Since I'm a fan of fiction novels in the likes of The Hunger Games, Warm Bodies, Divergent, The Olympians, etc., I decided to put a twist on how I would experience the Blackberry Z10's Browser and how it can make me moving always!

I woke up to a dream where the world has plunged itself into a state of havoc.

Rumors of wars, countries breaking apart, the environment being destroyed and even zombies running around filled the news both on papers and televisions. Human survival has never been endangered and the only way to continue living was to grab hold of the most important things you can carry. I noticed a knapsack slung across my back and rummaged through its contents: a water bottle, a knife, and the Blackberry Z10.

A phone? Seriously? That was my initial reaction upon seeing the device, however, I held my hopes high that somehow it will help me survive. Just as I took a look around, I noticed the wind billowing around me till the environment swirled and vacuumed me in. Then, I fell face first on hard concrete. Ouch! Just as I was about to stand I heard guttural sounds, somewhere between pain and impending doom, which made me look back. Horror rained over me as a swarm of zombies moved towards my direction.

Adrenaline kicked in my veins and I was running alongside people in front of me. I managed to pull out my BB Z10 and accessed the browser immediately. I keyed "HOW TO SURVIVE ZOMBIE ATTACKS" and noticed a guy keeping his pace beside me and typing the same keywords on his Sammy smartphone. The results came in less than a second and I was viewing the website at ease, until several pop-ups and ads came rushing in the screen. I immediately accessed its Reader Mode and BAAAM! all the unnecessary stuff went away, leaving only the words to read. On the other hand, the guy seemed to have trouble reading his as the ads kept coming up. I ran faster and looked back as a zombie caught his legs and tackled him down sending his phone flying towards me. Pity filled me as I look at his phone's screen---It was horribly filled with ads that words get masked.

However, it was not long before a fell into a manhole and got transported to another dimension.

I found myself falling on green grass. I brushed off leaves in my pants and took a look around the area. It was weird how boys and girls my age are standing on pedestals and eagerly looking on a metal Cone in the middle of the field. Could it be the Cornucopia? Oh no! I'm in the Hunger Games! My knees began to tremble upon realizing it was 30 seconds before bloodbath and fight to the death may occur. The timer reached zero and I soon found myself heading toward the thick forest vegetation. I fished out my BB Z10 and went to YouTube, browsing videos on self-defense techniques for newbies like me. Surprisingly, the videos played at clear speed and did not crack nor stop in the middle. In less than 5 minutes, I learned three basic fighting techniques to help me survive for the next few days (hopefully). I was on the third day when I stumbled across a girl who died due to hypothermia, with evidence of frostbitten fingers and toes. I searched for salvageable items till I found her phone.

| "Flash Player needs to be installed" a common message among most Smartphone devices, not for BB Z10 anyway! |
It says YouTube, with the search tab filled with "HOW TO BUILD FIRE", however, I noticed that the screen message kept saying it had to install Flash Player. Relief flooded through me as I know my BB Z10 supports flash software.
Three days past and only two of us were left. I was very hopeful that I could walk away a victor and go back to my family. Luckily, I survived on tasty blackberries found in the deeper parts of the arena. I was laughing to myself upon realizing I was surviving due to two blackberry's--the fruit and my BB Z10.

| The fruit and the Smartphone--BLACKBERRY'S |
The browser worked perfectly and responded at amazing speeds, thanks to its LTE capabilities. Finally, I heard the last canon boom and hurriedly looked for the body of the other tribute. It was a boy, probably my age but way taller and bigger who died due to poison berries he might have mistaken for edible ones. The announcer's voice echoed in my ears and announced there were a second batch of tributes coming in. I fell to my knees and prayed the horror would end and then...................
My alarm buzzed and woke me up. It was 6:00 o'clock in the morning, I quickly scanned my room sensing for dangers that might occur any moment. After a few moments, a sigh escaped my lips as I thanked that it was only a dream, a vivid dream. I turned over my blanket and there I found the thing that helped me survive through a zombie apocalypse and The Hunger Games--a shiny Blackberry Z10.
