Dark Fortress Continued (12/22/2006)

With both creatures dead—The Pineappleman gathered himself—his leg was bleeding from where the chain had stuck.  He reached for the one still lit torch. –but just as he went to grab it the torch went out.  And then he felt a sharp kick to his abdomen. Unable to see and without his gun he had only one option—as the next kick pounded into his side he grabbed and held onto the leg of his assailant. Twisting the leg he flung the madman to the ground.  The  madmen kicked his hands away as the Pineappleman tried to keep ahold of his leg.  But the Madman was able to scramble away from him.  The Pineappleman-removed his machete and stood up in complete darkness ready for another assault.
