mike and zach but mandela catalogue

TW SUICIDE

"If you see another person that looks identical to you, run away and hide."

Those specific words caused some kind of chill to run down the two men's spines. Everything else was chilling and terrifying enough but that specific sentence stuck to them. Once the alert ended mike could've sworn all he heard was static. "Mike?" Zach's voice broke his thoughts. Mike looked back at zach with visible fear. Zach pulled mike into a hug, comfortably rubbing his back. "It'll be okay mike.." mike trembled in his warmth, however was somehow comforted from his quiet whispering.

They stayed like that for god knows how long. Arms wrapped around eachother with mike burying his face into zachs neck. That was untill zachs phone rang. He looked down at it noticing robin was calling him. He picked up and put the phone to his ear and heard a small "zach?" from the other line.

"Robin? You saw the alert right?"

"Yeah. I wanna go home so bad but I'm stuck in this building since i was working overnight."

Zach looked back at mike, a bit worried. "He never works overnight." He looked back at the phone and spoke up.

"If you want we can come over with some weapons or to bring you here."

"Well one of you would have to protect the house right?"

Zach scratched his head. "i mean.. i guess? But which one of us would stay? I think i should stay and have mike pick you up"

"i want YOU to come over. He can stay at home, comfortable."

Zach flinched from the sudden agression in his voice. "alright. Fine. I'll see you then." Zach hung up and stood up, putting his flannel on. "im gonna go pick up robin. You stay here." He looked at mike, him nodding.

Zach parked the car and looked at the building, walking out of the car and inside. With robin inside he expected all the lights to be on, but they were all off, even the ones in his office. He shivered and turned his phone on, turning the flashlight on and pointing it ahead only to find something that made him jump back horrified. A splatter of blood.

He shivered and thought nothing of it, thinking it was just something that exploded, maybe robin's lunch? He couldn't find anyone, so he called out. "Hello? Robin?" Well that caught something's attention. Something fell behind him and shattered, causing him to flinch and point the flashlight at whatever shattered. A lightbulb. Zach bent over and grabbed the biggest shard he could incase something came out.

Something dripped on his head, once again behind him. He looked back and saw robin. "Robin where the fuck were you?!" Zach yelled, but he didn't answer. Just stood there and smiled. He shivered. Then robin's smile became a bit too wide before the phrase "grinning ear to ear" became litteral. His face turned a void black, before his limbs suddenly stretched out. He towered over zach, his mouth wide open with a void staring back at him.

What was the first thing zach did? He kicked 'robin' and ran into the nearest room, slamming the door and locking it. He leaned against the door as it went silent. Once he pointed the flashlight around the room, he realized he was in robin's office. Then he got pushed forward from hard banging, almost seeming like the door was gonna bust open.

"Let me in za-a-ach~" robin's voice sounded like a broken record, only repeating "let me in", "zach" and "i have a surprise" with a glitchy, demonic voice. The voice mixed with the banging on the door overwhelmed zach, untill he looked back at robin's desk and realized. He ran over and looked through the drawers before finding a gun with a box of bullets next to it.

He loaded the gun and pointed it towards the door, growling. "COME IN YOU FUCKING BITCH! YOU'LL REGRET IT YOU FUCKING WHORE" zach screamed at the voice started laughing like a maniac. Thats when his vision started flashing. Random lights and faces he's never seen before flooded his mind, those faces starting to become distorted in many unthinkable ways. Void faces, no faces at all, stretched mouth, stretched head, or all of the above.

Zach started getting overwhelmed to the point where he started tearing up, then went to sobbing. His arms shook, almost dropping the gun as his grip loosened. The laughing, faces, darkness, voices, flashing, it all overwhelmed him. This was never going to end. This was gonna last forever. He stared at the gun, pointing it away from the door.

This was never gonna end.

His arms shook as he slowly started to smile.

This was gonna go on forever.

He stared at the barrel of the gun.

You're just gonna stand there forever.

He pointed the gun towards his face.

This is never gonna end-

He shoved the barrel in his mouth.

-unless you make it.

He pulled the trigger.

Mike sat there with a blanket wrapped around him, starting to get worried as the clock struck 3am. He looked down at his phone and dialed zachs number. He picked up. "Zach? Where have you been?! Its been HOURS since you left!"

"Hey mike. I need some help getting robin out. Could you come over?"
