Void Switch

Chapter 7: Giving Up

The night is cold and dark. Jacob rocks himself in a chair looking out to the view of the city. He smokes and taps on the chair excessively. He exhales then pulls in the nicotine, coating his lungs. His phone rings. He answers, it's the boys. They all are wishing him a happy birthday. He hangs up the call and his lady friend holds him from behind. He gently holds her hands that are on his chest.

"I will see you at school baby." She says to him softly.

He jumps right onto her. She laughs, pretending to resist him.

"Not if I make you weak again." He seductively whispers in her ear.

He lightly kisses her neck. She chuckles and slowly exhales. Moaning through every gentle kiss and light biting, she pushes him off.

"Okay, okay, okay. Stop baby please. We can continue maybe at school."

He smacks his teeth and rolls his eyes.

"Fine!" he says grunting in disappointment.

She gets up from the bed to gather her clothes. She walks naked to the bathroom. Jacob is putting on light blue sweats with a brown shirt. The girl, in the bathroom, is freshening herself up again before heading back home. As she is putting on minor touches of mascara and lipstick, she hears a noise. She looks over to a window that is open. Confused, she walks over to close it. She finishes getting ready and leaves the bathroom. She walks back into his room. She drops her phone. The massive centipede like beast extends a tendril into the boys forehead. Blood dripping slowly, memories of his life flash by quickly. The beast moans in satisfaction claiming its prize. It looks at Jacobs limp body. From its face many praying mantis like claws unfold. It opens its mouth and feasts. The girl cannot move. Fear plants her still. Her mouth is dry. She cannot find the will to speak or scream. Her body trembles beneath as if wanting to give up any moment. The beast drops his body and turns around wearing his face. Its new mask adjusts to match Aarons facial structures. Its large size steams and condenses in size. It groans undergoing its evolution. The girl makes a run for it. Thoughts of it taking him flood her with emotions. She struggles to the door, stumbling over her own feet. Making it through the front door, she reaches in her purse.

"hit, my phone. I dropped my fucking phone." She sobs.

She continues to run to her car till she notices Jacob. He is already sitting on the trunk of her car. She tries to scream, but his hand covers her mouth instantly.

"Shhhh baby, I will make it quick. Besides, don't worry its not like he really loved you." it says.

He grabs her by the neck. His jaws unhinge like snake. From his throat a tendril with a spike on the end. It jams the spike into her heart. She looks at it and tears slowly fall

"Oh Jacob, is this true." she whispers her last words.

It detaches from the spike and leaves her to collapse on her side. The spike sucks all life out of the poor girl turning green and growing four mini legs. It detaches from the hollow girl and scurries away. A flash of light alarms the boy. His face misconfigures snarling. A middle aged man in the distance struggles to change the flashlight setting off.

"Fuck, of course you would flash in a moment like this." The man says in a shaky voice.

He tries to make a run for it but it punctures him through the chest from behind.

"Oh you think you can spoil my fun so early. I am just getting started."
