Amidst the shadows cast by the large buildings lining the streets of the city is the faint cracks between the towering forms. Alleyways are often seen as the scourge of the city, they are meant for trash, and purse robbing scum bags who have nothing better to do but terrorize anyone who wants to walk through there.
The city was a tough place, as Jake is well aware. But these hostile habitats, he learned to call his home. And here he lies, slumped in a corner, consumed by shade, and coughing up a storm. He was miserable the past few weeks, he seldom left the alleys, as he had picked up a nasty virus. He was coughing non stop, his skin was pale and his senses were dulled, even the symbiote couldn’t help him through this.
“H-hey kid!” echoed a voice. Jake wasn’t usually confronted by the strangers of this city, he didn’t think the call was directed at him, or even in his direction, but it was a sharp wake up. It was as though the man was right next to him. Jake decided it was in his best interest to ignore it, and get to sleep, before his nose started to pick up the smell of the dumpster he was propped up next to.
“Kid?...” the voice said again. Jake opened his eyes again, that wasn’t a coincidence, the voice positioned the man at being right in front of him. Jake looked up, squinting as he took in the sunlight, which faintly silhouetted the man’s figure. He was rough looking, as though he lived on the streets just like Jake did, but something about him gave Jake the impression he lived in an apartment. But the mans appearance was not of interest, it was the gun in the mans hand that was.
“Kid, I-I’m going to need you to… give me what you’ve got.” The man sounded nervous, Jake knew he wasn’t going to pull the trigger. He’d deal with this one quickly, persevering as much energy as he could. He wasn’t in the mood for games. Perhaps caught in his thoughts, Jakes reaction was delayed after a brief pause he finally said, “your not going to pull that trigger.”
“Kid, please don’t mess with me, just give me any money you have on you.”
Jake realized then that what he was wearing, aside from a few small stains his clothes were clean, he looked like a freaking rich kid who got stoned, or wasted and just past out in some alleyway, this guy thought this would be some easy prophet, to bad for him.
A small tentacle materialized on Jakes face, it slid across his cheek. More tentacles began to protrude from his body. “Walk away, sir.” Jake warned. The man stumbled back in shock, but his gun stayed steady, his expression was shock, but Jake couldn’t see any fear. It was like the guy didn’t believe in what he was seeing. “P-please kid, just give me all you got.” The man said, a tear rolled down his cheek. Jake could see he misread the man, he was desperate, he wanted to survive, and he’d kill to do it. He was willing to do, what needed to be done, but he wasn’t content with it.
The man’s finger muscles tightened, he was ready to pull the trigger. Jake wasn’t going to let that happen, with a brisk push he launched upwards, throwing his arm forward to swipe at the guys face, and tear it to pieces. But it didn’t go as planned, a violent shock sent Jake flying back, partnered by a deafening of the ears. Jake hit the wall hard seeing blood splattered across it, already oozing down its brick surface. He looked for a wound any where, but realized that the blood was dripping from his own forehead. He was shot right between the eyes. The only reason he was still alive was probably because of the symbiote.
Jake grabbed onto the man’s arm, holding himself up, but then another deafening shot sounded, this time Jake was hit right in the stomach. He looked into the man’s eyes, he was afraid, the man was afraid. Jake realized then, that he was scared too. He watched as the tentacles slithered from his body to his killer’s arms, he watched as what was keeping him alive, what was numbing the pain, abandoned him for the person who was causing the pain. And as Jake became limp, and as he let go of the man’s arm, he realized his life would end. And that that man, took away everything he had, and everything he would ever get, including the symbiote.
There, he did it. The kid was dead, Adam was not expecting this to happen, he didn’t look like a fighter, he didn’t look like someone who would do something like that. He didn’t even know why he shot the kid, he just did. And was he seeing things? What was that that was crawling on the kids face, Adam hadn’t been drinking lately, he hadn’t tried shrooms ever in his life, but he MUST have been hallucinating, the liquid crawled into his freaking arm, but he didn’t feel it, or at least he didn’t think he felt it.
Adam stooped over and felt into the kids pockets. Nothing, no wallet, no cash, not even a knife or lighter. What was the point of this? He was going to end up in jail and he wouldn’t even be able to get a decent meal before it, he wouldn’t get to have a better mattress or money to pay off his debts, he was screwed. He couldn’t afford a lawyer; the police would be sure to send him to jail for the rest of his life.
Adam screamed leaning over the kid, and looking down at him, using his arms to hold himself up against the wall. He didn’t know exactly how but he became exactly like the people he HATED. He became a common thief, but a failure of a common thief, the kind of failure who winds up shooting somebody without any money. Adam pushed himself off the wall after a while, he realized then he was sobbing, as the tears strolled down his face instead of hitting Jakes body. Adam stumbled away, he dropped the gun at Jake’s feet, maybe he deserved what he was going to get.
Well James Bond Chinchilla and Monsta Pacman gets old after a year or so of absence. >_> Methinks I'll leave this blank until I come up with something to put here.
