You’re the manager for a small store. You hired one of your friends, and you just found out that he’s been stealing from the register, stealing stock, abandoning his post to visit with his girlfriend in the back room while he’s the only one on duty, and the argument you had with him at the office just didn’t settle it for you. You pound on his door. When he opens up, he goes pale, soils himself, and staggers back, gasping for breath.
It doesn’t impress you, really; you figure he just thinks you’re showing up with the cops, until you step through his door and glance to the side, where you get a good look at yourself in the mirror.
Or at least, the parts of you that are still recognizable after that shotgun blast that your friend gave you at the end of that argument…

must have been some good sex with his girlfriend for him to shoot his boss/friend.
@ The Anti-Idiot
Shut up
….
@27, obviously he was a zombie if he was still alive after a shot gun blast!
Can’t blame the friend for using the shotgun really, guy was obviously a zombie to begin with and that’s what you get for being a zombie.
Should be greatful his friend even gave him a chance in the first place… can’t be expected not to be a slacker when your boss is always distracting you with his drooling and cries for brains.
TIME FOR SOME ZOMBIE REVENGE
guys he didn’t come back as a zombie, where the hell are you getting this from
Listen guys, during the argument, the shotgun was probably hanging on the wall. The friend grabbed it, shot the guy in the head and killed him. Later, the guy comes back to life and visits his friend as a zombie.
And this is fiction. You guys are actually complaining that this doesn’t make sense, when everything on this site doesn’t?
Hello!?
I thought it was more “Sixth Sense” … you know … “I see dead people”…
Scary! It gave me chills
Haha it made me laugh too, the bastard shot HIM.
for some reason this made me laugh
AND THEN JOHN WAS A ZOMBIE
This is more of a possibility than you know.
Was the friend Dick Cheney,by any chance?
Wtf? WHy did he shoot him? Shouldn’t it have been the other way round. My god what a lousy friend ¬_¬
That “friend” is a fucking bitch, IMHO the zombie should eat his brains.
zombie! *brix*
…
WHO WAS SHOTGUN?
I like this.
THEN WHO WAS FRIEND?
It would have more realistic if the employee had stabbed him with a letter opener or pair of scissors.
Well, to be fair there WAS a story in a newspaper in my area about a man who was yelled at by his boss for talking too much on his cell phone to his girlfriend during work…
Guy goes out to his car, gets a handgun he keeps with him, goes back in, kills his boss and four or five other employees. So the scenario isn’t impossible…
I think you mean “implausible”, but good point.
ZOMBIES! OH NOES!
My friend is a loser.
Cheney?
Oh, look at that. I seem to have a large, gaping bullet wound in the side of my head.
Funny how I didn’t feel that.
When you die from a shot wound to the head you wouldn’t feel it, you’re dead before your nerves can tell you you’re in pain
so they had an argument, guy 1 got shot, they parted for duty as if nothing had happened, and guy 1 comes back to meet guy 2 later, who is so shocked that guy 1 was shot EVEN THOUGH IT WAS GUY 2’S DOING that he soils himself and nearly faints. then guy 1 looks in the mirror and is like, “weird, huge gash in the side of my face…? did i get shot today or something? nah.”
i’m confused and this is stupid.
Maybe after he got shot, he fell to the floor dead. Later, he started moving again.
Not bad. A little unrealistic. :\
okay so yes this reply is 6 years late but
this is creepypasta my friend
do you think there are monsters in real life who require you to answer “the blood of the innocent” in a question or they’d eat you
So I’m a zombie now?
FUCKING SWEET
Well, suppose there was a shotgun in the room or somewhere nearby…the shot wouldn’t have to come as some sort of explosive (pun only vaguely intentional) end to the argument, but perhaps a bit later as a 5-minutes-of-planning kind of thing.
That’s an awesome thought – just this dude finding a shotgun, loading, and taking aim, all while some other guy is yelling at him without even pausing.
Maybe he brought it up on a hunting trip? Sounds dumb.
Who manages to find a shotgun, load it, cock it, and fire it; all during an argument. It seems pretty impractical. It seems more likely that he would have been killed in a more “heat of the moment” kind of way; such as a stab to the heart or bashing in the head.
