Against The Corner (c1)

What is with people lately? They all go around and around just killing each other, or at least that's what i see. Everything's disgusting lately, anyone can do anything as they please, how many horrors they can get themselves to do, it's all awful. This place is in a chaos, all you can hear in a day ain't only birds and neighbors talking calmly, instead, you get to hear loud annoying gunshots.

Some people can be very scared, but you're very used to it, windows closed, curtains down and lights off, door locked and secured, you've got your security, just in case.

A single fireshot is enough for scaring any intruder breaking into your place.

Now is the start

Just a normal day, you're chilling watching your favorite show with subtitles (you've got the sound completely down), until someone knocks at the door.

You try guessing who it actually is, but you can't have a guess, the killer who went for you before won't come back.

You wonder if it's any family, but none of them are around in the area.

Anyways, you grab your gun and quietly get near the door, nobody went to fix the floor, its sound is so damn loud.

You were thinking „If i open the door slowly, i'll damn well get shot right when i show myself“.

So you just break the lock and go straight through the door, grabbing him by the neck and threatening him, in case he's planning anything "funny".

The same time, you look straight into his eyes. He seems scared, maybe you're being too rough with him, and he doesn't seem like having anything suspicious in his pockets, near or anything.

He begs you to drop him, he can't breathe much, and so you do, but you still have an eye on him.

C „Why were you knocking at my door? What do you want?“

- „I- I- I just wanted t- to know if J. Cegar lives here-..“

C „Yea, that's me, what are you looking for from me?“

- „Well.. I've heard you've spent all your life in this side, so i just wanted to do a little i- in- interview..“

C „Interview? WITH ME? WHY WOULD SOMEBODY EVEN WANT TO MAKE AN INTERVIEW WITH ME?“

- „Well, not much of an interview.. i'm actually just passing by, and i've heard your name a lot on my way, and so, i've decided to learn about your way of living“

C „Really? I'm your best subject for this?“

*The guy says yes with his head*

C „Haven't you got anyone else?“

*The guy says no with his head*

C „Ah, fuck.“

You grab him by his shirt and you pull him into your apartment, the guy starts looking at everything in some way that you can't tell if he's surprised, disgusted, scared, or all of them.

You ask him for his name, "Jacob", like in a movie! (You think quietly, you've only heard that name in movies.)

You simply don't know what to do or show to him. And you don't want to get him into danger, so maybe it's a little risky to go into the streets too soon.

You look back at him, sitting on your couch, looking at the TV waiting for you while you finish with your own thing.

C „Fuck it, we're going into the streets.“

You both go outside, and you notice how he's looking at all the arounds, everything's on fire, people mad, waiting for blowing a punch onto someone. Jacob's scared, but still walks along by your side.
