds with a really tiny dick, and Bingo was thin as a rail and greasy.

Stella was something else. She had this long, beautiful blonde hair, nice breasts with big pink nipples, and a tongue that could work wonders on my pussy. Sometimes she’d eat me for hours at a time. She was into that shit more than I was, but you never heard me complain.

It was tough adjusting to solo sex. I like masturbating and all, but for real, how many times can you play with yourself without getting bored? I had to find a new outlet for my sexual needs, and that’s when I remembered a conversation I’d had with Stella, Bingo, and Porky one night.

Bingo was going on about a game called Scoring. He said it was something he’d heard about right after the death plague hit. Everybody was doing it. It was so popular that it had become a worldwide sporting event. There was even an entire underground that supported Scoring events.

Scoring involves having sex with as many zombies as you can without getting yourself killed. It sounded sort of gross to me when Bingo was talking about it, but like I said, a girl can only fuck herself with her fingers so many times before it starts to get old.

Bingo told us he did it one time with a dead hooker he found wandering around. He used raw meat to distract her while he screwed her doggy style. He said that was the trick, you had to use a distraction. Raw meat was best, because all they really care about is eating, and as long as you distract them with something bloody, you can fuck them all night. There was a butcher shop a couple of blocks over from my building. I found a freezer in back, full of all sorts of spoiled meat, which I figured would make good bait.

Another thing Bingo said was that you had to be quick. The quicker the better. I wore a skirt and no panties when I went out. I figured the less clothes I had to fumble around with, the better off I’d be.

My first score happened outside the library. I found this dead guy wandering aimlessly. He looked like he was still in pretty good shape, except for the way his jaw was sort of just hanging there.

He was a little skittish when I first approached him. I had some raw meat in a bag. I offered a piece of it to him. When he came at me, I got freaked out and threw it on the ground. He looked at me for a few seconds, like he was maybe considering eating me instead, then he got down on his knees and started going at the rotten meat.

I had his attention, but there was a problem. There was no way I could get to his dick while he was on his knees like that. I had a dilemma.

“Hey, you, come here,” I called to the dead thing.

He looked back at me, sort of in a daze, then he lumbered over, reaching with both hands. It was scary. He took the meat from me and crammed it in his mouth. He chewed loud, letting pieces of bloody meat dangle from his chin. I was shaking as I groped for his zipper. He fixed his dead eyes on me the whole time he was chewing the meat.

I reached into his pants and grabbed hold of his dick. It was cold and rubbery. I started jerking him off. I wasn’t sure a zombie could get a hard-on, but I was determined to find out. I pumped him and kept feeding the raw meat to him. It took a while, but eventually his cock twitched and started to grow.

I gave him a shove and he stumbled and fell on his ass. The things aren’t very strong. I climbed on top of him and pushed him on his back, then I crammed more raw meat down his throat to keep him happy while I guided myself down on his dick. I came right away. It was most intense orgasm I’d ever experienced, but it wasn’t the zombie’s cock that did it for me. The danger is what turned me on so much; the thought that I could die any second. It was a rush, better and more potent than any drug I’ve ever taken. How’s that for sick?

I was addicted after that. I scored three more times in less than a month. It would’ve been more, but like I said, there weren’t as many zombies in the city as there used to be.

Greg came into my life suddenly. I was fucking a dead construction worker against a building. I was so caught up in what I was doing that another one of the dead things snuck up behind me. By the time I realized he was there, it was too late. I was pinned between him and the construction worker. The second one could’ve took a bite out of me and I would’ve been finished right there, but he started humping me instead, like he wanted to fuck.

A gunshot exploded. The zombie behind me fell to the ground. Another reverberating shot erupted and the construction worker’s head exploded in a shower of blackish blood and gray brain bits.

“You okay?” a male voice asked.

I wiped slimy crap from my face and smoothed down my skirt. “You could’ve fucking killed me,” I screamed at the guy standing there.

“I saved your sweet ass. Those things were the ones trying to kill you,” he said, shoving his gun down the front of his pants.

“They weren’t killing me, asshole, they were fucking me.”

“Excuse me?”

“Are you deaf? I said they were fucking me, you moron. You’ve never heard of Scoring?”

“I’ve heard of it, I’ve just never known anybody who actually did that sick shit.”

We were fire and water from the beginning. I don’t even know why I invited him to stay with me, or why he would want to. Maybe we were just bored with life in general.

We fought day and night. We fought and we fucked. That was all we did.

One thing that made me happy about Greg being around was that I had somebody to go down on me. That’s something a girl learns to live without when she’s having sex with dead things. You don’t spread your legs for a walking corpse. That’s like laying out an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Greg was good at going down on me. He kept me happy where that part of our relationship was concerned. I’d make him do it several times a day. Some days we didn’t even fuck. Greg would just eat me out. If I felt like it, I’d suck his cock for him, which he liked, but for the most part, he was content to eat me out. Our relationship got worse by the day. The only time we weren’t fighting was when we were balling. Other than that, it was a fucking war zone when Greg and me got together.

The dead started coming around again. I don’t know what drew them back, but seeing them amble down the street made me long for the excitement I felt when I was scoring. Sex with Greg was good, don’t get me wrong. It’s just that it wasn’t worth the hassle of having him around all the time.

I watched Greg sleeping one night. I listened to his snoring, watched him toss and turn, and realized I wanted out. His gun was on the night stand beside the bed. I picked it up and aimed it at his head. All I had to do was squeeze the trigger. One shot and that would be the end.

That’s when I got a brilliant idea. I put the gun away. A head shot was too messy for what I had in mind. I spent a few months conditioning Greg to eat me out. I made him do it for hours at a time, and when he was good, I rewarded him with a nice sloppy blow job. I figured if I trained him to do it well, I’d have less risk when he came back again.

When the time came to finish him off, I remembered some heroin left behind after Bingo pulled that stupid stunt of his. I never did that shit, but Bingo thought it was the bomb. I knew how to use the needle and everything, just from watching Bingo do it, so. I waited till Greg was fast asleep one night, then I injected him with enough junk to sink a battleship.

I got him down to the basement as fast as I could and chained him to a water pipe. They say the dead have no memory once they start walking again, but that sometimes they continue doing things they were conditioned to do when they were alive. That’s what I was counting on with Greg.

Thing was, I’d have to find a different reward for his good behavior, because even I’m not fucked up enough to suck a stiff’s stiff. . . .
