Unknotting Fate

CHAPTER 7: Erection's Aftermath

Ko could feel every eyeball staring at him. His mind was racing.

He thought, "Okay, calm down. Let's think about our options: 

A.) I explain that the Ghoul has the power to make you aroused.

B.) I just ran away.

C. I kill all of these people.

Letter A seems the best option, but would they believe me?" 

 "Ahaaaaa haaaaa!" Ko screamed, pretending to be in pain. He fell to the ground on all fours, wholly committed to his acting.

"That damned monster injected something in me with her needles. It's making my body....aroused, but—aaaaaaaa. It's also so painful."

There was no pain but intense pleasure. Ko had to focus hard not to moan. One crowd member stopped filming and said, "Hey, we must help him. We only survived because of him."

The crowd echoed in agreement. The same person asked Ko, "Young Slayer, what can we do?"

So, they believe me, eh? But I think I need to increase the antics.

Ko began to cry. Tears poured from his eyes. He told them, "There is nothing you guys can do. This is what we train for. My body knows pain so well. This too shall pass."

Everyone was getting teary-eyed, moved by Ko's sacrifice. But one old man shouted, "Can't you just rub it away?"

Some reconsider the validity of that solution, while others looked excited to film him embarrassing himself further.

I should have gone with C!

Hitting two birds with one rock, he used his telekinesis to make 1795 maimed body look like she came back to life. He made her barely intact body chase the people in circles. When the crowd split in opposite directions, 1795's remaining body parts split apart and hunted people respectively.

They were all screaming and crying. The needles on the floor flew on their own and smashed all the cell phones filming him.

Ko subtly waved his arms, and 1795's half-head and internal organs exploded into smaller pieces.

Ko did his final bit, crying, holding his chest, and looking entirely on the verge of dying.

The crowd was becoming frightened of the whole thing, not knowing how to help him and themselves.

And then Ko stood up.

A kid from the crowd said, "I can't find the wiggly thing anymore, Mommy; where did it go?"

Her mom shushed her. Ko faced the group, wiping the sweat and tears from his face with his forearm. A young woman approached Ko and thanked him for saving their lives.

Ko responded, "Yeah, thank the Gods that I was near the vicinity, or else all of you would have ended like that." Ko pointed to a dead woman lying on the cement. Her body filled with holes, blood crowning her lifeless body. Everyone's face turned solemnly green.

"I must go; medics will arrive shortly, so stay here. I have to go and save more lives." Ko leaped from roof to roof, leaving the crowd applauding. They all looked like they bought the whole thing. They did not seem to find it weird that 1759 came back to life even when half of her face was like spaghetti, and her needles only destroyed the phones filming him.

"Fuck, I can't believe that worked."
