A/N Hey! Day 2! 23 days 'till Christmas! (BTW I don't actually know this job)
Joe wasn't that normal 43-year-old who had an alright job. He looked after alleyways. Eh, you might think it's an easy way to get money but seriously, it's not. He had to walk down them and see if they were ok, if not he had to fix it. All in 15 minutes.
Alta Lane's Alleyway always had a homeless person there, which could get slightly annoying at times. But today was REALLY annoying. He was 15 minutes late. He stayed way too long at Grand Alleyway cleaning up McDonald's packaging. Driving his way to Trop Alleyway, he swore to himself, god, he was supposed to be back to return the equipment and van!
Muttering at the stupid alleyways, he got out his equipment and strolled into the alleyway. He goes to them once a week. The mist floated around and hovered around him. He shivered as he inspected the deserted place. This was too much, his phone beeped and vibrated as messages flooded in saying somethings like, "COME ON! YOU'RE LATE!" or "GIMME MY EQUIPMENT! WE NEED IT!"
That was obviously the last straw for Joe, he turned back around and stormed down the alleyway. However, through the mist, he saw a face. Just through the crack in the fence. He rubbed his eyes, expecting a hallucination but it just focused even clearer.
Frozen in shock, his phone buzzing with messages recovered him from the shock and terror. A slim, sleek body climbed through the hole and his wits saved him as he fled towards the van.
Thin, white, glowing arms reached towards him...
Black, hole of eyes gleamed at him as the alien like creature stood majestically proud, staring at it's prey.
Grab.
Buzz.
Reach.
Buzz.
Grab.
Buzz.
Miss.
Buzz.
The arm narrowly missed getting trapped inside the door. Joe, without looking at the roads, sped out into the road....
Buzz.
SMASH!
Buzz.
Joe was slammed against the windscreen, blood leaking from his scalp.
Buzz.
The woman laid slumped over the wheel, her arms bend in places which was definitely not normal.
Buzz.
WHERE ARE YOU WITH MY EQUIPMENT!
Buzz.
DO I HAVE TO REMIND YOU ONE MORE TIME?!
Buzz.
HURRY! UP! I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE BUT I HOPE YOU HAVE THE EQUIPMENT!
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CHARACTERS DONT READ THIS PART IN BOLD
Joe died of a broken skull.
The woman who'd smashed into him died of broken arms and loss of blood.
The manager was angry his equipment got lost.
The alien feasted on the bodies of the two dying people.
Their bodies were never found, only two cars smashed into each other. It is classed as one of the 'world's weirdest mysteries'.
