Chapter Two

[take-theride.livejournal.com]

Even the harshest drugs couldn't make this place seem normal. Fuck, I haven't even taken any today, and I'm still seeing things I shouldn't be seeing.

...For fuck's sake did anyone take care of that goddamn war-lizard? I can't sleep knowing that thing could crush me between his toes where I would be stuck forever, able to see the very next thing he stepped on before I was slowly crushed to death. Good Christ.

This must be my punishment then, I suppose. I've done some bad things in my life, but surely most of us have. I don't deserve this, do I? I was a good person, and a fairly respectable citizen. Multiple felon, perhaps...but certainly not dangerous. I've learned from my mistakes, Lord, I've cleaned up my act. Even holy men sin, you know. Certainly I'll find my way out of this hell and get back home. Back to my sweet estate on the countryside with a cat and a refrigerator full of booze. I don't belong here...

Is it gone yet? Do I have time to stop and breathe? Can someone get me something to defend myself with? If not a goddamn firearm get me a fucking firehose!

You should leave the City.

Ah, just who I was thinking of!

This MAC place seemed pretty safe, but it doesn't mean I'm not worried. Where's a good place to settle in outside of this mess?

How did you get away?

[take-theride.livejournal.com]

I sort of showed up in the middle of it, after the worst was over.

I didn't really "get away" from anything.

[spiritusimmunde.livejournal.com]

No, I mean... you said it crushed you.

[take-theride.livejournal.com]

I said it could crush me, ass.

[spiritusimmunde.livejournal.com]

Like you never misread anything.

[take-theride.livejournal.com]

Never. I'm a doctor of fucking journalism, Son! Start paying more attention.

[spiritusimmunde.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm more than a little freaked today, and I was concerned. Sue me.

[take-theride.livejournal.com]

I would but my attorney seems to be missing.

Robo-cop is right though. We should leave the city.

[spiritusimmunde.livejournal.com]

Great.

I'm not leaving.

People are being evacuated, man. You can get gone, if you want.
