Evening Dreams

Confession Part 1

"Well Galactus is a... fine I won't lie. He is s being who now makes me go through nightmares everyday for one hour in return he lets humanity live." confessed Roy. "Well, we will always be by your side through everything right guys?" said Ms. Damples. "Yeah!" yelled the townsfolk. "Thanks mom." "No problem, kiddo." said Ms. Damples, messing up Roy's hair with her hand. The town began helping Roy think of ways on how to get 200 dollars in 24 hours. The first plan they had was to steal. Of course that was Roy's plan. They thought of robbing JC Bank, the local bank of Jackson City. The second plan was to look for lost money in the streets which would take forever. The third and final plan was to scam the streets of Jackson City. Scamming would be the closest thing to being legal, so they did just that. They chose Jesus the butcher to scam because he used to be a magician/scam artist back in the day. Jesus grabbed his walking stick and climbed down the hill to the city. He chose Roy to be his assistant because Roy "volunteered" to help.

"Why do I have to wear this white sheet with holes again?" asked Roy, lifting his hands to lift the sheet. "You're going to be a 'ghost'" answered Jesus, kicking pebbles along the way. They finally made it to the city where they found a billboard on the ground. They climbed over it and made there way to a spot next to a restaurant with sign spelling Mario's Pizza. They began performing magic tricks like disappearing cards, floating, and "ghosts" coming out of closets. They were quite childish is what Roy thought. In an hour they made. A dollar and a button. "199 dollars to go!" joked Jesus, no one laughed though. Roy thought of ways to earn more and he began scamming with higher stakes. For example, he would say "If this coin lands on heads you give me 10 dollars." But the thing was the coin was heads on both sides.

While he did that Jesus pick pocketed the unaware victims. In one hour they made 100 dollars. "Ha! Nice going bud! We made 100 dollars in cash!" celebrated Jesus, cheering. "One more hour." said Roy. "One more hour." mimicked Jesus. The manager of Mario's Pizza was angry and called the cops on them for scamming. The two ran from the restaurant and into a familiar alleyway. It was where Carson and Roy were robbed. The team of thugs and cops surrounded the two and they were put into jail.

"Dang it!" yelled Roy. The two began pacing around the cell, accepting defeat. Roy was later taken to a juvenile detention in Lakewood. They were now trapped behind bars. Roy went to hard bed missing his home, his friend, and Jesus. He could barely sleep, but after a few hours of crying he fell asleep. He is in prison, his best friend's dead, and his partner in crime and him are separated. How could it get any worse?
