FEAR, by RICHARD S.
"damn it's hot", I sayed, as i was loading my truck for delivery.
I basically work the delivery end, for a company named Spenider, whitch sells farming equipment. Today was like most other days, my boss is an ass, my scedual is overloaded, and my truck is beat up.
"Get the hell over here, you have a new delivery.", sayed my boss, Mr. Mither.
"Yes, sir."
"Take this to Trenton, whitch is out side of Harisburg."
"Sir, that is over 2 hours from here"
"Do you want your job? I can hire any dumb idoet who walks in off the street to do what you do!!"
"Yes, sir, I will make the dlivery",
I pulled out my old trusty map to check driving directions from Dubois, PA.
"Why do you use that old thing? Probly half the roads on there don't exist any more!!!"
"Sir, it was my Grandfathers, it never steered me wrong."
"Fine, just make the delivery, NOW! You have 3 hours to ge back here!"
"Yes, sir"
I loaded the last carton in to the back of my truck, threw the key into the ignition, and pulled out, any thing is better than being around that prick all day"
I was driving down rout 119, and just passed Punxy, pA, and wondered what the heck do these people love about a stupid ground hog, and why wast all that money on groud hog's day, for.
****************************
Damn, i lost my consentration, let me check the map here. Ah I am not doing too bad, oh, a short cut is 2 miles up ahead, it will cut 20 minutes off of my trip!
I was driving along, and seen the short cut, it looked like it wasn't used for a road for quite a while, but it was a short cut.
Pulling off, i floored the gas pettle, hoping my suspencion would hold out, this would be fun on a 4 wheeler, but not so much in a delivery truck.
About 3 miles in i noticed a grey mantion off to the left, srounded by wrought iron fence, a little while later i see a garve yard on the property, surounded by the same wrought iron fence. It almost looks like some one lives here, but why way out here in the middle of nothing?
I slowed down a bit, and was pondering the house i just seen, and i came upon a wooden bridge, whitch looked to be intact. Ah, i can make it across it., I floored it again, and when I was about half way across, i Heard the crunching, and splintering of wood.
ME, and my truck, went into the small gully, last thing i heard was a large crash, than every thing went black.
**************************
I awoke, in my truck, finding I was kissing the steering wheel.
I climed out, and noticed there was a small trickle of water in the creek.
Reaching up, i felt my forhead, and found dryed caked blood.
Of all the days, why today, my boss is going to kill me.
Than it happened, it started to pour down rain. I needed to get out of the rain, and than get back to the road, to get help.
Ah, yes, I could go to the old house i saw, would most certanly be dry in there.
I walked in the rain for what seemed like hours, until i finally came to the house, looking inviting as ever.
Going up the steps, I nticed it wasn't in bad shape at all, just dis-used.
I reached out, to try the door handel, and noticed it was warm, wierd i thought.
The door was locked, but 1 well placed kick, knocked it in.
The interior looked like there was a maid there every day, not a speck of dust, or cob web any where. Odd, considering, it looked like no one lived in it for over 50 years, from the out side.
I called out several times, but no answer.
Wondering around, i seen a library, with many books, and a nice sword on a mantal.
There was a sudden urge in me, to go take the sword. I oblited, since i was taking classes, using swords, and it looked nice, and balanced.
Oh, boy it was. A keen double edge was on it. I took several test swings, and it was perfect, like it was ment to be mine.
A flash of lightning sounded out side, and ther was a strange purple glow, all around me. Another flash of lightning, and i was temporrarly blinded. I felt a jolt of energy.
Regaining my sight, i was confronted with a giant roc, standing in front of me. I ran out of the room, and saw the second shock of my life, a bunck of skeletons were standing there, perfectly b;eached white.
Too late, they noticed me. I desided they were better oponents, than the giant roc, so i took a swing at the neerest one. My new sword sliced threw it, like butter.
The other 3 that remained, came after me. I ran, and side slashed 2 of them, coming around, and doing an over head chop on my recovery.
well, 3 less skeletons.
WHAT THE HELL IS SKELLETONS DOING HERE, I THOUGHT THAT STUFF WAS FOR BOOKS
I ran into the foyer, hoping to escape my nightmare, but was confronted by 2 zomby like cretures. I fenced with them for a while, but noticed they wouldn't drop re-dead with normal attacks. after a while, i found cutting the head off killed them.
The other one ment a swift fate.
runnig to the door, i seen a very large, ugly creature. It was very fat, about 5 feet tall, with no legs, 2 long arms, a fatty head, with 2 humungous horns jutting out the side. I desided to name them Biledemonds.
I stabbed the biledemond, but it only grunted, and started scooting tword me, swinging its horns side to side.
I took a running leap, bringing my sword inbetween my legs. landing on the other side of it, I realized, I never knew I could jump that high, or far.
Mean while, the bile demond slumped over, it's skull half cleaved through.
Looking aroung, it looked like the same world I knew. Desiding to run along down the abondent road seemed like the best option for me, so that no critters can follow me.
Boy, i never knew i was THIS fast.
Running along, I robed figure stepped out of the woods, infront of me, raising his hand, in a stop motion. In his hand he had a blue ora, whitch he threw at me! I ducked, and there was an explosion behimd me, followed by a yelp.
I looked, and thee was what remained of a dog like creature. it was 4 feet tall, 6 feet long, with a huge head, whitch jutted 3 eyes. I'll call them Horas.
"Thanks", I sayed
"Do not mention it, you will need all the help ypu can, Rick"
"How did you know my name?"
"You picked up the curset sword, whitch releases a curse on the world."
"Oh, great, that just made my day"
"The only way to stop it, Is to defeat Jaras, and all 12 of his minions. You've allready ment Rond.
"Oh him"
"Each one you defeat, endows you with a little more power"
"How do you know all this", and who are you?", i asked.
"My name is Johnathon, and i was last person to touch that sword. What you see is his spirit, whitch was traped in the Sword of Sorrows, whitch you wield. You gained some power when you first wielded it. You have been endowed with healing power, which will enable you to heal faster. you have been also endowed with speed, and strenght."
"Thanks, why are you here now?"
"My final destany is to teach you, befor my spirit departs"
With that, John faded out.
I needed to get to a road, hopefully my family is allright, back in DuBois.
I rushed along, until i came to the road. After a few minutes I flagged down a moterest. He slowed down, and when he came to a stop, he got out, and walked tword me.
just than a huge bird thing,t hat looked like a taradactle swooped down, and grabbed him, taking off into the sky. I thinck i'll call these guys Taras.
YOU TAKE OVER FROM HERE
OCC: THIS is just part of the story, i am very tired right now, and do not feal like typing right now, have fun.
