Zombie money in a chainsaw hell

I recently discovered that friends were killing me. Literally ripping me to shreds with a chainsaw. And it hurt. After all, I am meant to be the Zombie Priest in the Church of Goth, and no-one had beaten me before. And where did that chainsaw come from? I was mad. In fact, I was steaming….
