The life and death of a zombie. Or would that be the undeath and death? Or just the death and more death? Either way, the short undead tale of a zombie.

Giegue/Giygas' descent into madness, driven by the eight melodies.

It was Halloween, just like any other normal Halloween, and I was going door to door, collecting candy. I stopped to think, that day, though, why do they call it trick-or-treating if you only get treats? Smiling, I stuffed some snakes into my bag(harmless garden snakes, of course, wouldn’t hurt a fly), and rang the next doorbell. As soon as the door opened, I swung the bag forward, shouting, “Trick!” as the old woman screamed.

What do these kids think they’re doing on my beach? They should know that this spot is mine! Ness… I don’t know how, but I know that’s the kid’s name. Ness… The name sounds so… stupid! I hate this Ness kid! What kind of a name is that, anyway? Is he some sort of foreigner? I hate foreigners! I mean, I’m not from Summers either, but that doesn’t matter! I hate this kid, and I’m gonna tear him apart!

When the lights went off, I panicked. I mean, who wouldn’t? It was dark, and scary, and I swear I heard a “Gwoargh!” in the distance. So of course, I ran toward the nearest door, which led to some back room or something. I’m not entirely sure what it was, and I didn’t care at the time. I just wanted to get away from whatever thing was up there.

Okay, picture this: I’m sitting in my bed one night – well, I don’t know if you could call it a bed, being a grave and all, but that’s another story – and all of a sudden, I smell this beautiful, tantalizing scent. Almost like that guy I had for dinner the other night, although he smelled more like pizza than anything else. This sort of smelled like pizza too, so you can see where I’d make the connection. Anyway, of course I get up and go to see what this wonderful smell is coming from. I see a few other zombies moving toward it, so I start running, you know, to get there before it’s all gone, as I’m sure it’s food by this point.

You’re doing nothing, really, just floating around like you have ever since you came to this godforsaken place, when you see a light, coming at you from the strange place, the place that seems to glow with happiness and life, the place on the other side of the tunnel. You’ve seen lights come from there before, but they were fake lights, bad lights, lights that fooled you and tried to invade your only sanctuary, but maybe this light is different. Maybe it’s the light, the one they all talk about, the one that will finally put you to rest.

Who will Ness and Co. encounter trick-or-treating?

Here is my take on the Begining of Earthbound. This is from Ness' point of View, and goes up to the death of Buzz Buzz. I might continue, but the reason I wrote with was for English Class. I have to write a short story. So here it is, now in .rtf flavor!

Updated and improved, thanks to ohboy's comments and my lack of things to do on a Saturday night.
