Dead Man Walking

Chapter 1

The boy stood on the side of the road and pondered to himself. He couldn't of been no more than seventeen. He walked to the back alley way where he got his fix as usual. The man with a baggy in his coat stood before him as the boy extended his arm out with a stack of cash. He could smell the sweet scent he always smelled when he got his fix but the scent was sweeter than any other times. The boy grab the bag and slid it into his pocket. The boy smiled and left the alley way and ran to his house. when he was making his way home he noticed someone in the woods by his house. The "Person" looked inhuman, its height was unspeakable it was about 7 foot 6, its legs were broken in several spots. The figure was pointing at the boy with long slender fingers. The boy didn't think twice before sprinting at full speed home and locking every door in the house.Silence grew over the him as he made his way upstairs to his bedroom. When he got to his room he went straight to his nightstand. He pulled out the bag and sat it on the nightstand he then opened the draw and pulled out a syringe, a spoon, a belt, and a lighter. He burned the drug and then put it into the syringe. He then tied the belt around his arm and looked for a good vein to inject the drug into himself. The sensation of the drug flowed through him as he fell into his bed and fell asleep. As the boy was asleep he saw himself in a dark chamber he then saw the figure he saw in the woods about an hour ago. The figure walked up to him and grabbed him by the throat and threw him at a wall with unrelenting rage. The boy flew like a ragdoll as he hit the wall with a force that could've killed him he then struggled to get back up, but the monster kicked him right in the ribs with force that made the boy gasped with pain. He again struggled to get up to his feet. The monster grabbed him by his throat again and smashed his face to the floor. Blood flowed from his nose and mouth he cried for help but he couldn't get the words it was only painful groans. The monster laughed as he watched the boy bleed out.The boy jolted up from his bed with a scream of rage and tears. He looked over at his night stand again and grabbed the dirty syringe again and injected himself again to relieve the pain. He could feel his heart racing and his hand twitching as the drug took its effects and its toll. The boy felt his pulse stop, he went numb and collapsed.
