THE ONLY THING I COULD THINK OF WAS the sunset of this sunday night. I thought of all the time I could have just running free, but, with all the emotional connections I have with all of my family and relatives, there is not a way I could leave my family. And I would never want my family to have to worry about me.
For the moment I sat on my bed with the blinds open, staring at the sunset, my mother, Frida, calls me downstairs for a "favor" she would ask me to do for her.
"Could you go grab me some eggs for the birthday cake I am currently trying to make? I need to make it for my sister." She asks me. And, I completely forgot that it was my aunt janice's birthday. So I would have to get ready into my sunday best.
After I got dressed into a pair of jeans and a plaid shirt, (Frida does not accept me to wear plaid in any other color except white, and expects me, for every b-day party, to wear church clothes for every birthday, since we're mormon) and run downstairs.
After the lecture I receive from Frida for having to wear plaid, I start on my way to the chevron that was half a mile away from our house. I stare at how far this place was from civilization. This place was practically a few miles away from any town or city, and there was only one road. A two -laner. And this place was built in the late-twentieth century. The home has been here, separated from civilization for the past...almost fifty years. Realizing what I was supposed to do, I blink, for a piece of dust getting in my eye, and continue down the road.
During the walk, I see...something in the wheat fields of Mr. foresters farm, and notice a wolf-like creature in the fields. It had part of its ear bitten off. But it looked...shadow-y. It looked as if it was engulfed in complete darkness. And all I could see was its red eyes.
I start walking away, trying to overcome my fear of wolves. Of course, I would already be dead if I ran.
After the half a mile, I arrive at the Chevron. The "v" on the Chevron sign was flickering at a very fast pace. And it kind of creeped me out.
I walk inside. With the usual "greetings." and "how are you?" from the only worker inside the building. And he was the one to do literally everything to keep the place alive. He had to make sure there was enough syrup in the soda machines, he had to sign the papers for stock delivery all by himself. He had to make sure the pipes and the machines were in working condition. All of the sorts.
Going to the specified isle that was told to me by my mother, I find that there was no eggs there on the shelf. In fact, there was nearly nothing in stock today. Going to the front desk to ask the only worker if there was any five-dozen pack eggs in the back, I realize I was talking to myself. There was currently no worker at the front counter. Maybe he is too busy doing some paperwork in his office, since he did forget to sign the papers for the stock delivery last week. And that should explain why he almost out of…
I hear someone clear their throat down where the office area was.
Though I should know that I should not be back there past the "employees only" area, I enter anyway. Seeing him writing down the last credentials on his paperwork, he looks up, and literally jumps. Papers flying all over the place, he finally manages to choke out: " what are you doing in here?! You are not supposed to be in here!"
"I am only here for a five-dozen pack of eggs. Do you have any?"
"No." he says.
Dang it!
After telling Frida that I could not find any eggs at the store, and the reason, she says my punishment for wearing anything besides white plaid that I would not be able to watch anything else besides Netflix, and I would not be able to play any video games for the rest of the day. After she tells me my punishment, she heads up to my room, stomping her feet on each step due to her grumpy attitude, and comes back out with my game consoles, and all my DVD's, and my DVD player. "This is going in my room. And if you try to steal it, more severe punishments will be given…"
After not being able to find anything I would want to watch on Netflix, I finally decided on Alpha and Omega. I notice the description changed in the process of finding the movie on here. And the description is… it is indescribable.
Should I watch this? I ask myself. But I press the play button anyway, and after waiting a few minutes for it to load, an error screen pops up. I was not able to read it anyway…
...because everything went dark, and in that moment, I fell unconscious, and disappeared from Earth.
