The Elements: Reality

Chapter 2

                              “Jake This Is Just…. Just… CRAZY!”. I Was So Afraid. We Got Another Call And I Had Jake Answer The Phone. I Didn’t Here What He Said But I Heard Him Say, “Ok”, A Few Times. He Got Off The Phone And He Looked Up At Me. I Didn’t Know What Kind Off Look It Was, I Just Knew It Wasn’t A Very Good One. Jake Said, “You Know That Map You Found In The Suitcase?, Well Yeah, We Need To Go To It”. I Said, “Ok, What Did He Say? Why Do We Need To Go There?”. “He Said, “Shhhh. He’s Up In The Tree, Or At Least Someone Is”. I Said, Ok Let’s Get In The Car And Get The Fuck Of Here”.

                                  I Ran To The Car. Jake Kind Of Slow Walked And Glanced At The Tree. It Looked Like He Winked But I Think It Was The Glare Of The Sun. I Got In The Car And Jake Got In The Passenger Side. I Said, “Let’s Go To The Gas Station. I Need To Get Gas”. We Started To Drive Off When I Saw Jake Hide His Arm. I Asked, “What’s Wrong?”. He Said, “Well My Family’s In Debt And I Think What’s Ever Going On Is The Reason”. I Was Thinking And That Might Be The Answer.

                                    We Got To The Gas Station And I Jumped Out Of The Car. I Ran All The Way To The Door From The Car To Pay. The Guy At The Register Looked Like A Junkie. I Asked Him, “Put $20 On 2” And He Said, ‘What Bra?”. I Ran To The Bathroom Because I Had To Go; I Just Though After I Was Done I Would Pay For Gas. While In The Bathroom I Heard The Front Door Open. I Wasn’t Sure Who It Was But I Thought It Might Be Jake, But I Had Doubt Too. When I Was Done I Washed My Hands. After That I Ran Out Of The Bathroom To The Counter. I Didn’t See Anyone Behind The Counter, So I Knew Something Bad Was Wrong. I Looked Over The Counter And Saw The Junkie Behind The Counter.

                                   I Checked To See How He Was. He Was Dead. “Oh, God” I Said. I Backed Up And Bumped Into Something. Before I Could Turn Around Something Hit Me In The Back Of The Head. I Feel To The Floor And Was Knocked Out. When I Woke Up, I Was Cold. I Started To Look Around. I Wasn’t With Jake. I Was In A Basement Of Some Sort. I Was Thinking Of Ways To Get Out, When I Heard People Walking Down The Steps. I Lied Back Down And Pretended Like I Was Sleeping. I Started To Listen To Their Conversation. This Wasn’t By Chance, These People Were Playing A Game.

                                They Were Talking About The Sickest Things. Who The Hell Talks About Buying People’s Eyes, Setting Traps, And Proving Themselves? No One. I Had To Think Of A Plan Fast. If I Didn’t Want That To Happen To Me I Had To. I Went For It And Rolled Off The Couch.

                                 I Wasn’t Sure How They Looked. I Was Too Busy Thinking, “What If They Caught Me? What Would Happen?”. The One Guy Placed His Hand On My Chest And I Held My Breath. I Think It Was To See If I Was Breathing Heavily Or Not. The Other Placed His Finger By My Mouth And I Made My Move. I Opened My Eyes, Bit The One Guys Finger, Elbowed The Guy That Placed His Hand On My Chest In The Face And Stood Up. I Looked At The Guy I Bit And Ran To Him And Sucker Punched Him In The Face. He Got Knocked Out And I Looked Behind Me. The Other Guy Was Knocked Out And My Hand Throbbed. I Think I Broke It But I Wasn’t Sure.

                                    I Looked Around. I Needed To Find The Stairs Fast If I Was Going To Live And Get Out Of Here Alive. I Looked And Looked But Didn’t Find Anything. I Wondered Why I Didn’t See The Stairs Like I Did Before. It Was Two Hours Later And Darker. I Looked And Looked Until I Twisted This Knob. It Was A Door. I Didn’t Even Feel Myself Walk Up Any Sort Of Stair. What I Realized Though Is That I Wasn’t Paying Attention To Anything. When I Opened The Door I Didn’t See Anything. The Only Thing Was A Wall. I Closed The Door Behind Me. I Looked Down And Saw A Table Type Of Thing. I Moved That In Front Of The Door To Hold Them In Downstairs When They Woke. I Looked Down The Hall. Nothing I Looked The Other Way. “Well, Well, Well”, Some Guy In A Mask Said. I Said, “WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU!”. I Was So Mad At This Point, I Couldn’t Explain It. “WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME AND JAKE!”, I Said. He Said, “Haha You Just Don’t Get It Do You?”. I Had This Look On My Face Like, “Dude STFU. I’m Going To Kill You Anyway”. He Said, “GARDS”. This Is The Point Where I Rushed At His Face But Didn’t Hit Anything. His Guards Took Me To Fast. I Put Up A Fight So One Of His Guards Hit Me And From That Point On, I Wasn’t Paying Much Attention. I Woke Up Next To Jake. I Said, “Jake”, But He Was Still Knocked Out Or Sleeping. I Stood Up. We Were Somewhere In The World But I Didn’t Know Where. I Started To Walk And I Tripped On Someone. I Looked Down And Saw 5 Other People. The Game Couldn’t Have Gotten Any Worse. This Was Crazy. The Game Takes Place On A Plane?
