They Took His Fries, He Took Their Lives

Cautiously he took light, quiet steps down the dark corridor. He had to be careful, for he was carrying the Fries. The Fries that could easily end life as everybody knew it. Why they had been created, he had no idea. He just knew he had to take them someplace safe.

He had a close call last week. A few days after he had be given the Fries and specific directions, he was found by Trouble and Mischief. They were evil, and they knew about the Fries and what they could do.

Boy had been sneaking through the alley when he heard a CRASH behind him. When he turned around he heard a CRASH from where he was previously facing.

Cornered.

That's what he was.

And he knew why.

The Fries. He was being hunted like Game in any month ending in BER. They knew when and where to find him. And they knew what they could do with their prey when it was taken down.

But he refused to let them have it. Nobody can take the Fries.

Boy pulled his gun out of its holster. He knew what he would have to do if someone took the Fries.

"Just give us the Fries," A figure emerged from the shadows. Boy pointed the gun in his direction.

A hand hit the gun down, "Don't be stupid, Boy." A woman's voice hissed in his ear.

Before Boy could react, the box containing the Fries had been ripped from his tight grip. The sound of running footsteps were beginning to fade away as the thieves ran away.

Boy snatched his gun off the ground and sprinted after them. Before he knew it, he was following the two down a lit street. They weren't very far. He could get a clean shot and kill them.

He raised his gun as he gained on the two.

BANG

The woman fell. As Boy ran past her he noticed the hole on her face, from the shot.

Boy wished he could tell a threat at the man, but he knew he couldn't. Vocality wasn't something Boy had ever been blessed with.

So he trusted in his shot again.

BANG

The man didn't fall but he did begin to limp from the shot that hit his leg. One more shot would do it.

BANG

The man fell and the box fell a bit away from him.

Boy picked up the box and swaggered away.

He thought to himself, 'Don't take my fries. Or I'll take your lives.'
