Chapter 1: Mystery Goo
Sam's POV:
"DIE DIE DIE DIE!" I shot wildly at the zombie army that was invading the screen. Yeah I had school tomorrow, yeah I had a test tomorrow, and yeah I even forgot dinner. But the zombies are attacking man!
"Okay, you REALLY have to go now; I was supposed to close up at nine thirty!" The freckled boy behind the counter came over to me. I waved a hand at him to go away then placed it back on the controls.
"TASTE THIS!" I war-cried at the hungry pack.
"Um… my mom says that if I don't come home soon…" he tried but I wasn't listening. "Come on, I really have to go to sleep" I flashed my eyes over to him, then back at the screen, "please? I can't stay out too late" I looked at him again, his eyes were kind of red, but what do I care? "I have to go to my AV club meeting in the morning!"
I huffed and put back the plastic gun, "Fine! You don't have to cry about it Fr—um, I mean" I looked at his name tag, "Arnold."
Suddenly he got all flustered and… pink… and smiley, "Woah, pretty high score." He pointed out, "you got to the graveyard, that's place is epic."
I just raised an eyebrow at the sweaty boy.
"I've only beat this three times. You know, maybe sometime, I could teach you how to…"
"I'm gunna stop you right there Arnold. I'm not going to go out with some random AV dork. Later." and with that I left the building. Yeah, I could have broken his thumbs for asking me out, but I don't know, I just felt like sparing the guy. Maybe I didn't have as much energy with my tummy all empty. Whatever. Now all I had to worry about was getting home…
I walked down the dark Seattle streets. It was uncomfortably warm, even though it was really late. There was a humidity that hung in the air, it was gross. But that didn't bother me as much as my stomach was at this point. It was unbearable I realized. The zombies were very distracting, as zombies tend to be. I've never gone this long without food. I don't know what starvation feels like, but this has got to be dang close. I looked up at Carly's apartment a few blocks away… too far…
*Ruuuuummble*
I pet my belly lovingly, "sorry tum-tum, I'll find you some grub… somewhere…" I scanned my surroundings. Nothing was open this late that was close enough. Close enough meaning I wasn't patient enough. I did, however, spot a nearby trash can…
I looked around, no one was here… I side stepped my way over. Something told me not to, but I was pushed forward by my overpowering, probably unnatural, need for FOOD.
I peered in.
All that was on top was a lot of paper and, well, trash. I dug threw old fast food wrappers with no luck, not even a few scraps! I scooped in deeper.
*GRUMBLERRRUMMMM*
Aw, man! I WAS starving! I dug in deeper, up to my elbows now. Nothing! Stupid Seattle!
*clink*
I stopped. What did I just hit?
It felt like some kind of thermos. Oooh! Did someone throw away soup?!?
I pulled out the mystery object. It wasn't a thermos. Or, at least, it wasn't containing thermosy things. It was metal at the ends but see-through in the middle. An odd green liquid shown through. Weird. I examined it.
Ooooooooooh… it was kind of hypnotizing.
It was so… glowy. I don't use this word a lot, but it was, pretty. I hoped it tasted pretty.
I struggled to unscrew the top. An air-tight seal broke. I stuck my head closer to the thick goop. It had no smell at all. Was that good?
*RRRUMMMMMMBLE GRUMMMBMMMBLE*
Oh well, here goes nothing.
I scooped it up. But it slipped out of my hands before I could get it to my mouth. Hmm… this was going to be more difficult than I thought. Eh, who needs hands? I went savage all over that can of mystery substance. And the weird thing was… it tasted good. Really good actually. It wasn't sweat, or tangy, or spicy, or meaty, or salty… it was just… goopy. Yet satisfying.
I polished off the container in no time. I felt better. For the first time in my life, actually, full. Wow that was good.
I decided not to think about what I had just done, because I'd probably regret it later. I stuffed the empty can back into my bag and made my way to Carly's apartment.
She would be asleep, but I'd break in. Easy. Then I'd fall asleep on her couch and go to school the next day. It was the average routine, life as always.
Or so I thought.
BWAHAHAHAHA!! What does this mean? What was that goop? And what will it do? Okay, you can probably figure out by the title… and the summery… just read the next chapter!!
ReViEw!! rEvIeW!! reVIew!! REviEW!! … okay, just review.
