Razorback

Voices

9/14/17

Jessica found herself in some kind of in some basement or someplace underneath the building. She looked up the hole she fell through was way too high for her to jump and climb out of. She looked around the room and saw a light switch and turned it on. It only turned on one light bulb in the center of the room. She could see that the whole room was filled with boxes and lots of other old junk that was probably leftover from the war. She walked around the room, it was small and there didn't seem to be another way out. As she moved things around hoping to find a door or a way out she saw something unexpected. It was the vape that had belonged to Joel, her friend who was kidnapped by The Razorback. She carefully picked it up, it was covered with dust, so it had been left down there for a while. He was most likely kept down there while The Razorback had him held captive. She put the vape in her pocket, then walked to the other side of the room and tried to jump as high as she could but she still could not reach the opening of the hole. "Agh! why'd this have to happen to me!?" Jessica yelled loud. Then out of nowhere, a plastic egg fell from above. The egg had a smiley face painted on it, inside was a piece of paper with the word "Want" it. "What the..." her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps above. 

She looked up and saw, Them, the one, The Razorback staring down at her. "So, you've found his vape, that is good," They said bending down clasping their hands together. Their voice was pitched so low you couldn't figure out who it belonged to, and the eyes were unseeable as well. "What the hell is this?!" Jessica demanded, her eyes full of hate and vengeance. "I trapped you here to tell you something, if you continue to search and investigate on my work, I'll keep causing you more and more pain until you got nothing left to live for," They said. "Why?.. why are you doing this?" Jessica said her voice trembling with a mix of anger and confusion. "Because Detective Frill I am trying to make our city great again, Univeil was a grand and highly respected place until the war came and Waynik took over and turned it into the depressing wasteland we know today, these people they are electing are only making it worse, and you are the only one stopping me from doing what must be done," They said standing up and pacing around the hole. "Then, why don't you just kill me now?" Jessica said she was thinking of ways she could possibly get Them to come down so she could attack Them. "Because I want you to feel my pain, you caused me much pain a few years ago when I first started my work, and now I'm returning the favor," The Razorback said with a maniacal chuckle as they started to walk away. "Good luck finding the way out!" They shouted as they left the building. 

Jessica yelled in frustration and anger, she pounded her fists on the ground shouting: "Curse you Razorback!!".  Then she heard soft music playing. It was coming from somewhere down there. She could faintly hear the voice of a woman singing the lines: "Abuse the power, of the hour, and control the paradox of the lost" over and over again with the sound of the violin and piano playing. It was so low, it's a surprise she was able to hear it with all her shouting. "She looked around but couldn't see where it was coming from. She kept listening and heard it kept playing. It lasted for another 5 minutes, then it was silent. And the silence was destroyed by the sound of a woman's scream and the sound of a gunshot. Jessica was in shock. She could not make of what had happened, there was no way for her to find where it was coming from, and on top of that, someone had gotten shot. Jessica had enough of this. She started stacking boxes to use a way to get out. It took many attempts because the boxes kept falling over. But she finally made it out. 

She grabbed the ledge and climbed her way out of the hole back to the main level of the building.  She looked around, there was no sign of The Razorback. But she heard a sound coming from behind a door. It sounded like a man crying. She slowly opened the door and looked in, it was empty. She then heard a sound coming from another room. She walked over to the door and put heard ear up to it. She heard the sound of children laughing, she opened it and again nothing was there. "This is stupid, my mind is just playing tricks," she said as she headed towards the front door to leave. But before she opened the door she heard something else, like a creaking sound coming from above. and before she could look up something fell from the ceiling and landed down in the hole of the floor. She looked down and saw it was her friend Gonner. She used the boxes to climb down and ran to Gonner. He was bloody, his body was covered in cuts and wounds, and he wasn't breathing. She held his corpse, she began to sob. Then she felt something in his pocket. She reached in and pulled out a plastic easter egg. She opened it and found a piece of paper that had "You" on it. Jessica yelled in anguish, her eyes filled with tears of sorrow, and hate. Then she heard a woman's voice from above. "Count your blessings, you don't have many left," the voice said. The sun had gone down completely leaving Jessica alone with Gonner's cold dead body.
