A strange place
“Hey kid are you alright” I heard in a blurry way. I can tell that it’s a man. i Then opened my eyes to see a man likewise in his twenties.
“And what’s up with your right arm it’s…Glowing” The guy said
§d whilst trying to grab it. But then I quickly got up and pointed to him.
“You saw nothing,” I said to him in a menacing way.
“Alright fine but you sure you don’t need an ambulance?” He asked.
“No but thanks anyway” I said and he walked away. I then look down at my arm.
“What the hell is going on?… This doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. Why is it glowing in the black and purple pattern!” I thought confusingly.
“But where the hell am i. Well I can tell that by the yellow taxi I saw and this alleyway with extremely tall buildings making up the wall. I’m probably in Manhattan, New York ″ I thought. Then I look around to see if there is possibly something to cover up my arm with. And I found an old black & white blanket. I then put it unevenly on my shoulders so that most of the blanket is on my right side. Then I checked my pockets and in my left pocket I found a 100$bill. I then stash it in my right pocket. Then I walked to the exit of the alley way. I put my foot on the street and took a deep breath and stepped out to be met by people.
“Right now i probably need to find a clothing store to find a arm long sleeve for the entirety off my right arm” I thought,
“Even though I think people will probably look at me in disgust” I thought. “Now where the hell am I supposed to find a clothing store?” I thought to myself. I then walked out and looked right and left.
“Omg Jessica i can’t wait to get to that new clothing store that opened. They sell so much stuff I bet you you’ve never seen” I heard a girl say whilst she walked past me.
“There’s my answer” I thought and started following them from a distance.
“Right, I need a long glove or a sleeve because my arm is just covered with… A moving galaxy pattern that is glowing purple blue every color that builds up a galaxy pattern” I thought to myself. “How the hell did this happen?” I thought to myself.
“Wait, are those girls still in front of me?” I thought to myself in frustration. I then back up and bump into someone. I then turn around to see a tall man above six feet.
“My deepest apologies but do you know the location for that new clothing store that opened.” I ask.
“Yeah it’s right there” He says and points to a building.
“Well i must be blind but thank you” I said to him and started walking to the building.
“This town has definitely changed since i last was here… In 2009 now it is. I haven’t even figured out the year yet. I’ll find a billboard somewhere. And this must be the clothing store” I thought whilst walking to the clothing store.
“Ohh and look there. It’s those two girls I followed. Guess I am going to the right place” I thought whilst looking at them. I then walked in after them and looked at some signs.
“Where the hell could accessories be on this thing? Ohh on the bottom of course. Section seven… Sure” I thought to myself whilst looking at the
sign. Then I started following small signs to section seven.
“Right, I’m here” I thought to myself when I arrived. “Head accessories are at the right and then arm accessories right next to it… This is great″ I thought to myself and chuckled. I went to the arm accessories first and found a very long black sleeve that covered my hand and my arm up to my shoulder.
“Here begins my emo phase” I thought whilst picking it up with my left arm.
“Wait 2 dollars for this. I thought this would be more expensive” I thought to myself whilst walking out of the aisle to and into the head accessories aisle. Then I picked up a blue and white bandana. Then I started following signs to get to the cashier. I went up to it to see a middle aged woman as the cashier.
“Just these two please” I said whilst placing my items on the counter. She picked them up and scanned them then she got her head closer to me.
“You’re not planning on committing some crimes with this right?” She asked in a dark tone.
“Lady, if I was a criminal , I would have bought a mask and two sleeves instead of one.” I said annoyingly to her.
“Hmm touche, touche but why are you buying a sleeve then love?” She asked kindly.
“Can you please stop asking questions?” I said.“Alright then darling” She said and took my 100 dollar bill. and gave me back 95 dollars. I then took my stuff and walked outside and went into an alleyway.
I then took the price tags off and put on the sleeve and bandana. Then I walked out of the alley and looked around.
“What now?” I thought. Then I was pulled into the alleyway by a man.
“I saw you leave with ninety five bucks in your pockets” “Give them to me!” He yelled at me. Then he pulled out a knife and started to scratch my skin with it.
“Is this really your choice of life?” I asked him.
“Kid don’t you dare talk back to me, just give me the money and you won’t be leaving with an internal bleeding” He said.
“Internal is when you’re bleeding from the inside without a stab wound,” I said.
“Oh well screw you then” He said and raised the knife. But then From my right arm I saw two meteorites fly and hit him in the stomach which sent him flying backwards. Then he got back up and started running towards me. I then pointed towards him.
“Stop right there” I yelled. But then from behind me a barrage of meteorites flew on to him.The guy looked as if he was getting electrocuted. Then he was sent flying back once again.
“What in the world?” I wondered until I came back to reality and realized that I needed to get out of here. So I walked in the other direction of what is probably a corpse by now. I eventually made it out and I just felt confused.
“The f**“K was that?” I wondered.
“But by this point I should find some place to eat before I starve but what was that thing that I saw was unexplainable” I thought.
“Hey kid” I heard from a male behind me.
“Now what do you want?” I said whilst turning around. Right in front of me I see an old man with a long coat.
“Well this screams pedophilia” I though suspiciously to myself.
“I am Kenton Nate and I saw what happened in the alleway” I he said.
“Well s’’t this is just great isn’t it” I thought.
“Can we sit down somewhere to talk? Preferably a restaurant” I said.
“Please say no, Please say no. Please say no” I thought.
“Sure, where do you wanna go?” He asked.
“F’’K”
“So What you’re telling me is that there was a bunch of meteorites coming out of your arm that defeated the man that attacked you in the alleyway” He summarized.
“Yeah!” I said.
“So what are we even doing here?” I asked him.
“Well from what you’re telling me you have a meteorite ability that helped you defeat the man in the ale way” He answered.
“Yes!” I said.
“Well what you should do is pursue it and try to make it help you in severe situations” He said.
“Ok thank you bye” I said an left
“No wait” I heard behind me .
“Screw you!” I yelled back at him.
“Seems like this city has gotten worse since I was last here” I said to myself when i got out.. I then heard the door behind me open. I then turn around to see kenton standing there
“Kid, I still want to talk with you,” he said.
“Would you please leave me alone!” I yelled.
“Listen, I can help you. I am a very powerful man and own very many companies.
“Go on” I said.
“And I know that you are probably looking for your parents. If you just give me your last name I can find them for you” He said. I then looked at him for a couple of seconds before walking away.
“I’ll leave it to you buddy” I said. But then something grabbed my shoulder and I turned around and pointed. But when I pointed and a meteorite came out and hit him in the shoulder, he then fell to the ground. I then stood there in shock before running away.
“Right i have gotten far away from him there is no way that old off a man can travel that quickly over here” I thought.
“Wait, haven’t I been here for 30 minutes and all of this has happened. Either it’s bizarre or the new yorkers have gotten idiotic” I thought confusingly.
“Let me have a word with you!” I heard behind me.
“Ohh for f**ks sake do you ever give up moron” I yelled at Kenton.
“If you want I can give you a pair of keys to an apartment” He said.
“Wait what did he say!” I thought.
“Will you pay the rent and does it have furniture?” I asked as I was turning around.
“Yes,” Kenton said. Then I walked up and he gave me the key.
“Street?” I asked. “Right there” He said and pointed to a building. Then I started walking towards it. I walked into the building and looked at the key.
“I thank you,” I said.
“Yes but you will have to go on missions” He said whilst I was walking away.
“Whatever you say old man” I yelled back
I then walked into the building and looked around. I then took the key out of my pocket and read “174”. Then I looked at the first door which had number 1 on it. Then I walked to the elevator.
“Out of order :(“ I read.
“Youve got to be kidding me!” I yelled. Eventually after like 7 hours I finally reached my apartment with very many weird looks from people. I unlocked the door
“Finally home” I exhaled. Then I took a deep breath with my eyes closed.
“Screw this getting started crap, ” I said and jumped on the couch.
“Wake up on your mission” I heard.
“Wait what… I swear on Ra, Zeus, Odin and Jupiter that when I open my eyes and I see Kenton I will commit 27 war crimes. I thought to myself. And then I opened my eyes to see, you guessed it, Kenton.
“Well I’m off to China,” I said as I opened my eyes.
“What no you’re not. But maybe next week, “he said.
“What?” I just asked but he didn’t answer.
“How can I be on a mission when I don’t even have a job!. ” I said frustratingly.
“Well if you live here in this apartment that is owned by me you must work” He said menacingly.
“And also here’s the thing, You see every move you do, everything you do is observed by the government.” He said.
“Why?” I asked and looked around. Then he bent down and looked straight into my eyes.“Because you are technically wanted by the government,” He said.
“How? if i may ask” I asked.
“Do you remember anything from sixteen years ago?” He asked.
“No I haven’t since I am 14 which means that I wouldn’t” I said.
“Do you remember anything about your parents, Siblings?” He asked.
“No, it’s all blurry but there is some evidence there” I said.
“I’ll give you a moment to think about it” He said and left.
