Dumb Wires and Dumber Friends

Table of Content

So, I live in a neighborhood like anyone else. I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters. I also have 2 pets. I usually spend my time walking the dog and feeding the cat. When I can’t do that though, I usually hang out with my friends. Two of them are dumb though because they love to mess with wires. I know my friends and I do dumb stuff they they are even more dumb because they even put wires in their mouths. One time, they attempted to put a wire in their mouths when someone turned on the electricity. They got shocked and had to go to the hospital, but if they didn’t get shocked at that time, they would have been dead right now. One of the many things we have that a normal town doesn’t have is a nuclear bunker, a new area near our town (which I think it is called area 377), and an abandoned church. The reason why the new area is being set up by our town is because they said that there might be aliens in the church, but I, and everyone else in the town don’t believe them.

The nearest city to our town is 25 miles away. We also have emergency bunkers just in case someone comes inside our house to kill us. My friends and I were going to the old fence that marks the border of our town. We then dared each other to go outside the fence. So, the reason why they put a fence to mark the border of where our town ends is because my town is government owned. If we jump out of the town, we will get shot. Once, a boy by the age of ten hopped the fence and five seconds later, we heard gunshots. He was never seen again. His mother cried for three months and almost died from dehydration. We are experiments to them and our grandparents volunteered to go, so people don’t help the elderly. The dumbest of us hopped the fence and hopped back. Then, the other dumb guy dared us to hop the fance for fifteen seconds and stay there even when they are spotted. We left him there to do it himself and he started to cry. That is one of the reasons he’s one of the dumbest in the group. We have twenty in our group and won every fight in the neighborhood.

We are now about to fight the biggest group in the neighborhood near us. That would mean that we will increase our number if we win. If they win though, some of our group members would leave. It probably won’t be any harm though because the dumbest are the most likely to leave in our group. The leader of our group took martial arts, jiu-jitsu, and kung fu. He knows other combat skills, but I don’t really know the names of them. I’m trying to surpass him, so I learned jiu- jitsu and martial arts, and right now I’m learning kung fu. I’m also increasing my knowledge about jiu-jitsu so that I could surpass my leader just incase combat moves that we know isn’t all he has. So, now we’re at the battlefield, about to fight with the other group. The leaders of our group settle this as combat only, which means we can’t bring any weapons. We then begin the fight. I take down four of the opposite team’s members and I keep going, trying to look for their leader in the crowd. I soon found him after I take down seven more with my jiu-jitsu skills. I then get his attention and he comes running at me. I then expect to take him down with my skills, but only using kung-fu, he took me down without a sweat. I got a concussion from that, but I still got up. The people that took that as an opportunity got taken down fast by me. I then attempted to take down as many people as possible. I knew that I would have to get better.

I summoned all my rage and used it against the opposite team. I wasn’t happy at all. I screamed as I took down the enemies. I became blinded by rage that I accidentally started to beat up my teammates. My team got pissed off with me and fought back. One though, was wise enough to know how angry I was and backed off. We continued to fight until almost everyone was too beaten up to continue. I found out that the leader of our group was fighting the leader of the other group. I walked to my house unharmed and sat in the chair outside my porch to see the rest of the fight. Our leader then beat the other guy down till he was hospitalized. We had won the fight. The few people still sanding cheered until they were exhausted. They then went back inside. I was glad, but somewhat disappointed. I had expected our leader to go down the same way, but yet he looked like he didn’t waste any effort in almost killing the opposite group’s leader. He looked pissed though so I didn’t say anything to him. There are some people who know about my intentions of beating our leader and becoming the leader myself. They informed me of the combat skills he knows so that I could make sure to learn them too. I could keep track of how many skills he knows though so I put them all on a piece of paper hidden inside my house just incase. My leader has been suspicious of what I do, so I’ve been avoiding him lately. He has noticed that I have been avoiding him lately and now he’s really suspicious. He was surprised that I didn’t attack him in the fight, but I know not to attack him now. Every fight we have against another group prepares me even more. When the day comes, I’ll kick him out. While I was busy thinking, we heard the ringing of a bell. The whole town went quiet.

Everyone looked at the direction the sound was coming from. The church. Some people started to panic while everyone else seemed frozen. Our group decided to investigate the noise. If someone was inside, they would have been caught and arrested because that is a forbidden area, but no one was inside. Some people started to hop the fence, but a few seconds later, we heard gunshots and knew that they will never come back. We decided the only way we would find out the cause of this noise is if we went inside. We opened the door and slowly entered the building. Every step we took sounded with a creak. The idiots of our group said that they will investigate the cause of the bell. I watched enough horror movies to know that we shouldn’t go directly to the questioned area. They were really loud though. They laughed as they went upstairs and trashed stuff around. In just a few seconds they left a trail of destruction behind them. We split up into two halves and went to investigate each room. My group leader took one half and I took the other since I was another founder of the group.

We went into this one room with a lot of spider and creaky walls. We went around and found notes and instuff. I looked into a hole and out came a rat. I killed it instantly with a flick of my wrist. We then found a chest that looked worn by age and opened it. It was filled with spiders, but the spiders weren’t even the part we were looking at. We were looking at a severed hand. It was half decayed, but it was still bloody. We didn’t take anything out of the chest except for a spider that we decided to keep. We then slowly creeped into the second room. The second room we went in was not as scary and it showed light too. It was actually pretty bright. We could see the guards from outside too. They then looked at us. We then saw them slowly point their guns at us, getting ready to fire. I ducked as they fired inside the room. They mostly missed too because they have very bad aim. They kept shooting until they ran out of bullets. We then started to throw rocks at them from a distance. Our aim was good and hit them square in the face. We saw that they were almost done reloading so we ran out of the room. We entered another room just as it started lighting up. We ducked as their terrible aim missed us. Then the gunfire stopped. We looked outside the window and saw that 70 (I counted) of them had just entered the town. I panicked and told one of our group members to warn the other half. We then ran to the floor below the bell tower.

We stopped there and rested for a while. The we heard the door open. We hid in whatever hiding spots we could find. We didn’t hear them enter the room. We then went downstairs to investigate. No one was there. We went back upstairs to investigate the situation. The guards had vanished. Suddenly, we heard two screams. We went inside only to find the idiots of our group in the bell tower, on the floor, dead. We then looked up only to see a figure taller than the bell in the tower, towering over us. He made a grab for us, but we squeezed through the door just in time. We didn’t stop until we reached the exit. One of use asked what that thing was and our group leader responded with “I don’t know.” I suggested that we get out before we can, but everyone else wanted to stay and investigate more, so that’s what we did. I decided to go alone this time, but right before we split up, we heard gunfire. More guards were coming at us so we ran inside. Then we heard screams and then, nothing. We looked outside and saw nothing. Those guards vanished too. Someone in the group screamed and ran into the halls. He never came back. We followed him, but we couldn’t find where he went. We pronounced him dead and moved on. I went alone while the rest of the group went together. I went into a room with a lot of light.

The light was coming from the sun outside and there wasn’t a lot of stuff in the room. I then saw something that made me shiver in fear. A chest that was locked. Somehow there was a key on top of it. I took the key, opened the chest and out came a girl younger than me. She was trying to stab me with her hand and I know that because I felt my ribs beginning to crack. I found the key to the chest and stabbed her in the arm. She retreated towards the light, were I couldn’t see her anymore. She was gone. I ran in fear, hoping that that thing would stay in the sun. I opened the closet and hid there. It was seven minutes before I then heard a scream. I thought of going out until I saw the girl reappear from the window. She took the chest and vanished.

I decided to stay a little longer when suddenly, I was grabbed from the neck. He was huge, bigger than the closet itself. I started to hit him, but it was useless. Slowly, I slipped into darkness. When I woke up, my group members were surrounding me. I screamed, thinking that they were all trying to kill me, but then I realised who they were and calmed down. My leader asked what happened, but I didn’t respond. I looked at the door and saw that it was closed. I asked why the door was closed because we were downstairs now. He said to answer his questions first.

Also, I forgot to mention that the name of our leader is Zeke. He is intelligent in what he does. He will not tell you anything until you answer his question. If you don’t, he’ll beat you till you do, and he doesn’t care if you die. That is exactly what happened when I didn’t respond. His fist came flying at my face, throwing me across the room, and into the statue, the floor sliding me there. I look at him in shock at what he had done. I didn’t have time to ponder on it though because he was already charging at me. I quickly tried to climb the statue, but then I felt his hand on my leg and pulling me down. I tried to hang on the statue’s arm, but he was too strong and ripped me off the statue in seconds. He then sent a series of fists at my face screaming to me, yelling at me what happend. In seconds I forgot what exactly happened and I kicked him off of me, sending him flying towards the chairs in the church.

I then got up and started with a form of kung fu. This form would make you bleed if hit. He then, with a bunch of motions with his arm was in a position with a form I didn’t know. I decided to be careful of his attacks when he started sprinting at me. I jumped and kicked him, but he had already harnessed his attacks. He grabbed my leg and swung me until I couldn’t see a thing and then he flung me across the room, hitting the door. I was drifting in and out of consciousness as he walked up to me. I got up and prepared to attack him again. This time I would defend myself with jiu-jitsu as he started to attack. I tried to trip him, but he was already in the air. I tried to grab his leg while he was flying towards me, but suddenly, he switched to the other leg instantly and a full force kick sent me into the door again. I stood no chance against him as he started to walk up to me again.

I decided to try one more time. This time, I didn’t care about leadership, I only cared about my survival because I knew that he would kill me if he didn’t get what he wanted and I had forgotten what happened after he had knocked me on the head. I started to say that we still need everyone we have to survive, but he responded and it wasn’t pleasant. He told me “I don’t care if you survive or not as long as I get the information I need and I will get it, even if it means killing you.” With that he was off, coming at me at full speed. I prepared a series of attacks as he started to force a punch with the speed he was at. I again tried to trip him as he performed his jumping again. I attempted to grab his leg as he flew in the air, but he switched legs. This time I ducked and then I flipped with my leg out and kicked him into the door where he flew out of the church, and landed with a thud onto the desert sand.

He then got up and started again with a moveset that I didn’t know, but before he could complete it, I was already sprinting at full speed, this time with a killing moveset. He eyed me with recognition of the moves I was using. He acted fast, at full speed and kicked me, sending me flying back. I was given false hope and I knew that I would lose if I continued. Last time, I fought the leader of the last group and he took me down without a sweat. The reason why I gave up on that fight was because I wasn’t fighting for my life. Now I am as he was already charging at me. He attempted to punch me, but I used his fist to punch him back and with my other hand, I released a series of punches at him and he was on the ground.

He then got up and this time changed his style of fighting. He was going to use something I didn’t know. This was bad, really bad. He swung his hands a little and I was already confused. I tried to figure out if he was using defensive style or offensive style. We sat there for a long time, his face bloody and I with a lot of cuts and bruises. A bump on my head has already formed and my hair was covered with blood. My nose was broken too and one of my eyes was darkened, the pupil too big for me to see with it. It was half shut too. I tried to negotiate with him again, but he had already started moving, his fist coming straight at me.

I use a new technique that I had just finished learning at used it against him. He jumped and then went past me, dodging my attacks. He then grabbed my under arm from behind and flipped me onto the floor. He then repeated this attack ten more times before he performed a final attack. He launched me across the room, making me collide into one of the chairs.

I slowly got up as he prepared to fight me again. I told him that I had forgotten what happened, but this came out muffled. The group backed up a little as he walked towards me, thumping as he went. I knew he was going to snap my neck, so I started to retreat.

He prepared to use a common move set that I attempted to use against him. He was truly going to kill me. I prepared to fight him with everything I know as I looked at him in the eye. He was already moving before I could think. He slid below me and started to spin around, head on the floor and legs spread out. It hurt a lot and he was already about to snap my neck. Then I flipped and kicked him in the stomach. He went sprawling across the floor, all the way until he was at the now broken door. I had won.

I didn’t have time to celebrate though, because suddenly a tall figure had appeared. It grabbed our leader and tore his head off. He then ate the rest and started to come after us. I ran with the others, hoping to get away from in graps. When I looked back, it was gone. I decided that, as the new leader of our group, we should get out of the church before anything else happens.

We ran towards the exit, but then the door closed shut. I tried to ram into the door, but it wouldn’t budge. That makes no sense. It doesn’t have anything to keep it locked and when I ram though wooden doors, they usually break. I panicked. I wished for Zeke to still be alive. He knows how to get through this mess, but then I would be dead. I have to survive, no matter what. I have to live. I have to, I have to. If I didn’t, then all my group members would perish along with me. I decided to break and jump out the window. All my other group members did the same. We got the injured and ran straight to my house. My mother opened the door, really worried and took me to bed. I told her everything that had happened, except for the part where I fought Zeke. She said “you need to go to sleep now,” then we heard a scream. Everyone was running all over the place and the police were shooting at something.

I went to our group of 16 and said that we need to leave. When we went outside, we saw the figure ripping open the police officer’s torso. Another police officer ran off and started to shoot again. I was terrified. This is what they were searching for this whole time. This monster, who is invisible to bullets. I screamed and ran towards the fence. I then heard gunfire, but not from the area of the fight scene. I heard it outside. I peered over the fence and saw the guards killing the terrified people climbing over the fence. I knew that we would never get outside.

I then saw a whole barrage of people run over the fence and break it. The guards were distracted. While they were distracted, I took my opportunity with my group and family and escaped, free from their graphs.
