The Ninja Epidemic

You step cautiously backwards, deeper into the wood, keeping the approaching ninja's in sight. They continue to step closer to you at a slow pace, eyeing you down every step of the way.

You hold your bat before you like it's a cross and the ninjas are vampires. It seems to be keeping them back, too, which is somewhat puzzling to you. Why don't they just attack?!, you think. And then you understand.

You spin around to find a ninja in mid sword thrust, drving his blade deep into your belly. You fall to the ground, bleeding heavily, musing over the fact that while you watched the ninjas before you, the attack came from behind.

Ninjas are a sneaky bunch of bastards, you think as you close your eyes for the last time and allow death to take you at last.
