Arctic runner- vol 1 catching shadows

by adaptroug


from one to another

"Alright!" I said installing the last of the power coils,"let's see new tires, check, new 20 speed mock 2 engine, check, and last but not least, flight and universal jump controls." Now all that is needed is to get away from everyone and begin my new life in another random universe I thought as dark shadow slowly approached unseen to anyone but me.

"You know where ever you go I will follow and leave destruction as you" the shadow spoke as I just ignored him as I always did.

30 minuets later
Old abandoned highway

"Well this is it ,the last of this universe I will see" I said while starting up the universal jump sequence, "Hopefully".

The shadow was still in close persuite before merging again said "Remember the darkness has always been there where ever you go darkness will rise and consume you"

"LET'S LIGHT THIS CANDLE!!" I yelled flooring the throttle of the arctic cat hopping to out run the shadow. let's see if I remember hit mock 1.5 activate flight mode press the red button dislodging the universal portal generator and pass through while going into ground mode I thought.


I'm barley at mock 1 and i'm running out of road fast think, how to gain .5 mock and survive a 5 mile free fall my thought's raced as i neared the cliff. "well here i go!!" I prematurely activated flight mode and dropped the generator. I lucked out when the portal opened and worked. My good luck never failed me but once I thought as i passed through the portal.

The Rift

"So this is what you feel and see jumping through a universe" an echo of my thought's bounced around the empty whiteness. Apparently here thoughts are a voice and a voice is a thought I tried to say with no prevail. The shadow reappeared and said "All that is light will fall to darkness we are two sides of the same coin we each have to share the same body and the terrible things I have done are all pined on you"

"You have no right to be in my head you foul demon of the shadows begone."

Suddenly a crack formed underneath me and all memory of the universal gap left my head as I was sucked in.
