Left for Dead Chapter 14

 

 

GALLAGHER’S POV

 

 

I walked over to the other students, and pulled out the duct tape again. I walked over to Danny’s desk, and put the tape on his eyelids, shutting them until I felt like he should see again.

 

I did the same to Celeste, and Johanna, and the other two, whom I didn’t know. I left only Terrance without closed eyes.

 

I paced over to Mr. Beaumont’s storage closet, and found some rope for projects.

 

I’m glad being in boy scouts taught me how to tie a noose.

Today was our second to last meeting before I became an Eagle Scout. I was on my way to gain glory within my friends because of my status.

 

I couldn’t sleep the night before, so my mom gave me a sleeping pill that I didn’t take. I put it under my tongue, and pretend swallowed, so my mom left, thinking I would sleep.

 

I took the pill out of my mouth, then slipped it into my pocket.

 

Mr. Edwards, our troop leader, was teaching us how to tie knots. I was pretty skilled, because I always went fishing in the small lake a few blocks away from my house. I taught myself how to tie a lot of these fishing knots.

 

Mr. Edwards was a prick, so I decided to put the sleeping pill in his water bottle as a prank.

 

“Hey, Gallagher. Can I talk to you in private?” he asked me.

 

“Sure.” I said, apathetic.

 

‘Hello, my name is Z, and I will be here to assist you.” A voice said in my head.

 

“What’s going on..?” I muttered.

 

We walked into a closet, and Mr. Edwards turned to me. I looked all around, realizing we were in the craft closet.

 

“Now Gallagher, I heard you talking with some of the other boys talking about how easy all these knots were. So I decided to take you here to teach you one of the most difficult knots in history. We’ll first try this by oral direction, and then I’ll show you how to do tie it.” He said to me.

 

“Let’s start. Twist the left side under, and then pull it through. Next, you….” the pills kicked in, and that was the last thing he said before falling to the floor, asleep.
