Start part A

*Panting*

Zack holds his heart in his hand.

Zack: This is so strange... I've never felt such a sensation...

FWOOSH!!!

SLICE!!!

CRASH!!!

Zack cuts the apartment complex in half due to his nerves hardening.

Zack: Awesome...

FWOOSH!!!

Zack jumps out of the room and jumps building to building.

CRASH!!!

Zack runs out of energy and falls into a riverine.

Zack: Shit... I'm so glad I'm numb...

AHHHHHH!!!

Zack looks back at the source of the scream. He sees a girl.

???: W-w-wait, dont hurt me!!!

Zack: I wasn't planning on it...

???: Huh...? But you're a... Thing!

Zack: Thanks. I try my best... Anyway, who are you and why are you in a riverine?

???: Do you think I want to be here?!

Zack: Geez, sorry for asking!

???: No, no... I know it's not normal...

Zack: You're right.

...

???: Alright, I'll say... Truth is... I fell down here!!!

Zack: Hey, don't make stuff up.

???: I'm not!

Zack: If you did fall, you would have died!

???: Yeah... I guess... But I didn't!

Zack: Good for you... So, how do we get out?

???: You're not even gonna ask if I got hurt?

Zack: Nope. Because you seem fine. That's all I care about.

Start part B

...

A few minutes later...

...

???: Gah! You're so quiet!

Zack: I don't have anything to say!

???: Find something!

Zack: Like what!?

???: Maybe... How you turned into whatever you are!

...

Zack: I don't need to tell you a thing... Let's just get out of here...

???: How do we do that?

Zack: I could probably climb back up if I had energy...

GRUMBLE!!!

Zack’s stomach grumbles.

???: Are you hungry...?

Zack stares at the girl.

???: What...? Is something the matter?

Zack: Hey...

*Walking*

Zack walks towards the girl.

Zack: Just... *Heavy breathing* One minute...

FWOOSH!!!

SNAP!!!

AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

Zack pounces onto the girl and bites down onto her arm, causing the bone to shatter.

???: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!?! LET ME GO!!!

RIP!!!

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Zack tears the girl's arm off and chews on the nerves.

FWOOSH!!!

Zack holds the girl on his back and climbs up the riverine.

Zack: "This tastes horrible!!!"

He thought

???: OW OW OW OW OW OW SOMEONE KILL ME!!! KILL ME RIGHT NOW!!!

FWOOSH!!!

Zack and the girl make it out of the riverine.

THUD!!!

Zack drops the girl onto the street.

*Heavy breathing*

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Zack: Sorry about that...

???: KILL YOURSELF!!!

Zack: Want it back?
