Richard took out his cell phone to call his mother, who was working at a government sponsored hospital at the time.
"Mom, I got something to tell you, I found a wounded guy eating mold out of the sewer, he looks hurt. Maybe you should come home and take a look at him!"
"You know those kids are dirty, I don't want those rats in my house."
"Come on mom, please." Richard begged, but it was futile.
So he called a local ambulance to take care of the boy. Richard's thought screamed to him:
What the hell does that cow mean, she does
not want those rats in our house!?

The next day before school, she sends a text to Richard, saying perhaps someday that might be able to get a little more serious. Ellen dies in a freak accident when trying to reach the school. The school was let out due to the fact that the elevator was suffering mechanical issues.
She tries to rescue the other passengers when they found out first hand that not quirks in the system were fixed. Most of the passengers crushed by falling beams in the space elevator.

VI: Eve’s Perspective (In Vitro Super Soldier) (216 Pages)
Main Character: Eve, The first Android Clone Hybrid
Setting: Right after Part Six
Primary conflict: Richard builds Eve in the image of his first girlfriend Ellen, who died prematurely. However their are unintended side effects.
My name is Eve, and I was created as a mix between and android, and a person formed from cloned cell tissue. My memories are the same as Ellen’s, because her memories were stored in a super computer, along with her decapitated head, in hopes of someday finding a way to bring her back to life. Richard felt like he was repairing Ellen, when he built me. But someday, I feel so much more than that.
What are clones? Clones are produced by using tissue that has already come from an existing person or animal. The stem cells are then taken, and used to form a fetus. The fetus is then injected into a uterine replicator, and grown to childbirth.
Artificial Humans by contrast, have a artificially intelligent brain, their skeleton is typically metallic. The flesh on their bones has not come from a previous complete owner, but was grown in vitro. Whether they would grow up to become abnormal children is not known yet, because the first individual died in childbirth.
The way they reproduce is different, specifically in vaginal sex. Just like how girls are equipped with different parts from men, artificial humans are equipped with the set number of children they can conceive in what they call a tool set. They have a tool set, we have eggs and sperm.
If a human male tried to put his own spaghetti into an artificial human girls cloud, the cloud would not know what to do with it, because its not a power drill. Its puts a whole new meaning to the term, giving the girl a drill. And then we have Artificial Human (Biological robot) clone hybrids.
These are grown like the clones, except in childbirth, they are equipped with artificial human reproductive parts, and given In Vitro arms and legs. They have the benefits of having human emotions, but the reproductive organs of artificial humans. Scientists do this, so they their children don’t grow up to become abnormal.
Because I was the first artificial human clone hybrid, I was still born with similar abnormalities earlier clones had. They could not get the kink’s out of the system, and I was born with psychokinetic powers. Later models were improved, I’m the only one with this phenomenon for some reason.
VII: Samantha’s Perspective (The Letter) (17 Pages)
Main Character: Samantha
Setting: Right after Part Six, on planet Wolf???
Main Conflict: Severe depression from being bullied by Ruby, a lesbian that enjoys sexually harassing her in between classes.
Chapter Summary: My name is Samantha, and I’m a fifteen year old girl that was born in the urban town of Sauna Creek, during the civil war between the north and south. My family was comfortably in the middle class, before the war impacted our lives. However you would think we were rich because of the large quantity of food we had lying around in our kitchen cabinets, however in truth mother tended to purchase our food in bulk. Frequently mother would purchase a lot even for that, and my parents were swimming in debt as a result. So they would bankrupt their credit cards, and buy a new one to keep us fed, so we could have the clothes on our backs, and other things they considered to be “bare basics” At dinner time, mother would frequently make spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, and we would get tired of it as a result.
“Don’t play with your pasta Jkovo.” My father fussed, while mother was to busy sticky her nose in a romance novel to pay attention to the noodles being tossed across the table into our fine china cabinet. However father would frequently want to bring up other issues, to mothers dismay. Jkovo did not seem to care one way or the other.
“There have been three casualties in the war so far. Have you heard about this one guy that got awards in-” Father began to say before he was cut off by mother.
“Shut up, Harold.” Mother said.
“Can it, this is important news.”
“Maybe so but,” mother began to say then put her book down, and gave father a scowly face., and then she added “but we don’t need to gross out the children, they need to eat as much as they can so the can concentrate on schoolwork. You want Jkovo to college right? And what about Samantha, you want her to remain a star student right?”
“I’m 17 mom, I think I’ll be fine.” Jkovo chimed in.
“If your 17, act like it by not slinging meatballs at me.” Father said.
“That’s enough Harold. apparently he can’t help himself.” Mother said.
“Well that’s true!” Father said.
“lollipop you dad!”
“No lollipop you!”
“OK guys that’s enough.” Mother said.
“Lets just all eat silently.” I proposed, although everyone else just laughed it off.
“So Sammy, are you still having a hard time with Ruby?” Father asked, though he probably new what the answer would be. Every since the beginning of the school year, me and her kind of had issues. Though it had gotten worse.
“May I talk about it after dinner?” I requested.
“Sure, just know that if she is hurting you, I can beat her up for you.” father said. I asked if I could be excused, and then I went to bed to make last minute correction on my math and science.
The next morning, my older brother poured a bucket of water over me to wake me up for school just like I asked.
“Thanks Jkovo!” I said, and gave him a hug of which he chuckled.
Over the past two weeks, I had the tendency to sleep in late and miss the bus. I had to rush to school. At least the school was only about a mile away, unlike a lot of the students that went to Saunacreek Elementary.
When I walked from class to class when the bell rang to go to sixth period, I hurried up to go to the restroom so that I can avoid Ruby, and get to class on time, of which my efforts were in vain. It was no uncommon for Ruby to be slightly mean, but these past two weeks had been the worst. The week before she picked me up, and threw me head first into the bathroom wall. I carefully tried to avoid her, but it was no use. I was pushed to the floor again, and then I was picked up, and thrown head first into the bathroom wall once again. Honestly I’m surprised my grades have not suffered much more than they had, you would think I would have gotten brain damage. As I was struggled to get up, her girlfriend pushed me with her boot to the floor, and Ruby molested my bottom. And then the bell rang.
“See ya baby.” Ruby said, in contradiction to how she treated me. I waited until Ruby left the restroom, and finally got the chance to use the restroom. On those two days I got a tardy slip because I was to afraid to come to class. I did not want to cause any more trouble, and I certainly did not want any cute boys to see me red.
Just remember Sammy, at least try to smile,
they will wonder what your up to. On second
thought, do I really want that?
So I pulled myself up by my bootstraps once I got off the toilet, and then walked to class. Once I arrived, I was met with a pleasant surprise.
“Samantha, this is the second time you been late. I shall ask you the question I was going to ask Ruby. What is the capital of Wisconsin?”
“Madison” Ruby’s girlfriend said before I had the chance to answer, of which Ruby gave her a high five.
“Although correct, Samantha needs to answer.” The teacher said, and then Ruby stuck her tongue out at me. And then the bell rang, most the students left. But my teacher asked me to stay behind to answer a question, of which I was hesitant to answer.
“Why have you been late to class Sammy? You use to be punctual all the time.” The teacher asked.
“If I said, how would I know I would not get in trouble for ringing about the exchange students?”
“You don’t have to curse Sammy, you can feel safe to tell me anything. I know something is wrong. Both the day before, and today you came in looking beat up.”
“And you still asked me the question, even though I looked like this?”
“I’m sorry.”
I gave her a slight disgruntled look, and then told her “Before class, I was molested by Ruby and her girlfriend.”
“Oh,...I see.” The teacher said, she went ahead and sent me home, and was nice enough not to give me a detention. How would I have known that though?
Once I got home, and opened the door into the living room, I could see my dad watching the evening news, and could smell my mother cooking the usual meal for us to eat tonight.
“Oh hello honey, how was school.” Father asked.
Can she tell I was beat up?
“It was OK,I guess.” I said darting my eyes back and forth.
“Are you sure, did something happen at school again?”
“I said I’m fine!” I yelled at him, and then went to my room and slammed the door. My father knocked on my door gently to ask if I was OK.”
“Could I have a moment to myself please?” I asked.
“Sure.” Father said, and then went back to watching the evening news.
The next day at school when I arrived in class, I found a letter directed to me in my desk. I had no idea who sent the letter to me, maybe a hot guy that was a little shy to tell me to my face. I knew I had to hide it, to I quickly put it in my backpack until lunch.
As I sat at the lunch table and began to eat my lunch, I packed for myself, I took my letter I had out of my backpack. I carefully tore it open, and read the contents:
Dear Samantha,
By the time you get this letter, you only have twenty four hours till I’m going to rape your ass, say your prayers.
Sincerely,
Ruby
I looked at the letter, and then wondered who wrote it. I then proceeded to finish my lunch, keeping a close eye on my surroundings.
Once i got back into class, I asked the teacher if I could talk to her privately outside the classroom, because I was scared that who ever wrote the letter would hear me.
“What’s wrong Sammy, you look pale, and you’re crying.”
“I think Ruby sent me a death threat. See, it matches her hand writing.”
“Wait what? I’ll take this up with the vice principal right away.”
Hook, line, and sinker. Its gone perfectly, they
are going to be gone in no time.
When I got home, I was able to finally relax with a feeling of accomplishment. Although dinner was the same as always, because of the mood I was in, it felt fresh and new. There was nothing like the smell of Victory and Tomato Sauce.
The next morning, I found that my father watching the morning news, and Jkovo was oddly intense.
“What is going on dad, and Jkovo, why did you not drive to school yet?” I asked.
“We are going to have to move to a different neighborhood. The school you guys use to go to was blown up by the northern army. We received a relocation notice in the mail” My father said.
“I wonder if my teacher is OK”
“I hate to have to tell you this Sammy, but I think she died in the explosion. When I drove by the school around 3:00 A.M, your teachers car was oddly enough still there. If she was still there, I think she died in the explosion.” Father told me. I wondered why she would still be there, she normally left right after.
I frequently have a substitute
because of her health problems.
I reflected back to when I first had my conversations with her.
There was the conversation were
I first told her what was going on:
“You don’t have to curse at me Sammy, you can feel safe to tell me anything. I’m your friend.”
“Your only paid to be my friend.” Was my final words to her, and then I ran out of the classroom.
In another conversation, I reflected back to when I told her about the letter I received from Ruby.
“What’s wrong Sammy, you look pale, and you’re crying.”
“I think Ruby sent me a death threat. See, it matches her hand writing.”
“Wait what? I’ll take this up with the vice principal right away.”
It was then I had a revelation, it was not Ruby that sent the letter to me. I wrote the letter to myself. I wanted to use it so that Ruby and her girlfriend would no longer molest me, and throw me to the wall. But now I wonder if i did the right thing. After all the teacher was truly asking out of concern, I realize that now.

X-2: Parasites Perspective (Meanwhile On Planet Wolf???) (216 Pages)
Main Character: Susie’s Parasite Form
Setting: A ruined Wolf???
Main Conflict: Finding a source of food, avoiding radiation.
Summary: My grandparents have told stories of the good old days when the planets temperature use to be more moderate. Then severe climate change kicked in which caused very cold temperature during the night, and very hot temperatures during the day. So we sort of adapted to living in a cold damp environment in the cave. Unfortunately as you can see from our appearance, there were some unfortunate side effects.
It does not really matter what time of day it is. Just like my brothers and sisters, I guess you could say we don't know whether it is night or day. In fact, down here really can't see a thing. We use our sonar and insect like feelers. We eat typical cavern craw-lies. Roaches, Giant Centipedes, and Psychotropic Spiders. We also have a special delicacy that we feel around the cave floor. One time I had one that had a fleshy texture. The root really kicked me around.
I guess I don't really know whether what I was eating was an insect or one one of us. You see, if we hear something move and were starving, we'll grab whatever it is. Sometimes because of our ability to not see in the cave, we tend to accidently eat each other. Texturally speaking, we tend to prefer to be in the cave, we because we can't see, sometimes we have a tendency to accidently walk into the city sewer. We have nothing against the alligators, their just food.
When I have an amazing invention called chocolate candy I find in the gas station in my adventures to the radio active surface, I tend to be hyper. I can be a bit of a safety hazard for other residents of the cavern, sometimes being beat up for running in to people. So I swore off chocolate except when I'm outside.
Generally my species tends to not feel very much. But we do have our moments sometimes.Me and my brothers and sisters tend to fight along with each other in packs to harvest food for us to eat. So I guess even if we hated each other, we can't really live without each other either. Family love you know. When there are no other food options, I have to pick my nose. sometimes it is annoying, because its a little hard to shove it up there due to the feelers along my fingertips.
XI: A young man’s perspective
Main Character: A Young Man
Setting: A desert planet, with a heat of 150f, and a cold of -32f. Inside the ruined domes are better, with a heat of 72-98, and a cold of 73.
Primary Conflict: figuring out what is going on is this abandoned town.
A Young Man’s Perspective Part One Summary: The last thing I remember was look into the red sky, with white swirly clouds hovering above me, and comet was shooting across into the horizon. It had been four hours since I had my crash in this desert landscape, civilization was not for a few more miles. I could feel the blazing heat sear my lightly tanned skin my headband causing my forehead to itch, my shoulder length black hair blowing across my face.
I could here a faint growl in the distance, which sounded like it was coming from a large creature. I turned around, and I could see in the horizon a large mutated dog gutting a mutated rabbit, for its lunch. I was hungry, and I was tired, but I had to force myself to the next town. So I tried to sneak behind the wolf, and grab the rabbit for myself.
...
....
.....Snap!
I was wrestled to the ground by the large mutated dog. It tried to tear me apart, but I noticed it was getting tired. So I shoved it off of me, and it struggled to keep me down. After I strangled it, and snapped its neck, it was determined that I should not waste valuable resources, so I skinned the hare like creature to make a coat, and skinned the dog like creature for a sleeping bag to use in case nights were cold. I used the paper from my survival guide to start a small fire, since the guide was no use anyway because the only plant life here are small weeds.
I coughed up, and my skin felt like a rash was coming on. I roasted the meat, and had a finer dinner than I had for breakfast early in the morning. It was getting later into the day, and the temperature was beginning to be a little more moderate. I could here the creatures of the night howling at the red moon covering the dark blue starry sky. And then I took out my sleeping bag, and dozed off.
I woke up when the cold wind breathed its breath on me. I carefully got up, and wrapped my sleeping bag back into a roll. I thought:
Time to hit the road, I’m getting thirsty.
I walked back into the desert, once again feeling the overbearing heat. Luckily it was a little cooler, being only a mere ninety eight degrees.
I hope there is a lake soon that I
could drink out of.
I walked along the trail, until I eventually found a small lake. By it was also a sign that said the town of Sauna Creek was about ten miles away. I noticed however that the water was a weird greenish blue, like it was effected by some kind of radiation. I decided I would just wait to find something once I reached into civilization. But before I reached into town, a large sandstorm was headed in my direction. So I ran into the cave, and spent my time there until the sandstorm died down. I could here odd noises from deep within, so I stayed close to the entrance.
After the storm died down, I exited the cave and headed once again to civilization.
Eventually I reached into town, to my north left was a large brick and wood sign that welcomed me to Sauna Creek. To my direct right, was a small gas station. And to the horizon in what seemed like about one block, was a small merchant town. To my north right was a small residential section. The whole place was covered in a thick green mist. I wondered if there was anybody in the station, maybe I could even be lucky enough to find a small map. I ran to the double doors, but found that they were locked.
Would somebody let me in?
I know it was a silly thought, but I was not exactly thinking clearly because I had not gotten much sleep. The town was oddly empty, but I figured since it was night, that everybody was asleep. I could see a large rock along the desert floor beside the road, so I picked it up, and threw it into the window.
As I got inside, oddly enough there was no alarm. Surely they would have heard the crash at least. Any live person anyway. Before getting the map, I needed to first get something to drink. I walked over to the refrigerator, opened it, and got myself a drink with an interesting name. I walked over to the counter, and rang the bell that was available in case anyone did not answer the first time. I received no answer. I was getting slightly impatient, so I walked over to the office door, and knocked.
...
....
.....
Still no answer. So I kicked down the door, and found the manager sitting at his desk.
“God door it, why are you not answering the bell. If its closed you should put a sign up.” I said, but received no justification, or any other indication of a human presence. I walked over to the chair, turned it toward me. I was taken aback when I turned him around. The corpses legs were horrendously dislocated, rats and bugs were crawling all over it. The rib cage had a slight mechanical structure. I could not believe what I was seeing. I figured that must have been why I was receiving no answer. Some large creature murdered the bloke.
I decided it would no longer be safe here, so I got my drink, and attempted to leave the station, however I could see a strange girl tapping her palms against the double doors. She had slightly deep set black eyes with a crazed expression one would associate with an era during a large scale war. She had short black hair, and was wearing a bloody white apron. I was not sure whether to hide, or go unlock the door. Could she not just go through the window? Just then, I saw her climb into the wall, and she disappeared onto the misty roof.
I unlocked the double doors, and walked outside. I could see no sign of the girl, and half expected that she would hop right into my back.
How did it get so cold all of a sudden?
It must be at least negative ten.
I rushed back inside, and decided I would rather risk being eaten by a monster in here, than freeze to death out there.
Once I got back inside, I found myself a yellow phone book, and tried to call the police to let them know there was a murder in here. But all I received was static. I decided I would stay here until morning. So I unwrapped my sleeping bag, and wrested my weary eyes.
In my third eye, I found myself in a familiar atmosphere. I opened my eyes, and found myself in my childhood bed. The door knocked, and I could here my mom knock on the door.
“Time to wake up Richard, your going to be late for school!” My mother said.
“Alright, getting up.” I said, but realized that I was still in the convenience store. I was torn between staying in a place I knew was safe, or exploring the town to figure out what was going on. My curiosity got the better of me, and I went to go investigate what was going on. I went back in the office, grabbed the map from the bulletin board, stuffed my suitcase full of energy drinks. As I got outside, there was a strange green fog that filled the air, and I could hardly navigate.
“How did it get so cold all of a sudden?" I asked myself, and went back inside, where I rested until daybreak.
After a couple of hours, the sun shone through. I could feel the air conditioning blow on my face, and I decided it would be a good time to leave. So I got my stuff, and exited the double doors. I was met my a familiar scorching heat from back when I first arrived here. I took out my cell phone, and tried to call my crew to come pick me up, but was met with an answering machine.
“If you dialed this number, please hang up the phone, or try again. If you would like to leave a messa-” the phone said before I hung up.
Wonderful, the only drinks here have a drug
to keep me awake all night, and to make matters
worse, my crew won’t answer my god door calls.
I hung up my phone and put it back in my pocket. As I walked along the road, I grimaced when I saw all the bloodied human corpses along the road. I had to resist the temptation to vomit when I saw corpses that were split in half, be-headed, and gutted.
What the hell happened here?
I could smell a strong scent of iron polluting the air.
I almost choked up when I saw a particular mangled body along the worn road, which was barely recognizable as a human being. I looked at it a little closer, and thought it looked similar to a small child. But I could not tell for sure because it was so mangled. Sure enough I had no more doubt when I saw I could also see the its eyes stare at me with a look of absolute dread.
When I finally reached the inter section, I could here odd groans that sounded like a large cat that had been castrated. I crouched down to take a closer listen to the sewer lid. It was coming from there. Maybe I can figure out what was going on. So I popped open the lid, and climbed down the ladder. When I reached the murky water below, I could not see a thing, so I turned on my flashlight.
As I went further into the storm drain, I could here the sound from back when I was in the cave again. My clothes were getting really wet now, and I was starting to not be able to tolerate the smell of gumdrop very well. What did these alien eat? As I sloshed further into what felt like my doom, I could see a faint silhouette of what looked like a little girl.
“Little girl, is that you?” I asked, but I received no answer. When I grabbed her, it turned around and tried to drown me in the water. But I managed to push it back. What the hell was this thing? I thought:
I have to get out of here. But
where can I hide?
As I ran back to the entrance, I could feel my heart pound as I tried to get away from the foul beast. It had no eyes, so I wondered how it could see. Then I noticed it had insect like feelers, and odd holes in its head. It must go by sonar down here. That would make since, since I did not have a flashlight on before. I was able to get to the storm drain latter, and it tried to pull me down. So I jerks its arm off of me.
When I got to the street above, I could see a little girl standing in the foggy horizon along Beardson Bluff Rd. I tried to go tell her it was not safe out here, then I noticed she looked like the girl from before when she turned around and looked at me. Then I felt a looming presence coming for me.
...
....
.....
CREAK!!!
I saw the creature from before open the lid to come get me. When it tried to grab me, I dodged out of the way, and tried to run. But the foul beast came with a crew, and its team snuck behind me, I tried to save the girl that was being dragged off for their meal, but I was strangled by his crew into unconsciousness.
I woke up later that afternoon, and found myself back in the gas station. I thought I was just seeing things when I saw that girl. Where was everybody, what the hell was going on? I needed some kind of weapon to defend myself. I could use an axe. So I looked around the store to see if I could find one, of which I could not. I wondered if maybe I could use that rock to break of an exhaust pipe. I picked up the rock that I found from back when I first broke in. I grabbed it, but because of how tired I was I could barely pick it up. I got myself another energy drink, and I was wide awake. I picked up the rock, and threw it outside the window, from I climbed back out in the green fog.
Where am I going to find a car?
Wait, silly question. It would be in a
parking lot you dum dum.
I picked the rock back up, and needed directions to find a parking lot. I could use this in the school parking lot. So I forced myself to walk further, through the hard to navigate road, and eventually arrived at the school parking lot. There was a surprisingly little amount of cars here, and they all look rusted and torn, just like the ground I was walking on. And then I found a barely recognizable hunk of iron that looked like it was once a truck. It was an old model, an A-167. I hunched over, and raised my rock.
Gosh, I wonder if anyone is going
to miss this piece.
How silly of my to think that, there was nobody around. Or any human at least. The hand of the bloody child was still on my mind. I resisted once again the temptation to vomit. I thought:
Really though, what did happen here?
I pushed the thought out of my mind, and promptly worked as hard as I could to break it off, before the creatures came outside to feast on human flesh. After I broke off the exhaust pipe, I needed to find that girl so I could figure out what was going on. What are these things I’ve been seeing?
I got myself back up off of the pavement, and then I ran back to the main part of town. It was starting to get cold again, it felt like it was about sixty seven degrees. When I arrived back at Janulo street, I could see those creatures wondering aimlessly through the street.
I needed to find the girl, but how was suppose I going to get past these guys? It was not long that I was almost to the intersection, when I was attacked by a group of the creatures. As they tried to surround me, I took my exhaust pipe, and struck each one. However there was something odd. I was not able to kill these. They just froze for a certain amount of time, then went back to their normal routine of hunting for food. When I arrived at Bristle brick avenue, I found the girl from earlier barely alive, and being tormented by the creatures that knocked me out from earlier. I thought:
What should I do? Oh I know. Lets drop a
heavy object from somewhere.
So I climbed the building latter, and used my pipe to break off a piece of brick from one of the buildings walls. And then I walked over to the left side of the building pointing outside town, and threw the piece on to the ground.
...
....
.....
Crash!
It worked, the creatures heard something, and thought it was something alive over on that side. I used that opportunity to grab the girl.
Once I arrived, I tried to find something to patch her wounds, and so I found a first aid kit. I needed to find a safer place to hide, and fast. I wrapped the girl up in my coat, because it was already getting cold outside. And then I walked through the double doors. Outside, the creatures were gone, but it was still hard to navigate due to the thick green mist. I thought:
This place looks like a war zone. Maybe her
parents died in the war.
When I finally found a suitable brick cabin to hide, I placed the girl down on the porch, and then tried to open it. The door was locked, so I took my exhaust from my suitcase, and started to break down the door. I new it was getting later, so I needed inside fast. When I busted the door down, and placed the girl on the couch. Then I got some broken off boards from the door, and used them to patch the doorway closed. When I took a look at her, I said “Poor thing, you must be tired.”
So I picked her up, and then opened one of the children’s bedroom doors. I had an odd feeling about the place, a sudden chill went down my spine, and I half expected one of the creatures would be hiding in the bedroom. So I had to be prepared to throw it out.
I opened the door, and no one was there. I then tucked the girl in the covers.
“You know, looks wise you remind me a lot of my mother. I guess you could say thats one of the reasons I saved you.” I said to her, knowing she was to far along in the sleep cycle to really hear what I was saying. I found a Teddy bear in one of the toy boxed under the bed, and placed it into her arm.
I then exited the room, and felt the need to use the restroom. I walked in, and to my horror found one of the creatures boarded up in here with us.
“How did you get in here?” I asked, and then beat its head into the bath tub wall until it fell in the tub unconscious.
I then picked the body up, and locked it in the parents closet room. One live one kept in there was not going to be as bad as a whole group of them, so I did not bother trying to kill it. I went to check on the girl one more time. She was still asleep. I then went into the living room to sleep on the couch.
Throughout the rest of the night I had a hard time getting to sleep, because I constantly heard the odd creatures climbing on the house room trying to get in. I thought:
You want us for lunch,
you stupid fucks?
When I woke up the next morning, I began to worry if the girl was still in the house. I got no sleep last night from worrying whether the creature would sneak into the house or not. At one point the night before, I thought I could here one of the beasts crash in the kitchen, and so I went to go check it out. I carefully clung to the walls outside the kitchen in the living room, and then peered along the edge of the entrance to see what was there.
“Little girl, is that you?” I asked the silhouette figure. I looked a little closer, and realized there was know one there. But the refrigerator was left open.
I exited the house to go find her, and then started my walk to Janulo St through the residential section. Before I walked to the sewer again, I turned around and noted that the creatures that were crawling on our roof were not there now.
I wondered if they were ever there at all. Ever since I arrived here, I have felt like I was high on some kind of hallucinogenic drug. I thought:
Where are the fuckers now?
I turned back around, and ran to the manhole to reach the sewer I went through before. Before going in, I paused to look at the rotting bodies of men women and children on the road that night. I reflected back to an earlier time when I first saw them.
I grimaced when I remember what looked like a small child, although I did not know that's what it was at that time. I remember when I looked at one of the non bloody hands of the person, the smoothness of the skin removed all doubt and speculation.
I picked myself back up from my crouching position, and ran to the manhole near the second intersection. I tried opening it, but I could see the parasitic creatures from before scanning the sewer floor in search of food, so I was forced to take the long route to the cave, or at least I thought it was the same cave. I turned around, and ran past the rotting bodies, and eventually paused to take a glance at the gas station that I visited when I first arrived here. I reflected back to see if I was mis remembering anything:
That day, I walked through the double doors to get myself a drink after the long route in the desert. I tried to buy myself a drink, but I received no service. That was when the strange stuff began to happen. I knocked on the managers door, and then took a listen through the door to see if there was any activity.
I could here crawling behind the door, so I walked in, and found the managers body lying on the floor of the office. It had maggots and rats fighting for the flesh for food, the neck was snapped, and the legs were horrendously dislocated. I tried calling the police, but all I could receive was static. And then I snapped out of my trance, and ran to the towns exit.
Eventually, I arrived back at the lake I visited before. I could recognize the greenish bluish color, and its odd thickness. It is as much the case now as it was now that I refused to take a sip of it.
I then arrived at the cave I visited before when I took that rest from the hot sun that was giving me a good rash. I took a look at my right arm, I could feel the skin turn into scales. I eventually walked deeper into the cave, where I was attacked by parasitic bipedal creatures before arriving at a glowing metal door. I thought:
This must have been the room that
I was hearing odd noises from.
I opened the door, and found myself in a lab that reminded of something from a science fiction movie. What intrigued me more, even terrified me was that I was in the credits in the manuscripts on the desk; special thanks went to me and my team for special innovation in stem cell research and military technology.
They had one test subject They tested on. he was provided as a prisoner of the war between north and south Sauna Creek:
Date: 3-12-3020
According to our observations of the specimen in question, we observed odd behaviors after we inserted the needle into his eyes. For a while Patient X seemed to be functioning fine as any prisoner of war should. Eventually we noticed that not only was he immune to glaucoma, he also appeared to experience paranoid delusions, and had a violent temper.
He also began to express how much he missed his squad. He talked to much, so we sewn his mouth shut. At night we could here loud rapping noises from inside the cell. We went to go see what was going on, the prisoner had apparently escaped. To this day we have no located himself.
For those that have seen them, we shall give a 5,000,000 dollar reward, however we would love it if you returned our dinner tray. To stun him, I have stored liquid mace in my shelf. If its locked so escaped prisoners could not use it on us. Use the added sum of 7 - 3, 1 + 5, 2 x 1, and 7 x 3 to open the lock.
Date: 3-15-3020
I'm here to make an note about odd things that go on here at night when other patients are asleep. At night, me and my lab mates heard an odd wrapping noise from inside the prison cell we once incarcerated Patient X. I sent my crew to go see what was going on, but when they came back, they told me it looked the same was as we first left it, and that know one was there.

Richard took out his cell phone to call his mother, who was working at a government sponsored hospital at the time.
"Mom, I got something to tell you, I found a wounded guy eating mold out of the sewer, he looks hurt. Maybe you should come home and take a look at him!"
"You know those kids are dirty, I don't want those rats in my house."
"Come on mom, please." Richard begged, but it was futile.

VI: Eve’s Perspective (In Vitro Super Soldier) (216 Pages)
Main Character: Eve, The first Android Clone Hybrid
Setting: Right after Part Six
Primary conflict: Richard builds Eve in the image of his first girlfriend Ellen, who died prematurely. However their are unintended side effects.
My name is Eve, and I was created as a mix between and android, and a person formed from cloned cell tissue. My memories are the same as Ellen’s, because her memories were stored in a super computer, along with her decapitated head, in hopes of someday finding a way to bring her back to life. Richard felt like he was repairing Ellen, when he built me. But someday, I feel so much more than that.
What are clones? Clones are produced by using tissue that has already come from an existing person or animal. The stem cells are then taken, and used to form a fetus. The fetus is then injected into a uterine replicator, and grown to childbirth.
Artificial Humans by contrast, have a artificially intelligent brain, their skeleton is typically metallic. The flesh on their bones has not come from a previous complete owner, but was grown in vitro. Whether they would grow up to become abnormal children is not known yet, because the first individual died in childbirth.
The way they reproduce is different, specifically in vaginal sex. Just like how girls are equipped with different parts from men, artificial humans are equipped with the set number of children they can conceive in what they call a tool set. They have a tool set, we have eggs and sperm.
If a human male tried to put his own spaghetti into an artificial human girls cloud, the cloud would not know what to do with it, because its not a power drill. Its puts a whole new meaning to the term, giving the girl a drill. And then we have Artificial Human (Biological robot) clone hybrids.
These are grown like the clones, except in childbirth, they are equipped with artificial human reproductive parts, and given In Vitro arms and legs. They have the benefits of having human emotions, but the reproductive organs of artificial humans. Scientists do this, so they their children don’t grow up to become abnormal.
Because I was the first artificial human clone hybrid, I was still born with similar abnormalities earlier clones had. They could not get the kink’s out of the system, and I was born with psychokinetic powers. Later models were improved, I’m the only one with this phenomenon for some reason.
VII: Samantha’s Perspective (The Letter) (17 Pages)
Main Character: Samantha
Setting: Right after Part Six, on planet Wolf???
Main Conflict: Severe depression from being bullied by Ruby, a lesbian that enjoys sexually harassing her in between classes.
Chapter Summary: My name is Samantha, and I’m a fifteen year old girl that was born in the urban town of Sauna Creek, during the civil war between the north and south. My family was comfortably in the middle class, before the war impacted our lives. However you would think we were rich because of the large quantity of food we had lying around in our kitchen cabinets, however in truth mother tended to purchase our food in bulk. Frequently mother would purchase a lot even for that, and my parents were swimming in debt as a result. So they would bankrupt their credit cards, and buy a new one to keep us fed, so we could have the clothes on our backs, and other things they considered to be “bare basics” At dinner time, mother would frequently make spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, and we would get tired of it as a result.
“Don’t play with your pasta Jkovo.” My father fussed, while mother was to busy sticky her nose in a romance novel to pay attention to the noodles being tossed across the table into our fine china cabinet. However father would frequently want to bring up other issues, to mothers dismay. Jkovo did not seem to care one way or the other.
“There have been three casualties in the war so far. Have you heard about this one guy that got awards in-” Father began to say before he was cut off by mother.
“Shut up, Harold.” Mother said.
“Can it, this is important news.”
“Maybe so but,” mother began to say then put her book down, and gave father a scowly face., and then she added “but we don’t need to gross out the children, they need to eat as much as they can so the can concentrate on schoolwork. You want Jkovo to college right? And what about Samantha, you want her to remain a star student right?”
“I’m 17 mom, I think I’ll be fine.” Jkovo chimed in.
“If your 17, act like it by not slinging meatballs at me.” Father said.
“That’s enough Harold. apparently he can’t help himself.” Mother said.
“Well that’s true!” Father said.
“lollipop you dad!”
“No lollipop you!”
“OK guys that’s enough.” Mother said.
“Lets just all eat silently.” I proposed, although everyone else just laughed it off.
“So Sammy, are you still having a hard time with Ruby?” Father asked, though he probably new what the answer would be. Every since the beginning of the school year, me and her kind of had issues. Though it had gotten worse.
“May I talk about it after dinner?” I requested.
“Sure, just know that if she is hurting you, I can beat her up for you.” father said. I asked if I could be excused, and then I went to bed to make last minute correction on my math and science.
The next morning, my older brother poured a bucket of water over me to wake me up for school just like I asked.
“Thanks Jkovo!” I said, and gave him a hug of which he chuckled.
Over the past two weeks, I had the tendency to sleep in late and miss the bus. I had to rush to school. At least the school was only about a mile away, unlike a lot of the students that went to Saunacreek Elementary.
When I walked from class to class when the bell rang to go to sixth period, I hurried up to go to the restroom so that I can avoid Ruby, and get to class on time, of which my efforts were in vain. It was no uncommon for Ruby to be slightly mean, but these past two weeks had been the worst. The week before she picked me up, and threw me head first into the bathroom wall. I carefully tried to avoid her, but it was no use. I was pushed to the floor again, and then I was picked up, and thrown head first into the bathroom wall once again. Honestly I’m surprised my grades have not suffered much more than they had, you would think I would have gotten brain damage. As I was struggled to get up, her girlfriend pushed me with her boot to the floor, and Ruby molested my bottom. And then the bell rang.
“See ya baby.” Ruby said, in contradiction to how she treated me. I waited until Ruby left the restroom, and finally got the chance to use the restroom. On those two days I got a tardy slip because I was to afraid to come to class. I did not want to cause any more trouble, and I certainly did not want any cute boys to see me red.
Just remember Sammy, at least try to smile,
they will wonder what your up to. On second
thought, do I really want that?
So I pulled myself up by my bootstraps once I got off the toilet, and then walked to class. Once I arrived, I was met with a pleasant surprise.
“Samantha, this is the second time you been late. I shall ask you the question I was going to ask Ruby. What is the capital of Wisconsin?”
“Madison” Ruby’s girlfriend said before I had the chance to answer, of which Ruby gave her a high five.
“Although correct, Samantha needs to answer.” The teacher said, and then Ruby stuck her tongue out at me. And then the bell rang, most the students left. But my teacher asked me to stay behind to answer a question, of which I was hesitant to answer.
“Why have you been late to class Sammy? You use to be punctual all the time.” The teacher asked.
“If I said, how would I know I would not get in trouble for ringing about the exchange students?”
“You don’t have to curse Sammy, you can feel safe to tell me anything. I know something is wrong. Both the day before, and today you came in looking beat up.”
“And you still asked me the question, even though I looked like this?”
“I’m sorry.”
I gave her a slight disgruntled look, and then told her “Before class, I was molested by Ruby and her girlfriend.”
“Oh,...I see.” The teacher said, she went ahead and sent me home, and was nice enough not to give me a detention. How would I have known that though?
Once I got home, and opened the door into the living room, I could see my dad watching the evening news, and could smell my mother cooking the usual meal for us to eat tonight.
“Oh hello honey, how was school.” Father asked.
Can she tell I was beat up?
“It was OK,I guess.” I said darting my eyes back and forth.
“Are you sure, did something happen at school again?”
“I said I’m fine!” I yelled at him, and then went to my room and slammed the door. My father knocked on my door gently to ask if I was OK.”
“Could I have a moment to myself please?” I asked.
“Sure.” Father said, and then went back to watching the evening news.
The next day at school when I arrived in class, I found a letter directed to me in my desk. I had no idea who sent the letter to me, maybe a hot guy that was a little shy to tell me to my face. I knew I had to hide it, to I quickly put it in my backpack until lunch.
As I sat at the lunch table and began to eat my lunch, I packed for myself, I took my letter I had out of my backpack. I carefully tore it open, and read the contents:
Dear Samantha,
By the time you get this letter, you only have twenty four hours till I’m going to rape your ass, say your prayers.
Sincerely,
Ruby
I looked at the letter, and then wondered who wrote it. I then proceeded to finish my lunch, keeping a close eye on my surroundings.
Once i got back into class, I asked the teacher if I could talk to her privately outside the classroom, because I was scared that who ever wrote the letter would hear me.
“What’s wrong Sammy, you look pale, and you’re crying.”
“I think Ruby sent me a death threat. See, it matches her hand writing.”
“Wait what? I’ll take this up with the vice principal right away.”
Hook, line, and sinker. Its gone perfectly, they
are going to be gone in no time.
When I got home, I was able to finally relax with a feeling of accomplishment. Although dinner was the same as always, because of the mood I was in, it felt fresh and new. There was nothing like the smell of Victory and Tomato Sauce.
The next morning, I found that my father watching the morning news, and Jkovo was oddly intense.
“What is going on dad, and Jkovo, why did you not drive to school yet?” I asked.
“We are going to have to move to a different neighborhood. The school you guys use to go to was blown up by the northern army. We received a relocation notice in the mail” My father said.
“I wonder if my teacher is OK”
“I hate to have to tell you this Sammy, but I think she died in the explosion. When I drove by the school around 3:00 A.M, your teachers car was oddly enough still there. If she was still there, I think she died in the explosion.” Father told me. I wondered why she would still be there, she normally left right after.
I frequently have a substitute
because of her health problems.
I reflected back to when I first had my conversations with her.
There was the conversation were
I first told her what was going on:
“You don’t have to curse at me Sammy, you can feel safe to tell me anything. I’m your friend.”
“Your only paid to be my friend.” Was my final words to her, and then I ran out of the classroom.
In another conversation, I reflected back to when I told her about the letter I received from Ruby.
“What’s wrong Sammy, you look pale, and you’re crying.”
“I think Ruby sent me a death threat. See, it matches her hand writing.”
“Wait what? I’ll take this up with the vice principal right away.”
It was then I had a revelation, it was not Ruby that sent the letter to me. I wrote the letter to myself. I wanted to use it so that Ruby and her girlfriend would no longer molest me, and throw me to the wall. But now I wonder if i did the right thing. After all the teacher was truly asking out of concern, I realize that now.

X-2: Parasites Perspective (Meanwhile On Planet Wolf???) (216 Pages)
Main Character: Susie’s Parasite Form
Setting: A ruined Wolf???
Main Conflict: Finding a source of food, avoiding radiation.
Summary: My grandparents have told stories of the good old days when the planets temperature use to be more moderate. Then severe climate change kicked in which caused very cold temperature during the night, and very hot temperatures during the day. So we sort of adapted to living in a cold damp environment in the cave. Unfortunately as you can see from our appearance, there were some unfortunate side effects.
It does not really matter what time of day it is. Just like my brothers and sisters, I guess you could say we don't know whether it is night or day. In fact, down here really can't see a thing. We use our sonar and insect like feelers. We eat typical cavern craw-lies. Roaches, Giant Centipedes, and Psychotropic Spiders. We also have a special delicacy that we feel around the cave floor. One time I had one that had a fleshy texture. The root really kicked me around.
I guess I don't really know whether what I was eating was an insect or one one of us. You see, if we hear something move and were starving, we'll grab whatever it is. Sometimes because of our ability to not see in the cave, we tend to accidently eat each other. Texturally speaking, we tend to prefer to be in the cave, we because we can't see, sometimes we have a tendency to accidently walk into the city sewer. We have nothing against the alligators, their just food.
When I have an amazing invention called chocolate candy I find in the gas station in my adventures to the radio active surface, I tend to be hyper. I can be a bit of a safety hazard for other residents of the cavern, sometimes being beat up for running in to people. So I swore off chocolate except when I'm outside.
Generally my species tends to not feel very much. But we do have our moments sometimes.Me and my brothers and sisters tend to fight along with each other in packs to harvest food for us to eat. So I guess even if we hated each other, we can't really live without each other either. Family love you know. When there are no other food options, I have to pick my nose. sometimes it is annoying, because its a little hard to shove it up there due to the feelers along my fingertips.
XI: A young man’s perspective
Main Character: A Young Man
Setting: A desert planet, with a heat of 150f, and a cold of -32f. Inside the ruined domes are better, with a heat of 72-98, and a cold of 73.
Primary Conflict: figuring out what is going on is this abandoned town.
A Young Man’s Perspective Part One Summary: The last thing I remember was look into the red sky, with white swirly clouds hovering above me, and comet was shooting across into the horizon. It had been four hours since I had my crash in this desert landscape, civilization was not for a few more miles. I could feel the blazing heat sear my lightly tanned skin my headband causing my forehead to itch, my shoulder length black hair blowing across my face.
I could here a faint growl in the distance, which sounded like it was coming from a large creature. I turned around, and I could see in the horizon a large mutated dog gutting a mutated rabbit, for its lunch. I was hungry, and I was tired, but I had to force myself to the next town. So I tried to sneak behind the wolf, and grab the rabbit for myself.
...
....
.....Snap!
I was wrestled to the ground by the large mutated dog. It tried to tear me apart, but I noticed it was getting tired. So I shoved it off of me, and it struggled to keep me down. After I strangled it, and snapped its neck, it was determined that I should not waste valuable resources, so I skinned the hare like creature to make a coat, and skinned the dog like creature for a sleeping bag to use in case nights were cold. I used the paper from my survival guide to start a small fire, since the guide was no use anyway because the only plant life here are small weeds.
I coughed up, and my skin felt like a rash was coming on. I roasted the meat, and had a finer dinner than I had for breakfast early in the morning. It was getting later into the day, and the temperature was beginning to be a little more moderate. I could here the creatures of the night howling at the red moon covering the dark blue starry sky. And then I took out my sleeping bag, and dozed off.
I woke up when the cold wind breathed its breath on me. I carefully got up, and wrapped my sleeping bag back into a roll. I thought:
Time to hit the road, I’m getting thirsty.
I walked back into the desert, once again feeling the overbearing heat. Luckily it was a little cooler, being only a mere ninety eight degrees.
I hope there is a lake soon that I
could drink out of.
I walked along the trail, until I eventually found a small lake. By it was also a sign that said the town of Sauna Creek was about ten miles away. I noticed however that the water was a weird greenish blue, like it was effected by some kind of radiation. I decided I would just wait to find something once I reached into civilization. But before I reached into town, a large sandstorm was headed in my direction. So I ran into the cave, and spent my time there until the sandstorm died down. I could here odd noises from deep within, so I stayed close to the entrance.
After the storm died down, I exited the cave and headed once again to civilization.
Eventually I reached into town, to my north left was a large brick and wood sign that welcomed me to Sauna Creek. To my direct right, was a small gas station. And to the horizon in what seemed like about one block, was a small merchant town. To my north right was a small residential section. The whole place was covered in a thick green mist. I wondered if there was anybody in the station, maybe I could even be lucky enough to find a small map. I ran to the double doors, but found that they were locked.
Would somebody let me in?
I know it was a silly thought, but I was not exactly thinking clearly because I had not gotten much sleep. The town was oddly empty, but I figured since it was night, that everybody was asleep. I could see a large rock along the desert floor beside the road, so I picked it up, and threw it into the window.
As I got inside, oddly enough there was no alarm. Surely they would have heard the crash at least. Any live person anyway. Before getting the map, I needed to first get something to drink. I walked over to the refrigerator, opened it, and got myself a drink with an interesting name. I walked over to the counter, and rang the bell that was available in case anyone did not answer the first time. I received no answer. I was getting slightly impatient, so I walked over to the office door, and knocked.
...
....
.....
Still no answer. So I kicked down the door, and found the manager sitting at his desk.
“God door it, why are you not answering the bell. If its closed you should put a sign up.” I said, but received no justification, or any other indication of a human presence. I walked over to the chair, turned it toward me. I was taken aback when I turned him around. The corpses legs were horrendously dislocated, rats and bugs were crawling all over it. The rib cage had a slight mechanical structure. I could not believe what I was seeing. I figured that must have been why I was receiving no answer. Some large creature murdered the bloke.
I decided it would no longer be safe here, so I got my drink, and attempted to leave the station, however I could see a strange girl tapping her palms against the double doors. She had slightly deep set black eyes with a crazed expression one would associate with an era during a large scale war. She had short black hair, and was wearing a bloody white apron. I was not sure whether to hide, or go unlock the door. Could she not just go through the window? Just then, I saw her climb into the wall, and she disappeared onto the misty roof.
I unlocked the double doors, and walked outside. I could see no sign of the girl, and half expected that she would hop right into my back.
How did it get so cold all of a sudden?
It must be at least negative ten.
I rushed back inside, and decided I would rather risk being eaten by a monster in here, than freeze to death out there.
Once I got back inside, I found myself a yellow phone book, and tried to call the police to let them know there was a murder in here. But all I received was static. I decided I would stay here until morning. So I unwrapped my sleeping bag, and wrested my weary eyes.
In my third eye, I found myself in a familiar atmosphere. I opened my eyes, and found myself in my childhood bed. The door knocked, and I could here my mom knock on the door.
“Time to wake up Richard, your going to be late for school!” My mother said.
“Alright, getting up.” I said, but realized that I was still in the convenience store. I was torn between staying in a place I knew was safe, or exploring the town to figure out what was going on. My curiosity got the better of me, and I went to go investigate what was going on. I went back in the office, grabbed the map from the bulletin board, stuffed my suitcase full of energy drinks. As I got outside, there was a strange green fog that filled the air, and I could hardly navigate.
“How did it get so cold all of a sudden?" I asked myself, and went back inside, where I rested until daybreak.
After a couple of hours, the sun shone through. I could feel the air conditioning blow on my face, and I decided it would be a good time to leave. So I got my stuff, and exited the double doors. I was met my a familiar scorching heat from back when I first arrived here. I took out my cell phone, and tried to call my crew to come pick me up, but was met with an answering machine.
“If you dialed this number, please hang up the phone, or try again. If you would like to leave a messa-” the phone said before I hung up.
Wonderful, the only drinks here have a drug
to keep me awake all night, and to make matters
worse, my crew won’t answer my god door calls.
I hung up my phone and put it back in my pocket. As I walked along the road, I grimaced when I saw all the bloodied human corpses along the road. I had to resist the temptation to vomit when I saw corpses that were split in half, be-headed, and gutted.
What the hell happened here?
I could smell a strong scent of iron polluting the air.
I almost choked up when I saw a particular mangled body along the worn road, which was barely recognizable as a human being. I looked at it a little closer, and thought it looked similar to a small child. But I could not tell for sure because it was so mangled. Sure enough I had no more doubt when I saw I could also see the its eyes stare at me with a look of absolute dread.
When I finally reached the inter section, I could here odd groans that sounded like a large cat that had been castrated. I crouched down to take a closer listen to the sewer lid. It was coming from there. Maybe I can figure out what was going on. So I popped open the lid, and climbed down the ladder. When I reached the murky water below, I could not see a thing, so I turned on my flashlight.
As I went further into the storm drain, I could here the sound from back when I was in the cave again. My clothes were getting really wet now, and I was starting to not be able to tolerate the smell of gumdrop very well. What did these alien eat? As I sloshed further into what felt like my doom, I could see a faint silhouette of what looked like a little girl.
“Little girl, is that you?” I asked, but I received no answer. When I grabbed her, it turned around and tried to drown me in the water. But I managed to push it back. What the hell was this thing? I thought:
I have to get out of here. But
where can I hide?
As I ran back to the entrance, I could feel my heart pound as I tried to get away from the foul beast. It had no eyes, so I wondered how it could see. Then I noticed it had insect like feelers, and odd holes in its head. It must go by sonar down here. That would make since, since I did not have a flashlight on before. I was able to get to the storm drain latter, and it tried to pull me down. So I jerks its arm off of me.
When I got to the street above, I could see a little girl standing in the foggy horizon along Beardson Bluff Rd. I tried to go tell her it was not safe out here, then I noticed she looked like the girl from before when she turned around and looked at me. Then I felt a looming presence coming for me.
...
....
.....
CREAK!!!
I saw the creature from before open the lid to come get me. When it tried to grab me, I dodged out of the way, and tried to run. But the foul beast came with a crew, and its team snuck behind me, I tried to save the girl that was being dragged off for their meal, but I was strangled by his crew into unconsciousness.
I woke up later that afternoon, and found myself back in the gas station. I thought I was just seeing things when I saw that girl. Where was everybody, what the hell was going on? I needed some kind of weapon to defend myself. I could use an axe. So I looked around the store to see if I could find one, of which I could not. I wondered if maybe I could use that rock to break of an exhaust pipe. I picked up the rock that I found from back when I first broke in. I grabbed it, but because of how tired I was I could barely pick it up. I got myself another energy drink, and I was wide awake. I picked up the rock, and threw it outside the window, from I climbed back out in the green fog.
Where am I going to find a car?
Wait, silly question. It would be in a
parking lot you dum dum.
I picked the rock back up, and needed directions to find a parking lot. I could use this in the school parking lot. So I forced myself to walk further, through the hard to navigate road, and eventually arrived at the school parking lot. There was a surprisingly little amount of cars here, and they all look rusted and torn, just like the ground I was walking on. And then I found a barely recognizable hunk of iron that looked like it was once a truck. It was an old model, an A-167. I hunched over, and raised my rock.
Gosh, I wonder if anyone is going
to miss this piece.
How silly of my to think that, there was nobody around. Or any human at least. The hand of the bloody child was still on my mind. I resisted once again the temptation to vomit. I thought:
Really though, what did happen here?
I pushed the thought out of my mind, and promptly worked as hard as I could to break it off, before the creatures came outside to feast on human flesh. After I broke off the exhaust pipe, I needed to find that girl so I could figure out what was going on. What are these things I’ve been seeing?
I got myself back up off of the pavement, and then I ran back to the main part of town. It was starting to get cold again, it felt like it was about sixty seven degrees. When I arrived back at Janulo street, I could see those creatures wondering aimlessly through the street.
I needed to find the girl, but how was suppose I going to get past these guys? It was not long that I was almost to the intersection, when I was attacked by a group of the creatures. As they tried to surround me, I took my exhaust pipe, and struck each one. However there was something odd. I was not able to kill these. They just froze for a certain amount of time, then went back to their normal routine of hunting for food. When I arrived at Bristle brick avenue, I found the girl from earlier barely alive, and being tormented by the creatures that knocked me out from earlier. I thought:
What should I do? Oh I know. Lets drop a
heavy object from somewhere.
So I climbed the building latter, and used my pipe to break off a piece of brick from one of the buildings walls. And then I walked over to the left side of the building pointing outside town, and threw the piece on to the ground.
...
....
.....
Crash!
It worked, the creatures heard something, and thought it was something alive over on that side. I used that opportunity to grab the girl.
Once I arrived, I tried to find something to patch her wounds, and so I found a first aid kit. I needed to find a safer place to hide, and fast. I wrapped the girl up in my coat, because it was already getting cold outside. And then I walked through the double doors. Outside, the creatures were gone, but it was still hard to navigate due to the thick green mist. I thought:
This place looks like a war zone. Maybe her
parents died in the war.
When I finally found a suitable brick cabin to hide, I placed the girl down on the porch, and then tried to open it. The door was locked, so I took my exhaust from my suitcase, and started to break down the door. I new it was getting later, so I needed inside fast. When I busted the door down, and placed the girl on the couch. Then I got some broken off boards from the door, and used them to patch the doorway closed. When I took a look at her, I said “Poor thing, you must be tired.”
So I picked her up, and then opened one of the children’s bedroom doors. I had an odd feeling about the place, a sudden chill went down my spine, and I half expected one of the creatures would be hiding in the bedroom. So I had to be prepared to throw it out.
I opened the door, and no one was there. I then tucked the girl in the covers.
“You know, looks wise you remind me a lot of my mother. I guess you could say thats one of the reasons I saved you.” I said to her, knowing she was to far along in the sleep cycle to really hear what I was saying. I found a Teddy bear in one of the toy boxed under the bed, and placed it into her arm.
I then exited the room, and felt the need to use the restroom. I walked in, and to my horror found one of the creatures boarded up in here with us.
“How did you get in here?” I asked, and then beat its head into the bath tub wall until it fell in the tub unconscious.
I then picked the body up, and locked it in the parents closet room. One live one kept in there was not going to be as bad as a whole group of them, so I did not bother trying to kill it. I went to check on the girl one more time. She was still asleep. I then went into the living room to sleep on the couch.
Throughout the rest of the night I had a hard time getting to sleep, because I constantly heard the odd creatures climbing on the house room trying to get in. I thought:
You want us for lunch,
you stupid fucks?
When I woke up the next morning, I began to worry if the girl was still in the house. I got no sleep last night from worrying whether the creature would sneak into the house or not. At one point the night before, I thought I could here one of the beasts crash in the kitchen, and so I went to go check it out. I carefully clung to the walls outside the kitchen in the living room, and then peered along the edge of the entrance to see what was there.
“Little girl, is that you?” I asked the silhouette figure. I looked a little closer, and realized there was know one there. But the refrigerator was left open.
I exited the house to go find her, and then started my walk to Janulo St through the residential section. Before I walked to the sewer again, I turned around and noted that the creatures that were crawling on our roof were not there now.
I wondered if they were ever there at all. Ever since I arrived here, I have felt like I was high on some kind of hallucinogenic drug. I thought:
Where are the fuckers now?
I turned back around, and ran to the manhole to reach the sewer I went through before. Before going in, I paused to look at the rotting bodies of men women and children on the road that night. I reflected back to an earlier time when I first saw them.
I grimaced when I remember what looked like a small child, although I did not know that's what it was at that time. I remember when I looked at one of the non bloody hands of the person, the smoothness of the skin removed all doubt and speculation.
I picked myself back up from my crouching position, and ran to the manhole near the second intersection. I tried opening it, but I could see the parasitic creatures from before scanning the sewer floor in search of food, so I was forced to take the long route to the cave, or at least I thought it was the same cave. I turned around, and ran past the rotting bodies, and eventually paused to take a glance at the gas station that I visited when I first arrived here. I reflected back to see if I was mis remembering anything:
That day, I walked through the double doors to get myself a drink after the long route in the desert. I tried to buy myself a drink, but I received no service. That was when the strange stuff began to happen. I knocked on the managers door, and then took a listen through the door to see if there was any activity.
I could here crawling behind the door, so I walked in, and found the managers body lying on the floor of the office. It had maggots and rats fighting for the flesh for food, the neck was snapped, and the legs were horrendously dislocated. I tried calling the police, but all I could receive was static. And then I snapped out of my trance, and ran to the towns exit.
Eventually, I arrived back at the lake I visited before. I could recognize the greenish bluish color, and its odd thickness. It is as much the case now as it was now that I refused to take a sip of it.
I then arrived at the cave I visited before when I took that rest from the hot sun that was giving me a good rash. I took a look at my right arm, I could feel the skin turn into scales. I eventually walked deeper into the cave, where I was attacked by parasitic bipedal creatures before arriving at a glowing metal door. I thought:
This must have been the room that
I was hearing odd noises from.
I opened the door, and found myself in a lab that reminded of something from a science fiction movie. What intrigued me more, even terrified me was that I was in the credits in the manuscripts on the desk; special thanks went to me and my team for special innovation in stem cell research and military technology.
They had one test subject They tested on. he was provided as a prisoner of the war between north and south Sauna Creek:
Date: 3-12-3020
According to our observations of the specimen in question, we observed odd behaviors after we inserted the needle into his eyes. For a while Patient X seemed to be functioning fine as any prisoner of war should. Eventually we noticed that not only was he immune to glaucoma, he also appeared to experience paranoid delusions, and had a violent temper.
He also began to express how much he missed his squad. He talked to much, so we sewn his mouth shut. At night we could here loud rapping noises from inside the cell. We went to go see what was going on, the prisoner had apparently escaped. To this day we have no located himself.
For those that have seen them, we shall give a 5,000,000 dollar reward, however we would love it if you returned our dinner tray. To stun him, I have stored liquid mace in my shelf. If its locked so escaped prisoners could not use it on us. Use the added sum of 7 - 3, 1 + 5, 2 x 1, and 7 x 3 to open the lock.
Date: 3-15-3020
I'm here to make an note about odd things that go on here at night when other patients are asleep. At night, me and my lab mates heard an odd wrapping noise from inside the prison cell we once incarcerated Patient X. I sent my crew to go see what was going on, but when they came back, they told me it looked the same was as we first left it, and that know one was there.

Most of this story, is suppose to be like fragmented memories.
I tried puttng it in spoil;ers, cause I wasnt sure whether the post would be to big.
? You can have 42 characters, but NOT 42 plots or subplots. Try, one main plot and some subplots that will take the reader back to the main plot.
