Lost Hopes

'I cant believe this is happening, this couldn't be all my fault could it?' Dan thought to himself as he leaned up against the side of a brick building.
Dan was looking up and down the streets , although he couldn't really see much considering the extremely thick fog. 'I should just stay here , In till this all blows over ,...wait... what if it doesn't blow over? what if the whole world is like this' Dan thought beginning to panic. Dan really dint want to go anywhere , the last thing he wanted was to run into one of those freaked out monsters , but it was pretty dam cold outside.

Finally Dan gave in and began walking in a random direction , after all it dint really matter where he headed , he couldn't even see for shit anyways. It seemed like every step was a battle , he had to force himself to continue on , despite his fear of running into one of those fucked up things. As Dan walked threw the thick fog covered street he crossed his arms hugging himself for warmth. "And I wanted a paradise, this is what I got ,...some fucking paradise" Dan scowled to himself as he came to a intersection. 'Great now which way,...sigh I guess I'll just keep going straight in till I find someplace to hide in' Thought Dan as he carefully crossed the intersection looking around first to check for creatures. This area seemed more commercial than the previous area witch was mostly crumbling houses.

As Dan walked forth he could see a light threw the fog it looked like a red neon light. 'Maybe its a store or restaurant, that means there could be food in there as well' thought Dan as he increased his pace of walking .
"ha maybe there's a god after all" Dan laughed. As Dan walked towards the light in the distant he heard a loud crash to his left. "holy shit!" screamed Dan as he whipped around looking into the ally to his left,
his hands outstretched as if he expected to be tackled by some creature.
But as he looked about frantically he dint see anything , then he noticed a overturned garbage can witch was rattling around on its side. "what the fuck is in there" Dan said as he stared bemused at the garbage can.

To Dan's relief a cat jumped out from the garbage can , the cat had a piece of meat in its mouth. "Jesus , fucking cat ...man" Dan sighed as he wrapped his arms back around his chest and began walking towards the red neon light. As Dan got closer he could make out more of the building that held the Neon sign he could now make out the letters of the sign.
"Heavens Bar,...huh maybe there are others in there" Dan said as he began jogging towards the place. Dan finally came up to the front of the building. "Please be open" Dan said as placed his hand on the door handle,
to his relief the door opened. 'This is the first dam thing that's gone right today' thought Dan as he walked into the dark bar.

"Hello , anybody in here , hello!" Dan called as he looked around at a deserted scenery. There were booths lining the walls and a cat walk with a pole, plus a main bar lined with stools . There were no lights on , with the exception of several dim lights over the bar and a neon sign witch like the one outside, said Heavens Bar. "doesn't seem like heaven to me" said Dan as he walked over to the bar , still vary cautious , he wasn't certain that this place was exactly safe yet. "lets see what we got here" said Dan as he Leaned on the bar counter and reached around fishing for a liquor bottle.
'Here we go' thought Dan as he brought his hand back with a bottle of jacks. 'man this place reeks of cigarettes ,beer and stale food' he thought as he tightly grasped the cap of the bottle of jacks , and with a twist he popped it open. "here we go" he said with enthusiasm. Dan took a large swig of the jack Daniels , then brought his other hand up to wipe his mouth.
"now that's refreshing" he gasped feeling his stomach become warm.

'Now lets see if there's some food in this joint, then ill be really fine' he thought as he slid off the stool and made his way around the bar counter.
"here we are" Dan said coming to a door. Dan cautiously opened the door slowly unsure if he would find a kitchen with food or a creature looking for food. 'looks okay to me' he said looking in the dark kitchen , there were cabinets and stoves littered with all sorts of cooking utensils. Dan walked into the kitchen and immediately started opening cabinets and drawers. But all of a sudden he felt a large gust of wind blow past him.
'what the hell, there aren't any windows in here' he thought as he turned around to observe the room. Dan jumped back flying into a giant metal cabinet sending pots and pans crashing to the ground. "who the fuck are you!" screamed Dan as he backed away from the image of a hooded women.

"I am part of you" the women replied. "Me...what?" stuttered the perplexed Dan. "Yes ... but that's not important" "how'd you get in here?" asked Dan.
"This is all your fault , Your just like your ancestors. you can never just be content with this world or your life." said the women , her face displaying a pale look of despair. "what are you talking about , I dint want this" sputtered Dan. "You just don't understand , you cant fool with things you don't understand, your just as naive as your ancestors were . You've gone and made there same mistake, all for your desire of a paradise. this must be contained." the women spoke, her voice trailing off as she disappeared.
"wait! ...I dint want this , I dint know this was going to happen , help me . screamed Dan. But it was no use the women was gone. "It...it was my fault" Dan said as he sat down leaning against the metal cabinets, and buried his face in his hands. 'This wasn't suppose to happen' he thought as he wept himself into a deep sleep.

End of part one.
