Please let it be a dream, please let it be a dream....
I opened my eyes and the big scarred guy was still there.
"Little man, what do you do for a living?" It had an american accent. strange.
"I was a clerk," I said shamefully.
"Did you ever want to be more?" Intelligent question for a d-bee.
"Not really. I just wanted to live my life through, while making an honest living." He didn't seem to like that answer.
"You call selling anti-d-bee equipment, honest?" He hollered at me.
"Ok, so it wasn't the most honest living but I was happier and safer then when I was as a farmer. Until this stupid race." His face turned bright orange...well, brighter, then it was before.
"This stupid race will make you happier and safer then you could ever have been in Chi-town." He was starting to look like he was about to rip my head off so I decided to shut up.
He threw me an energy rifle and I almost dropped it.
"What is this for?"
"We're going hunting." Simple but terrifying to me. The only time I went hunting I saw my brother ripped in half.
"What are we hunting? Elephants? Why the heavy weapons?"
"You'll see."
"What do you mean, you'll see?! What are we hunting?"
"It's a surprise. Follow me." He starts to leave, into the forest. Now I'm terrified. I follow him so I won't be alone.
Out here I can't keep my knees from shaking. I mess with my hatchet to try to relax me. I was hoping that I wouldn't cry in front of...what the hell is his name?
"Not to be pushy, but what is your name?"
"You? Push me around?"
"Good point, but what is your name?"
"My name is Muzzle." He looks a little shy for a second. "My mother worked at an insane asylum. By the way, don't do that it hurts."
"Huh?" right after he says that I drop my hatchet and cut my hand.
"How did you know that would happen?"
He stops suddenly and points at a bush moving.
"Shut up and watch."
"Ok." He looks at me wierd for saying that, and rolls his eyes. Maybe he is more human than me.
A little pink bunny hops out from the bush.
"That's what your afraid of?" And I stand up.
"No!!"
"What's the big deal?" Why do I say stupid things.
The bunny looked at me and suddenly turned into a twelve foot long snarling beast with two foot fangs, and claws that could turn a car into scrap.
At that point I was so scared that I...lost control, of my bodily functions.
"Use your gun!" Muzzle yelled as he tries to get a clear shot.
I take a look at the gun in my hands and realize, I'm armed! As I start to point it the monster bites at my leg, and I could see every grueling, horrifying nanosecond of it. As it was bringing it's huge fangs down on my leg, something miraculous happened. Muzzle let off a shot right into the creatures eye. As it reels back in pain I let off a shot into it's gaping mouth and it dies instantly.
"Good thing you didn't hesitate," Muzzle says as he giggles to himself.
"Huh? What? Oh, yeah," that's all I can say after a shocking event like that.
"Good work. You killed it, you clean it," he says as he walks off back to our cave.
