At World's End

Chapter Four

The first thing I noticed was a creaking in the house. I was on the first floor and it sounded like footsteps upstairs. Something fell. Something was dragged across the floor.

What if this was another person? But, what if they're trying to take out all the other people on Earth? Was I just one of their targets?

I slowly walked up the stairs, careful not to make any sounds. The body was moved. It was pushed off to the side, probably to make way for the person upstairs.

The person seemed to be in the room to my left. The one I woke up in. They were looking around. Were they looking for me? How would they know I was here?

Then, it hit me.

Literally. Two men sprang out of the room and tackled me to the ground. They wrestled to get my arms into these things that looked a lot like handcuffs. It only took them a few seconds, as I only had one working arms and the other hurt at the smallest touch.

After that, they put a rough black sack over my head. I'm pretty sure one of them threw me over their shoulder because I felt a pointy and painful pressure on my lower stomach. A noxious smell filled the air. Or maybe just inside the sack? I'm not sure as my only information comes from inside the sack and not outside it. But I'm positive it was poison. My head began to get light and dizzy. Every moment seemed to echo around me, jerking me in twenty different directions.

Andthen, for the third time that day, I passed into unconsciousness.
