February Apocalypse: Valentine's is Dead

ACT 2: a broken glass bottle

Someone's POV

FEBRUARY,03,2018

central city high. A hunting ground for different kinds of predators, where powerful stands mighty over those who were weak, i sat on my rotating office chair inside my laboratory, holding a glass of whisky and staring at a broken glass bottle. central city high, where i came from, a monster created by hypocrites. the image of their fake smiles, hypo-critic approach, i was once considered lambs over wolves. now shall the payback of those who made me miserable, now shall they see a lamb where wolves trembles in my presence.

the wounds of the past leaves a fresh scar. i can still feel the past.

february 14 1998  

'' BLAgGh!''  my body was thrown hard at the locker inside the stock room, ''ouch, did that hurt, you useless ungrateful nerd!'' jay cruz throws me at the locker after exam. '' if only you listened to what i said nerd, you should be at least not in pain right now! huh, but your persistence sucks as your face does.'' jay cruz is the son of the school owner , a bully, but expulsion is null because of power his father possesses. '' do you think teachers can help you now nerd? you bet, theyre afraid to help you, because they'll be sorry if they do.'' then a punch landed on my jaw. i dropped into the floor of the room after that punch, i felt that.

 jay cruz is mad because i did not let him have my paper, until the proctor caught us and branded us cheating, a major offense to school rule. now we are inside a stock room, dusty and dark, smells like rotting wood, and locked.  he keeps on blabbering about my scholarship, that debt of gratitude should be shown through act of slavery, he keeps on blabbering that i should repay the scholarship granted to me by his blind father, blind of all his evil son is doing, i dont know, i dont know why he keeps on doing this while he could just make his report card look good because of the authority his father has. 

''and queen, huh, you think someone like queen belongs to a nerd like you, she never loved you nerd, because youre poor, you dont have parents, and lastly youre  a nerd, sucks; that's why she picked me. rather than you!''

another punch landed into my face, i felt that even more, i clenched my fist. i had enough, im sick and  tired of this crap. he  even mentions  my girlfriend's name . he is about to kick me when i held his foot, harshly, ''so you have the guts now of opposing me, tsk. wrong move.'' he said while smiling as if his entertained so much of beating the hell out of me. '' wrong move.'' as he was going to punch me again but this time i managed to block his fist. '' i may be a nerd, but im no whimp'' then i tried locking his arms behind his back , like how action stars fight. ''you unleashed a monster you can never vanquish.'' i whispered in his ears '' your time runs out mr. cruz'' then i  broke the heck out of his arms that the bone was slighlty exposed and blood flows richly, '' ahhhhhh!!, help!!''  he screams and whines out of pain.

 i picked up a wine bottle i found at the stock room..... the shatter was so loud when i broke the bottle, '' you see these broken glass bottle jay cruz, this is me, a broken piece of soul haunted by the horrors of my pass and present you showed me. now, where shall i stab you first?'' i got insane, mad, i only see his face through a slight dark opening of my eyes covered in red blood. 

''maybe your eyes, to make you blind like your father, or perhaps, your tongue, ill gouge out your tongue, like what you and your father is doing to the teachers, taking their freedom of expression, or perhaps even more interesting is your heart,'' my eyes looks at jay cruz with an intent to kill. ''HAHA, i almost forgot, you dont have any heart at all, but perhaps it might manage to at least take yours and queen's tainted heart!''  

i was about to stab jay cruz with the broken bottle when suddenly the doors opened ''blaaagghh'' the door slams open, i looked at the door, ''stanly, stop!'' queen stopped me,  '' what is the meaning of this!!... no my son..  what have you done to him, you bastard!!.'' mr. hernan shouted, ''he's going to kill me dad, hes going to kill me!'' that bastard jay cruz cleans his mess, and blames everything to me. ''you ungrateful bastard, is this what youll pay for the kindness i showed you!?'' i regained my consciousness as if a monster overtook my body, '' no mr. hernan sir, i... i i didnt, i i no no sir please listen to me..'' i looked at queen, she is crying bitterly, not for me. but for what happened to jay.  ''NO. sir hernan it is clear that your son has no fault for this, he almost got killed. it's his fault stanly's fault, please do something to him, give justice to your son sir!'' what?!! not even you queen! '' Ms. perez call an ambulance and the police, i want this imprudent ungrateful bastard to rot in jail, and be quick, my son is in trouble,'' ms. perez calls the police and paramedics.

*End of flashback

The incident cost me everything, I lost my scholarship, my life, even the girl I thought would help me attain my dream. All lost because of one stupid man, jay Cruz.
And now a chance of retaliation, vendetta.
I grasped the most bitter weapon of all, I'll destroy what they built. And with ashes of their corpses shall I,Dr.stanly markus eisenburg build a pedestal of my glory.
"Sir?.. Sir excuse me? " Leah waves at my face as if I am blind. " what is it Leah?" I asked plainly . "project l-143 is ready for shipment. Shall we launch the project sir?
"No. Not yet. We should wait. I want to take back everything I had during the day I lost all of what I have."  I gently touched Leah's chin and look into her eyes. "Uhm.. Sir?" She was shocked that I can see her blushing young face. "And we shall rename the project. We shall call it, project V"

Then I let go of Leah's chin and turned my back again. Playing with my glass of whisky.
