//------------------------------// // CH3 // Story: the beginning of the end // by Konics //------------------------------// “SHIT SHIT SHIT!!!!!” I was running for my life from wooden wolves. WOODEN FUCKING WOLVES! How in the hell was that even possible. I looked behind me to see if they were still there. Yep. “FUCK!!!!” I was gaining some ground but they were still within running distance. Damn these hooves. If it weren't for them I'd try to fight. Hell I dont even know how I was able to run...gallop in this body. I guess its just one of those fight or flight things....o I pray these thing cant fly. So there I was running for my life when I saw this weird bunch of trees. Thankfully I was far enough ahead of the wolf...things to try and climb them. It wasnt very easy but I somehow stumbled up the trees. I looked down from my new perch. “Yeah fuck you to!” The wolves were clawing at the trees trying to reach me. I thank god these freaky little thing really cant fly. I took a moment to survey my surroundings. If I wasn't hopelessly lost in these accursed woods before then I certainly was now. I seemed to be in the tops of some weird apple trees with gray apples.*gurgle* Speaking of apples I have no idea when I last ate. I tried to grab one but....it refused to come off. “What the?” I pulled harder and harder, but the stem of the apple was like fucking elastic.“What the hell *gurgle* you know what screw it.” I looked down at the wolves again. Either they'd wait there for me to come down or I'd starve *gurgle* You know what I think this body's stomach is mocking me. “Well at least it cant get any worse.” Just then a huge thunderstorm came. I was soaked in an instant. “...Of fucking coarse. You know what fuck you Murphy who ever the hell you are.” It seems the wolves had gone to find shelter but I didnt dare leave the tree. I must of sat in that tree for ten minutes when the storm just...stopped. There was no trickle. No rays of sunlight slowly peaking through the clouds. The clouds just left as soon as they had came, but they did leave behind this huge rainbow. “Woah” I had never seen a rainbow that bright. In fact I hadn't seen many rainbows in my life. I climbed a little higher in the tree to get a better look. A little higher. I poked my head above the tree tops and saw something weird. The trees seemed to have an electrical charge going through them. Then it hit mine. “GAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH” Being as I had no hand and could not even attempt to grab a branch I fell. My head smashed through a small branch before my back collided with the main part of the tree. Before I passed out I couldn't help but think that someone somewhere must really hate me. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> “uggg.You know what if I never sleep again it'll be too soon.” I sat there. I was at my school in the parking lot. So that voice had kept to its word. I got up and prepared myself for whatever might be behind the doors of a place that had always been a headache for me. I walked into the doors and was kind of surprised by what I saw. There was a giant memorial on one wall covered in faces in frames. On the other side of the room was half of the town crying. I recognised some of them but others where faces I didnt know. Some random preacher was standing at a podium in middle of the room. I sat down by a table and prepare for what he was going to say. “We are all gathered here today to honor those lost. In an unknown series of accidents 173 of our fair cities residents were killed. More than half of them being students. We all mourn for this tragic loss. BUT WE ARE NOT ALONE! Cities all over the country, all over the world experienced the same phenomenon. They are all grieving! Though it is unconfirmed it is believed 3000000 are dead with 50000 missing around the world. This is the time to be there for each other!” I couldn't take it. I walked out of the building, or rather phased through the doors. A image of rivers of blood filled my mind. I stumbled into the parking lot and leaned against a car (I have no idea how I did that) and dry heaved. Being as I was dead I guess puking is impossible. Well I guess if it is possible I don’t want to know what comes out. I sat there dry heaving over the images my head was producing. “So how'd it go?” Damn that voice. I swear its just there to antagonize me. “remember anything yet?” “No.” “Well thats a shame. Maybe a walk around town will do you some good.” I was pushed forward by an invisible force and fell flat on my face. I turned over to find a tire in my face. Again I heard and unbearably high pitched noise. I saw the grate of a car coming and me and instinctively held my arms up to block the impact. I opened my eyes after a minute to find only the tire in my face again. “What was that....” “Remember something. Of course you did.” I sat there staring at my hands. What had just happened... “That look of confusion on your face is just priceless. But enough of that. You have a town to explore.” “Ok?”I got up and started walking. This voice was starting to get annoying but I was ever so curious on how I died. I walked for what seemed like hours till something snapped me out of my daze. I heard sirens and looked over to see a building on fire. I rushed in without thinking. “HELLO!!! IS ANYONE IN HERE!!” Just then the firefighters rushed in right through me. “Oh...right...” I walked through the fires feeling the burns but not caring anymore. I watched the firefighters saving people as I could do nothing. Ready to give up I sat down against a wall on the far end of the building. Fire surrounding me I put my head in my hands and sat there. Then I heard something. “help.” I looked around but couldn't see anyone. “help...*sniff* please help us!” I looked next to me where an old closet was. I looked inside and saw two little kids trapped inside. One little girl and boy with the younger being what seemed to be a four maybe five year old girl. The older was passed out on the floor pinned by the clothing bar. “HELP US!” I didnt need asked again. I ran to the nearest firefighter and tried to get his attention. “HEY! THERES SOME KIDS TRAPPED OVER THERE!! HEY!!!” I tried for a few minutes only to find how truly helpless I was. I ran back to the kids trying to find a way to help them. A fallen coat rack had blocked the door. I tried banging on the the door with little results. The fire quickly approaching made me only worry more. “DAMN IT!!” I grabbed at the large coat rack with little results. “COME ON!!!” I tried again and....it moved a little. I tried again and it moved more. The third time it was away enough to open the door. With some effort I got the door opened and the girl was crying. I ran into the closet and removed the bar from the boy. He woke up when I tried to slap him. “Hmmm..Wha?” He looked at his surroundings and snapped awake. “Sara come on we have to go!” With that they both ran into the room. I smiled as I watched them run out into the hallway which was only barely on fire. I layed down on the floor feeling as though I had finally did something worth while. When I heard some screaming. My eyes flew open only to see a large chunk of the ceiling land on my head.
