The Other Side
Jake opened one eye and lights hanging over his head made him regret that decision as he immediately shut it back. He could hear sounds near him but when he tried to turn his head he couldn't, immediately realising that he was strapped down to a table.
"Jake are you there?" A woman said cared and barely audible.
He couldn't tell who it was at first. He then remembered her name. "Alice" he began yelling. "Where are you sweetheart."
She quickly responded with "I don't know but it's dark and i'm scared."
Jake could plainly tell that she was actually scared for her life. He couldn't move to help comfort her so he began to think of anyway to help her. Nothing came to mind for a second and they both laid in complete silence. He then came up with an idea he thought to have been so smart. He said "A big old farm house sitting on about 5 acres of land. A nice big ol' tree near a pond with some fish inside. You and me just sitting under that tree just talking."
Alice responded with a little hesitation "What are we going to talk about."
He realised that this may actually work. So calmly he said "We'll talk about our kids playing in the fields and the dog chasing them." Hoping she was happy he continued to say "Maybe even talk about some of the plants were growing. Anything that you want to talk about."
She was smiling but Jake couldn't tell but he somehow knew this. Alice almost in tears says "I can't wait till the day we can get that house. Can we also have other animals?"
Jake quickly responded with "We can have any animal that you want to have." Suddenly there was a sound coming from what they believe to be a hallway. He wasn't sure what it was since it wasn't a sound he heard before. Then the thing was in the room with him and Jake didn't know what to do. The thing grabbed the cart and began pulling him away. Jake began yelling "Alice! Where are you taking me you vile creature! Alice sweetheart where are you!"
He only heard the slight sound of her voice and he made out that she was yelling his name. Within a few seconds though her voice could no longer be heard. Jake became agitated and was yelling and kicking at the creature he still didn't know what it was. The thing brought him to a room and undid his straps and took a step back. Jake immediately jumped up and went to grab his gun but it wasn't there. Jake charged for the door and yelled "Alice where are you?" Jake then turned towards the creature and went to punch it but was shot by some kind of gun at his side.
Jake stood there looking at it and was groaning and yelling at the thing "You fucker." He was slowly feeling light headed as the blood leaked out of his wound. He couldn't really fight back now and he stumbled backwards and hit the wall and slowly sat down. The thing got closer and put a thing on his arm that jake couldn't tell what it was. The thing then took his boots and hat that jake still had on him.
Jake began to lose consciousness and asked "Why?"
To his astonishment the thing actually responded with "We are going to wage war and it wouldn't be fair if we just annihilated everyone. So as a group we have decided that one person will have the power to fight back."
Jake was completely gone now and the thing injected him with a serum to have him forget everything that happened here. Then another creature walked in and took him out and laid him in the middle of the desert. A little after the creature left the sun began to rise and the vultures circled way up above his head. Then his eyes began to twitch.
