24-carat Atrocities

Chapter 2 The Smell: Why is it so Bad?

When we got to the transport I stopped. Sergi barked, "What's wrong?!"

I just said, "Why's it made of plastic?"

He snarled, "Because some of them can control metal come on". I did, and when I got in the smell hit me and it was horrific. It was like a smelly dog dumped in sewage water.

I asked, "Why does it smell so bad?''

He snapped, "I would be quiet if I were you."

Before I could stop myself I started, "Well, I'm not you so I'm not going to listen to you," then he took something out from under his seat and shot me with it. I tried to say something and I couldn't. I tried ASL but he just looked at me, smirked, and said, "I don't know sign language." I flashed a sign that you don't need to know ASL to understand. He had a clear expression, pure anger. He walked over, punched me in the face, it all went black.

I do not know when, but when I did wake up, somehow, the smell got worse. It was a smelly wet dog dumped in sewage water then left in a trash dump. I looked back and saw that Sergi had his helmet off. He was bald, so naturally, I yelled, "Hey, baldy why does it smell so bad?" His mad face somehow got madder. He walked over to me and kicked me in the nose. It went black once again.

I was starting to get annoyed for some reason, I can't figure out why. When I woke up again the smell was reduced to the smell of smoke. I looked out the window and there were ruins of a city, but something was wrong with it. It was completely covered with a layer of ash. Every flat surface had a layer of ash. There was a rumor about this place. I can't seem to remember the name of it. Then Sergi saw that I woke up. There was a moment of panic on his face when he walked over to me and kicked me once again before I passed out. I remembered the name, Mount Flamouria, or the City of Ash.
