Laughing Jack

Chapter 21

I woke up in the same place, still laying on the surgical table. My sides hurt, so I lifted my shirt up to see why. I saw two perfect cuts where my sides were. "What the... Why would someone cut my sides open, but not do anything?" I whispered to myself. "Maybe to shake things up a little, make things more interesting when we play a few games together, Rosalynn." A dark, ominous voice said, shaking the room. "Who are you and how do you know my name?!" I shouted. "Shhh. Let's not worry right now, alright? I only know your name because I can see inside of your head. I see all. I am the voices buzzing around in your head. I am the fear inside of your body. And most importantly, I am the dark thoughts that you have when you're talking to your so called friends." The voice boomed. "What? Tell me who you are! I demand you to!" I screamed, feeling tears form slowly in my eyes. "I am ZALGO." A very large, red and black man emerged from the wall beside me. It looked like he had several mouths on his torso, and he had horns on his head. "Ego sum deus agoni raman haos raman coruptia karmane..." I struggled to get up, looking down at my hands and ankles and seeing that they were being held down my shadow hands. "OH MY GOD! PLEASE HELP! SOMEONE HEEELP!" I screamed. The hands tightened. "EKEVOL ATTO TOV TIEXO!" I couldn't understand what he was saying, but it was hurting my head. A lot. "UnLoCk It... He CoMeS... He WaItS..." I looked at him and noticed that he was twitching. "BeHiND tHe WaLLS..." His head was tilting to the side. The shadow hands were cutting through the skin on my hands and ankles. "BRING IT BACK." He exploded. The shadow hands rose up, shaking and then puffing up into smoke and floating off into the air. I quickly got up and tried to run, but I fell down instead. I crawled my way to the hole that I had entered from, looking up and seeing that Zalgo was looking through the hole. "You will not escape, child. You will be my slave. You will serve Zalgo, and only Zalgo!" I saw his eyes turn black as he crawled down the hole and turned his head right at me, smiling. I covered my face and shuddered. "I will kill all of your friends. I will kill all of your friends." I clenched my teeth. "You will kill all of your friends. You will kill all of your friends." I started crying. "I will make you kill all of your friends." He touched my forehead and I couldn't move. "I will break you."
