36. Sheriff Garrett

Chapter 35: Sheriff Garrett

Eventually, I found myself hanging out with Myron, and when I was hanging out with the guy, the experience that we were dealing with this day was able to bring me a lot closer to him and being able to appreciate him a lot more than I had been able to up until this point in time. In all reality, Myron had proved himself that he was a truly valuable asset with what he had done with me that day. Anyways, I think it is time to actually start telling the story right now, as it started right when I had pretty much woken up that day.

Well, Myron kind of woke me up since he was knocking right at my door and I was really annoyed and I was rolling the sleep out of my eyes and then I walked all the way down to the house door and then opened the door up and I was seeing Myron standing right there looking really worried for some reason. "Look, could you have waited until I was fully awake before you decided to just randomly knock on my door?" I was asking and there was a little bit of my annoyance coming through, but I was able to keep it in pretty well given the situation I would think.

"No I really could not have waited that long. You really need to see what I have seen lately." Myron said and then he was snapping his fingers a bit and then I rolled my eyes and made no effort in hiding it and then I walked all the way up to my bedroom and then grabbed my skateboard and then I walked on down to Myron and then I was giving him a look that made it very clear that I wanted this to actually be worth it. I have a feeling that this was going to be a waste of time, and I was really not wanting him to test my patience.

I closed the house door and then we were walking down for a while. "I saw the creek that I have heard about earlier. I think you might really want to see it for yourself." Myron had said and then when he had said that, I stopped and looked right at him. I was wondering how he had found out about the creek, and where this was actually going to go. "I think that what you will find at the creek might be very different from what you are used to by now." Afterwards, I started to get a little bit more serious and then we were walking down and I really wanted to know what Myron had known about the creek that he thinks I did not know of.

As we were heading on down to the creek, I said "I only have been there twice, so you might be as much as a novice there as I am to be honest. If you have only been there once." I said and I was scared of what I would see, and I was worried that this was going to result in us seeing Jason dead there or something like that.

"Trust me, this is really important." Myron kept saying as he was making more progress and as we were making progress down to the creek. I was thinking that this better be worth the distraction and time that he was taking out of my time. I felt like if Dana and Kevin or somebody else wanted to talk to me, that that they were going to have to wait just because of what Myron was wanting to show me about a place I already had known about.

Eventually, we had reached what was close to the front entrance of the creek and then as we were getting inside of the creek, I was thinking that what Myron was showing me actually probably did have some purpose after all. This situation that we were in was actually a lot more scary than I would have thought that it could have possibly been. There was Jason and about three other kids there, none of which I have seen, and they seemed to have been fighting some sort of monsters and stuff.

The monsters were really building up on the kids and I was not really sure what to do at that moment. I was thinking that the only thing I can use was a bunch of rocks or something like that. I grabbed the biggest stone I can hold and throw and then I threw the stone at one of the monsters and then the monster had hit the ground and there was blood coming right out of their neck. There was a couple of monsters that were still around, but perhaps I can go along better saying that I did do my part of the job at the very least. Jason had something that looked like a gun and I could not believe that he had a gun, but I thought that if there was a good time to use it, now would be that time more than ever.

Jason shot down the monster that was right in front of him and then the monster fell down on the ground and they were dead as well. There was one more monster that needed to be defeated. The monster grabbed a younger teenage male, probably fourteen or so. They bit his neck and he fell down and he stabbed the monster as he went down to the ground. The blood was so bad that I knew right then and there that there was no way he was going to make it.

Myron ran and grabbed the knife and then threw it right at the kid who was closest to the monster and then the kid stabbed the monster several times. They were destroyed, and then everybody looked around and then Jason looked at Myron and I and went up to us glad to see us and glad to see that we did our part in helping out.

"If you didn't come and help us at that moment, then we probably would have all died. I guess the creek really is not as safe as I really thought it would have been. I thought that this creek is the safest place in the entire city, but I guess that is no longer the truth." Jason said and then he walked up to the body of the fallen comrade. "Tristan seemed like he had potential. I guess that his knife was useful after all." Jason said as he was looking at Myron, doing his best to have at least some form of comedy to the whole sad moment and then he rubbed his eyes saying "I am just glad that he has left his family behind, so that way they wouldn't have to know what the hell just happened." Jason then grabbed Tristan's body and then I started to follow him for a bit.

"When did Myron find the creek for the first time?" I was asking and I know that it was a bad time to be asking all of these questions considering the fact that the guy who was leading the creek was basically burying a dead boy, but at the same time I just needed to know this for myself.

"He found the creek last night. He said he lost something and then he found this place by mistake. I don't really know how to help him find what he lost, but I guess that doesn't really matter as much anymore right now." Jason said and then Myron was thinking about how pointless it would be to even try and find his missing object anymore, and he was not really even going to try and argue the fact that there was virtually no point to it anymore.

Jason then placed Tristan down on the ground, and then he looked at the ground that he was going to have to dig up. Thankfully there was some random shovel in the area and then he grabbed the shovel and then he started to dig up the ground and I was just watching as the guy was ready to place him inside of the ground. I never even knew the guy, and I still felt sad for the fact that he had died in such a brutal and sudden way.

Then Jason dug up enough for the ground to place Tristan in there, and then he put him in the ground and then he placed the dirt on top of him again and then afterwards he looked at the group and he was ready to do a funeral service for the guy, and I decided that I was going to be respectful about it and not say anything until the funeral was over, and that I was going to let Jason and the others do the job for me, since I knew nothing about him.

"I only knew this young man for a few days, and I was really sure that he was actually going to do a great job helping out the creek and get it all going up and running again. But now he is here, and everything that I thought he could have done is now in the past once more again. I am going to make sure his death wasn't invain, and that he actually lost his life for a good purpose. He tried to fight the monsters, and we are going to make sure that these monsters are going to die and never come along to the creek again. We need to bring back the creek, and make it our territory again." Jason said and then he grabbed a stick and then he stabbed the stick right to the ground and then he was doing this as a way to have at least some form of memorial for Tristan, and I just remained silent as much as possible.

"This may be the first casualty in making the creek great again, and I will do my damn best to make sure that he is the last one that we will have to face. He did not deserve what had happened to him, and none of the others who might die deserve it as well. None of you deserve it, and the creek does not deserve it. We are going to make the monsters see that the creek is the best place in all of Wayside and we are going to make this place safe for people to come by and we are going to make the monsters feel like they are the ones who need to fear something rather than the humans being the ones who need to fear." Jason said and then after he was saying this, he balled his fist up a bit and then he was looking right at us and he was wondering what we had thought of what he was saying.

Jason looked down at the grave and he was thinking about what he was going to say next, and then he looked right back up at us and he was ready to continue once more.

"The monsters feel like they own Wayside, and I can assure you that they indeed do not own Wayside. We own the city, and they are going to regret ever thinking for a minute that they own it. If the monsters don't return to where they are from, we are just going to kill them." Jason said and then he was done and he was starting to walk off and I looked at Myron.

"This is one hell of a way to start a day off. It is strange, but it is still more exciting than staying home I guess." I said and then I started to get ready to see what I can do in order to help out the creek, and if I can fight more monsters yet again.

"Myron, what the hell are we going to do now?" I asked and I was just really wishing that I was finally able to get one fucking day without monsters coming along, and here I was, having to fight them all over again. In all reality, fighting monsters were getting a little bit old by this point in time. "I just wish that these monsters would finally be able to leave me alone for once. I was trying to sleep in and then you decided that I needed to fight more monsters yet again." I said and then Myron looked right at me and then he seemed like he was thinking about that, how these monsters were already out of his league and he had only been doing this for like a couple of minutes.

"I think we are just going to wait around and see what perhaps Jason wants us to do. I have nothing else to suggest." Then Myron sat down and I sat down next to him as we were looking forward and then I laid myself back and then Myron laid back as well. "Hey Todd, do you actually know what there is that we can do right now?" Myron asked and then I shrugged and then I placed my hands behind my back.

It was a little nice just talking with Myron that had nothing to do with him trying to be class president. I wonder if all of this monster stuff got him back into reality just for a little bit, but then I was thinking that in a day or two from now, we were going to have to start listening to him talking over and over and over again about him being class president, but I was just taking it in for a moment as some form of blessing that he was not going all over the place about it.

"I am just a little bit unsure why these monsters want anything to do with the creek right now. The creek just seems like the strangest place to attack, in my personal opinion. There was nothing really strange about the creek, and I don't really understand if there is any real purpose to any of this now." I said and then I was thinking about what Myron was going to do if the monsters came up. I was not really sure if Myron was going to be able to actually fight these monsters after all, and I was thinking it would be a terrible idea for him to.

"You need to fight the monsters off for me. I don't really think that I would really have the courage to fight these monsters. The whole thing is still pretty strange to me, and in all honesty monsters are just really scary." Myron said and then when he had said that, I was looking around at Jason and the other two people wandering around, and they took no time to actually talk to us at all, and I was honestly kind of fine that they were doing this.

"I understand that these monsters are probably really scary. I do not really blame you for feeling that way at all. But in case if I don't know how to defeat these monsters, then you need to help step up a bit and you need to be a person who is able to help fight the monsters just in case. I don't think that you absolutely need to fight, but I think that you should be ready just in case something like that does happen." I said and then after I told Myron that, I was hoping that he didn't think too much about what I was saying. In all reality, I was just wanting him to help me, and I was thinking that he was the only one who hasn't been too affected by the monsters so far, and that was why I wanted him to help out more than ever.

"Yeah, I guess that does make enough sense right now. I just don't really want to fight any monsters, and while I don't want to fight them, I do understand that I might have to fight them. But who really cares right now? I am just going to focus on the right now, and that is all I can say I will be able to do at this moment." Myron said and then the two of us remained quiet for a little bit and then he stood up and then I stood up as well.

"What are you planning on doing right now?" I asked and then after I asked that, Myron looked at me and he was saying that he was thinking that he was seeing something that he needed to check out. I was wondering if this was related to any of the monsters or the thing he had lost, so I was going to follow along and see if perhaps this actually was something he was seeing or if he was going insane.

We walked outside of the entrance of the creek and as I was looking around, I felt a little bit of a sinister feeling. I was not really sure why I was feeling the sinister feeling. But there was a part of me that realized that this had nothing to do with monsters. I felt like this was entirely related to the people in the city, and that there was just something evil about them.

"Myron, I have a feeling that we need to check something out right now." I said and then I was holding the skateboard and then Myron was wondering what the hell I was talking about, but at the same time he was seeing from the look on my face that this was actually something I was one hundred percent meaning and then we started to go along and we eventually left the forest. I placed the board on the ground and I was skating lightly so Myron can keep up.

Eventually, I had made it to the police station where Myron was wondering what exactly I was actually doing at that moment. As I was at the front of the police station, I looked right at Myron and I was ready to start to give him the plan that I was going to go through. "First, we are going to tell the police sheriff about the monsters. I hate the fact that I am doing this right now, but I feel like it is better to have somebody at my side. Maybe they're just as corrupt as I fear they would be, but I am going to give them a chance ti proof themselves." I said as Myron was staring and he was thinking that this was going to be a really dangerous idea. Then we walked on inside of the police station and then I started to walk into one of the rooms.

The guy in the station was sitting down and he was looking like he was in the middle of a really lit nap. I sat down and Myron was sitting down as well and he was really just wanting to remain silent and let me take care of this whole thing. After a while, the guy looked up and he was trying to get back to being fully awake. "Bro, you could have knocked before you came in. Do you just barge into every room that you go into?" The police officer asked and I was examining him a bit. He was looking like he was only like twenty one or something like that, and that he had only been in the job for a couple of weeks. I could tell from the smell that he probably forgot to have a shower that day.

"I was just wanting to talk to you about some things that have been going on in town lately. There have been a lot of events lately that make me think that this town is unsafe." I said and then after I said that, the guy rubbed his eyes a bit and then he looked at me a bit nonchalant.

"What is it that makes you think that this town is not safe anymore?" The guy asked and he was in a combination of showing he didn't give a shit and trying to pretend like he gave a shit since this was his job, and then afterwards, I started to take the risk since I thought that there maybe could have been like a ten percent chance that he would have taken me seriously.

"By the way, there's monsters. They have been in this town for a really long time. I have been fighting these things for like since I have shown up at Wayside. I am getting really sick and tired of fighting these all, and I feel like I just need some help right now. I don't think you are probably going to believe me or not, but I want you to give me a chance to show that I am telling the truth." I said and then I saw as the guy was just trying hard not to laugh at me for what I was saying.

"I am only going to take your compliant since I have to. What evidence do you guys have of these monsters being around here at all?" The guy asked and then I told him about some of the things that I saw at the creek as well as all of the monsters and attacks that have been going around in town. As I had been telling him this, he seemed to be taking me a little bit more serious the more that he heard me. As if this was actually starting to make some form of sense.

"Do you know where this creek actually is?" He asked me and then I nodded. Myron was wondering why I was telling him this, and he was thinking that it was a terrible idea for me to show him all of this stuff. He then stood up and then he was placing the walkie talkie on his belt and then he was placing a gun in his holster and his knife in his pocket. Then he put in a pack of cigarettes inside of his pocket and then we all walked outside of the room.

We were outside and we both went inside of his back seat and then he was driving to the forest and once we were outside of the car, we went to the forest. The three of us were walking along and then after a while, we were down to the entrance of the creek. "There are a few people here, just going around. There might be a couple of monsters there, with their bodies on the ground, just in case if you don't believe us right away." I said and then he looked at me as if trying to decide if he was going to call this a huge fraud or not.

Once inside of the creek, the guy was looking around and at first it seemed like I was actually lying to him. There was just a few people wandering around and trying to get themselves to be a relatively positive attitude over what had just happened, which they knew that it was impossible to get in a good mood, but they were just trying to pretend as if they were.

Then there was something that started to give away the looks of the monsters that were here. The three of us started to walk closer to there and then the police officer grabbed the claw that was on the ground and then he held up the claw. He was staring at it for a moment and then he looked right at Myron and I. "Let's go back to the office. I think that you might be telling the truth. I think that you should be given a chance to talk to the sheriff and perhaps they will listen to you." He said and then the three of us left the creek with the claw inside of the officers hand.

The three of us were driving on towards the police station. "I still don't know what to think about what you are telling me. These monsters just seem really strange to me. I mean I can't really deny what you have shown me, as there is literal evidence of these monsters being real. But I guess that I just want to get some more information right now." The police officer said as he would glance at the claw once every ten seconds or so and then he would grab the claw and then he placed the claw right in the coffee holster. Then he was smoking one of his cigarettes and as we were driving along, I was thinking about what to say.

"I know that this must be really hard to believe. I didn't really believe or understand it all at first when I first saw this, but these things are indeed real. I can't deny that the monsters are real with how much we have been fighting them lately. I want to get some help with fighting them. I doubt that just one police officer will really change everything, but I just need to have some assistance on this whole thing." I said and then I was just wondering if I was going to be able to get more people to help me out here, or if I was just destined to only do this with some of my friends.

I was also thinking about how terrible I must have looked when I was inside of a car with Myron at that moment. I was thinking that if anybody who went to school with us saw us, they would probably think that we had killed somebody or something like that. I was thinking that I needed to try and justify myself soon since I was probably going to get talked to by all the students the next day at school, as there will probably be rumors about me as well.

"I don't want you to be fighting any more of these monsters. I want you to go home. I want you to just pretend that none of this had ever happened and I want you guys to try and pretend that you have a normal life." The police officer said and I was not sure if I can really handle this at all, and I was thinking that he knew I couldn't really do this.

"I don't really think that this is going to be possible. Trust me, I have tried really hard to live a normal life. I can't really do it, because I won't really ever get the chance to do so. I get like one day or maybe two if I was lucky, and then I would have to fight them all over again. It is kind of annoying, but that is just how my life has become." I said and then the police officer pulled up at the station and then he looked right at me as he stubbed the cigarette on the window of the car and the look on his face was almost scarier than the look on any monster.

"I am giving you a fucking order boy. You do not defy me. I and the others are going to take care of these monsters. Go home once this interview is over, and just pretend like this never fucking happened. I am not going to fuck with you anymore." He said and I was realizing that this guy can mess with my life even more than the monsters can. Monsters were just creatures, and I can never get in trouble from those. This was a human being. He had more methods, and if something happened to him, I sure as hell bet I would get in trouble with the law for it.

"Fine, I will do as you want. I will try to." I said and I was just not really sure if I can not fight these monsters since these monsters are just everywhere and I am going to probably fight them all over and over again. There was no way that I can go more than a couple of days without fighting them.

"You better hold to your end of the promise, and if you don't, I will tell your parents about every fucking thing that you have ever done." The police officer said and then he grabbed the claw as hard as possible. He went out of the car and slammed the door shut and then I looked at Myron. I was starting to think that this was a fucking mistake as I went outside of the car and then I closed the door in a less forced way than the officer sand then I made sure I was having my board before I did so and then Myron went out of the car as well.

We were inside of the station and then we were walking right towards the sheriffs office. As we were doing so, I could tell that the other officers were getting a little bit worried over what was going on, as if they knew that things were starting to get much more serious and then we went right inside of the sheriffs office and then we were all inside of his room as I looked at the totally covered tables with one glass of whiskey on there.

"These two have something that they have to show you." The officer said and then he slammed the claw right down onto the table as he showed his hands out to show how annoyed he was. Then he walked to the door of the room and then he started to get a bit more of a smug look on his face. I then looked at the sheriff as well and then he was looking at the claw. Then he stared at me and Myron as if we had destroyed the world.

"Tell me every single thing that you know about this. I need you to be totally honest with me, and I don't want you to hold back on a single detail. If I am to understand what you are showing me, I need the honesty, and I will give you whatever I can to make sure that everything will be alright." The police sheriff said and then I was thinking about where to start this, and the young man who was standing behind us was giving us a glare that was showing he was still expecting us to follow through with our promise on not continuing the monster hunt once we leave this place.

"Well, there are these things called monsters. They have been around town for a while, and I have been basically fighting them the entire time that I have been in this town. I have no idea what the hell I am supposed to do against these monsters, but I have just been fighting them as much as I can to try and keep the town safe. You know, I am just trying to be at least a fighter in order to help make this city safe for all of us." I said and there was a little bit of a attitude that I placed in there, to show that I was annoyed that they have not been doing this now. Why I have been doing more to help the world than anybody else.

"I thank you for helping out. But I need to know more about these monsters. I also want to know that you can promise me that nothing we are talking about here will be leaving this room. The four of us should be the only ones who learn of this conversation, and that if you tell anybody else about what we are discussing, then things are going to be far less pleasant for you." The police sheriff said and I nodded sort of believing him, but I felt like my friends did need to know a little bit.

"These monsters are really powerful, and I have been almost killed by them every single time that I have fought them. But there is nobody who is really helping me out, so I have nothing to do besides just fight them and hope that eventually, I can get somebody to help me out." I said and then I was starting to feel a little bit more secure talking to this guy, albeit not by much.

"If you are able to fight these monsters, I want to know how you can actually do so. I need you to let me know how this is something you can do. So that way we can be able to fight them off ourselves." The police sheriff said and then I nodded and I was thinking about it. I really did not have any idea how I was able to do all of this, as it was mostly sheer and blind luck more than anything else, but I didn't want to say that.

"To be honest with you, the fact that I am alive is more of a miracle than out of anything else. There is no real reason that I should even be alive at all right now. But I guess that I just have to be thankful for the fact that I am not dead, but at the same time I can't really explain to you how it has all been done. I just have been skating a lot lately, and every time I skate, I get faster and I just simply use whatever is in the area in order to fight the monsters." I said and then I was hoping that the police sheriff was going to be fine with that answer.

"God damn it, I would have really wished that you would have had a better answer for me, but if you are honestly thinking that you don't have one, I guess I can't get too rough with you about this. I just wish that I knew what I was going to be heading into before I actually did something." The police sheriff said and then he was rubbing his eyes a bit and then he looked right at me and then he just had a really short glance with Myron. He must have known that Myron was mostly innocent on this whole thing, so he was not even going to bother with him for the time being.

"Look, I think that you just need to fight the monsters with whatever you have and soon enough you will be able to actually have a chance on killing these things. That is all I can really say to it." I said and then I was placing my head on the desk as the young officer was taking out another cigarette and he was smoking it, without the sheriff even giving it a second look as he opened the window and did nothing else to fight the smell in any way.

"I was sort of forced to be like this chosen one, and I have been just fighting the monsters as much as I am able to. That is all I can really say about the matter. You know what it is like for me to just be told that there are monsters and then I am forced to pretty much fight them all? It is really fucking annoying. I'm sorry if you don't like me using any language, but I don't care. I am just tired of it all." I said and then I was really letting out the anger in my voice.

"I am sorry kid, but you seem to have more experience than me on this. I don't want you fighting the monsters anymore, but while you are here, I want you to give me clues on how to fight them so I can take over the battle for you. What monsters have you seen?" The police sheriff questioned as he was thinking of ways he can use the monsters for power in his favor.

"They have been all over the place. Some of which looked like a werewolf or something like that, and some others were just stuff like snakes. There is nothing even remotely showing something that would be considered consistency. I understand that monsters are like really confusing to accept, I should know since I am having a hard time getting used to them as well, but they are what I have to deal with from here on out. Besides, I am just trying to be calm with you right now. There are probably monsters out at the creek right now, and probably fighting some people down at the creek, and there is nothing that I can do about it as long as you are asking me all of these questions." I said and then I was tired of this interview, and then the police sheriff got closer to looking right at me and he was wondering what I was meaning by the creek.

"It is in this place inside of the town forest, and it is covered by place that looks like a sewer entrance. I had been there a couple of times, and I showed your other police officer this creek. He was only in there for about a minute or so before he found this claw, and decided to bring it to this office for you to see. I don't really understand the creek all that much, but what can I really say to it besides that." I said and then I placed my hands on the table and then Myron was wondering if I was pushing my luck or not.

"I guess that if you don't really know how it all works, then I guess that I will just have to go down there. We will go there right away. I think that we should bring you home soon, but I am also wondering on if you are actually going to keep your promise of not fighting any more of these monsters." After the police sheriff had said that, I was thinking about that for a few seconds.

"I am not going to pursue them actively. But if the monsters come to me, and I will fight them myself. But that is only when they come right at my direction. That is the best that I am going to be able to promise you. Nothing more, but hopefully nothing really less as well." I said and then I saw the young officer just standing there, trying to see if I was still going along with the truth or not.

"I guess that this is the best that I am going to go with for now. I mean, if the monsters attack you, then you have every right to actually fight back then. But until then, just try and live a normal life. I know that this might be hard, so I am just wanting you to at the very least try to do this." The police sheriff said and then he was placing the claw inside of a cupboard and then he was getting more focused on me once again.

"Are you going to tell the public about this, or are you going to be lying about this to make them thing that things are still just normal?" I asked, hoping that it was both answers. I hoped that he was going to tell me that he would tell the people the truth so that way they would actually be prepared for what would happen in the future, but at the same time I had wanted him to talk to them like nothing was wrong to give them a false sense of hope. I wanted both ends of the coin so badly that I was not really even sure which one I wanted more out of the two.

"I think that depending on how big this whole thing gets, I might eventually tell the truth. But for the time being, I am going to keep this closed. I don't want them to get too worried about is going on. I think you might be able to understand why I am feeling that way. But I just don't really know what to do, when I have just barely found out about this as well." The sheriff said and then before I can argue with him, I was about to try and say something, but then I was forced to resign myself and recognize that he was indeed right about this.

"I guess I can see where you are coming from. In all honesty, I was fine with either answer, and I would not really even be sure myself which one I would have wanted you to give me more. I just am terribly sad that this is even the debate that we are having." I was saying and then the police sheriff said as he was saying the simple reply.

"I will give you one thing, you do seem really mature for your age. I am guessing that this is a response to everything that you have been exposed to lately. I don't want to know what you think about me, and honestly I don't really care all that much. I have a job to do, and I just need to get to know more about these monsters. Please, try and tell me every single thing that you know about this." The police sheriff said and then Myron said the first thing in the entire interview.

"I found a tree about two miles away from where the town exit is, and I didn't really see too much about it, but I do think that there was a bunch of carvings on the tree that might be able to give out some details on what the monsters are like. I never thought about it until just now." Myron said and then the police sheriff thought about that for a moment and then he stood up as he was thinking about what to go with and he was thinking that perhaps Myron was onto something there.

"I think we should drive there and see what is etched onto the tree." The police sheriff said and then all of us were now standing, as the young officer was raising his hand and he was thinking that now it was finally time for him to raise his opposition to what has been happening, and he was mainly doing it as a way to get us out of the area for good. "What are you wanting to say?" The police sheriff asked and he was trying to not get annoyed, but he was not really doing all that good of a job at it.

"I don't really think that we should bring these kids with us. They might get us in trouble. I think that they just don't really have a clue what they are doing, and that they should just remain at home and just try to live a normal life. I mean, they have already given us enough information. They shouldn't be forced to continue this whole investigation anymore." The younger officer said as he was holding his left hand forward, and that was when I saw for the first time the hand cast that he had. He must have fucked up his hand at some point, and refused to take any recovery time to make it better. The police sheriff looked right at the younger officer and then all four of us could tell that he was trying to find a way to not get annoyed at the young man talking back to him.

"They are the ones who told us about the tree. They have all right to see what the tree is like. Once we find the tree, then we might bring them back home. But until then, they are going to be with us, and you are not going to argue with me about this anymore." The police sheriff said and then the younger officer looked at us with malice in his eyes as he placed his hands inside of his pocket, and I was starting to think that perhaps he was going to be a bigger threat to us than even the monsters would have been.

Afterwards, we walked on out of the room and then we left the station. When all four of us were walking out of the station, I could see all of the officers looking at us and I could tell that they were really confused at what was happening, trying to figure out what we were going to be investigating.

Then we went inside of the car and the police sheriff started the car and then he was slowly driving off as the younger officer put in yet another cigarette, to make it the third one that we had been seeing him smoke just within the course of about forty minutes or so, and I was wondering how the feeling did not get him sick yet, but I decided to remain quiet, to not piss him off anymore. Then eventually, we were well on the track down to the tree.

As we were driving down to the tree, the police sheriff did not say a single word nor did the younger officer. I looked at Myron and I was wondering what I can say to him without having one of the two officers, if not both of them, at our ass trying to get to know what we were talking about. It was not really anything that I was wanting to deal with, but there was just me trying to be realistic with this whole thing. "So Myron, how exactly did you figure out everything with the tree? I saw the tree when I was finally getting inside of the town, but at the same time I never really thought about it and I thought that it was just a tree that was alone." I said and then I felt dumb describing it this way, but then I didn't get a real chance to beat myself up over it as Myron just explained it to me in a real simple way.

"Well I was just thinking about places in town that were really strange, and that was the first thing that came up to me. I hope that you don't really make all that big of a deal about it. I was just trying to help. Besides, I think that you have already done enough to help out everybody. I felt like I just needed to do something to make up for the fact that I haven't done all that much." Myron said and then afterwards, I just remained quiet to think about that for a few seconds.

I felt like I have indeed contributed enough to justify my spot in the group, but at the same time I was not really sure if I should have done even more but then before that was able to really be my next thought set, the car was sounding like it was ready to park.

After the car had parked, all four of us got out nearly at the same time, just within a couple of seconds of each other as the cigarette was finished and the younger officer stomped it on the ground and then I saw that we were only about ten yard away from the tree. I realized that this was closest I have gone to leaving Wayside ever since I had arrived at this school district and then we started to go closer to the tree.

While we were standing there and waiting for the two officers to finally finish their investigation, I was looking right at Myron and then I said "So how many people do you think might know about us getting sent to deal with the police? I think that we might get some rumors about this for us for the next few days." I then wondered how Myron might react to that.

"Well maybe people might think it is cool enough that they might finally let me get voted in for class president." Myron said and then I wanted to punch the asshole in the face for bringing that up. I thought he had finally dropped that subject for good, and then there he was bringing this up again. He could see from the look on my face that I was not really pleased with the fact that he had brought that up and then he decided that he needed to retract for a bit and then he said "Well, I meant to say that they might be asking us what we are doing, and they might be thinking that we might be like these rebels." Then when he said that, I was still looking at him but I decided to drop the subject and then I was looking right at the two officers again.

As we were watching, I could see the two officers talking for a while and then I could see that the younger one was using his arm movements to show his expression and how tired he was of this bullshit while the sheriff was able to keep his composure but I can hear from the tone of his voice that he was clearly trying to keep his calm as well, and I was watching the entrance or exit of the town and saw that barely anybody was either entering or leaving, and that was when I was starting to realize that I barely ever really say anybody go inside or outside of the town the entire time that I had been here, which made me wonder how there could have been so many people who lived in the town.

Then when they had been done talking with each other, the younger officer pounded his fist against the tree a couple of times, and I was wondering why he did that as there was a small creaking noise coming out from the tree. Then he pulled out his walkie talkie and then he started to speak into it.

"We need to get more officers here. It seems like there may be something under here." Then after he said that, he was looking at the two of us and then that was when I was thinking about what the heck was going on, and if I found some form of a fake tree. Then I brought up what I forgot to mention earlier.

"I mentioned the forest earlier, but I also saw a cave in the town as well. I also think that you should also look into the android creation facility. I think that there are a few things that you might need to look into once you check them out. Those will probably be really important for any investigation going on." I said and then both of the officers considered these two points, as if they couldn't believe they had not pieced it together quite yet.

"I was originally going to try and destroy the cave, but then I just ran out of there after another monster attack and I totally forgot about it. You need to destroy that thing, before anything else can use it." I said, forgetting about the armor that I had started to create, but I was also thinking that maybe it didn't really need to be made anymore, as much as I had hated to admit that. The sheriff was thinking about that and then he nodded as he turned around to the younger officer and this time they were not really trying to hide what the hell the were saying anymore.

"We need to bring the dynamite inside of that cave and destroy it. I want to have a piece placed at each possibly part of the cave so that way the cave can be destroyed." The sheriff said and then he looked right up at Myron and I again and then he was thinking about what we should be doing again. "Thank you for the information you have given to us." The sheriff just left it at that and the the two officers were starting to get closer to the car again and then I looked at Myron.

"No wonder why you keep missing school all the time. You have to deal with all of the crazy stuff that nobody should even be getting close to dealing with." Myron said and then I thought about that. In all reality, I really didn't need to deal with all of this stuff, but at the same time, I was thinking that there might be more to it than just that. "Do you think that you might be going to school more often now that you have promised to not continue all of this monster fighting now?" Myron asked and then I nodded.

"Yeah, there is no real need for me to skip anymore. I just hope that these monsters can actually be easily defeated by the police. Either way, I am kind of wanting to get back into a normal life, so I guess that perhaps this is something I should have done earlier. But when I go back to school, it might be a little bit hard for me to get back into the swing of things at first given all that has happened so far." I said and then Myron nodded, thinking that this had made sense.

"I guess that perhaps school life might not really feel normal at first. If anything, school life may feel the one that is totally out of place at least initially." Myron said and I was glad that Myron was talking with me. He was a good guy, or at least when he was not talking all about the fucking class president stuff. But then when he brings that shit up, that was when I started to get a little bit more strained with my opinion of him.

I was thinking about what was exactly happened, and I was thinking that all of this had finally been a part of normal life, before I actually finally decided to try and help others out by this fucking report to the police station. Now there was a part of me that was starting to regret the whole letting them know what is going on, as there is a large part of me that feels as if they were just going to take all of this information and then find a way to take the credit for what happened and then be considered the big damn heroes of the fucking city.

I had no idea why this was really bothering me so much, but we just went inside of the police car and then the police sheriff was just looking at us and then he said one more time to get the point annoying across to everybody. "You better not tell anybody what the hell is happening, and if you do, I am going to remember what you are doing and that I will not let your life be very easy because you have no right to scare the city about the monsters." The police sheriff said and then he was just leaving it at that and I rolled my eyes to prove that I got it.

"Yes, I understand that you don't want me to tell a single person what the hell happened. I just want to actually know that you have the intention of fighting these monsters and taking them out, because if you do not, then I might actually have to break the promise that I made to you and I think I might actually have to track them down for you, since I think that you might not really know how to defeat the monsters." I said and then I placed my hands on my face and then I was starting to close my eyes in annoyance.

"You made a promise to us that you are not going to get in the monster hunting anymore, and here you are, telling me that you might start doing it again. Why the hell are you not going to follow your promise anymore? I have no real reason to have a trust in you given what is happening. I am going to give you a chance to show me that you are telling the truth, since I don't want to act like somebody doesn't have any credibility over what is happening." The police sheriff said and then I was thinking about if this guy was going to be my next rival more so than the monsters.

"Sorry, I won't make the threat again. I promise that I will never even suggest the idea a second time anymore." I said and then after I had told him that, the two of us were in a sort of staring contest with each other, and then afterwards, he started to look back at the window in front of us and he was getting back into the driving once again.

Eventually, the four of us parked in front of the place that looked like the cave that we were walking by earlier, and then we were seeing a bunch of police officers in the area and then the sheriff was looking around and he was seeing just how many sticks of dynamite that were in the area to throw in the cave to blow them all up for good. "We do not want even a small amount of evidence of this cave being here, and I mean that this is going to all go down to kingdom come." The police sheriff said and then after he was saying this, the three of us were getting a little bit worried on if this was actually going to go the way he plans. The three of us meaning me, Myron as well as the younger officer.

We were watching as a couple of the officers in the station grabbed two or three sticks in each hand and then placing them inside of the cave throughout a bunch of different places. The police sheriff just stood there watching the dynamite getting placed, and I was starting to actually think that maybe there was a chance this can work out with how much dynamite that was being placed in there.

"So if this fails, what do you think we are going to do next?" The younger officer asked as he rubbed his face again with the hand that had the cast on it. He was clearly not caring about how much he was probably agitating his hands every single time that this was happening. Then he placed his hand down and then the actual police sheriff was looking around and then he looking inside of his car and then he was quieting talking to himself.

"Where the fuck is my matchbox? I thought that I would have brought that here with us. God fucking damn it." He said and then the younger officer brought the lighter out to him and then he was clearly seeing what the police sheriff was trying to do, so he was just sparing him the time that he was going to waste looking around and just have the job get taken care of right away. Afterwards, he was watching as every officer had left the station and then there was one final stick of dynamite that was placed just before the entrance of the cave.

Then the police sheriff placed he lighters flame right at the tip of the dynamite and he had a few seconds to get out of the way, so he was running as fast as he humanly possibly could and then the place started to blow up and the cave explosions were going on for like three or four minutes and it was bringing down not only the cave but everything else that was around the cave. It was kind of amazing to watch all of this happen with how it was to see mass destruction happen.

After the explosions were over with, the sheriff looked right at me and then us and then after he had done so, he was giving the lighter right back to the younger officer and then he said "I guess that the cave is taken care of. I want the other officers to go around and clean up this mess that has been created. You guys follow me, we have some more work that we have to do. From what I remember, you were telling me about the android building." The police sheriff got right inside of the car and then the younger officer pulled out yet another cigarette and started to smoke it. By this point I was so immune to the sight of him smoking that I just didn't even care what he was doing.

We were driving for a while, and I was thinking if Devon even remembered that I was even a person at all, and if he remembered all of those crazy offers that he had made to me with Jenny in the area, acting like this was a great idea for us to actually go and have some androids of us created. I was just thinking on if the entire business had been expanding or not, and the idea of the business expanding had scared me a little bit.

I still couldn't really believe that all of these androids were becoming a thing at all. I was scared on what would happen if the androids actually started to get more of a personality and that very idea had scared me so much, that I wanted to actually kill them all out of nothing else just to make sure that these things would not come along and become just as dangerous, if not even more dangerous than the monsters had actually been.

As we were driving Myron said something really calm but still getting the point across. "I think we are really playing with death right now." Myron left it at that and I was obviously trying to hide how obvious that was, but I was still not able to blame Myron for feeling this way due to the fact that this whole thing really probably was just a lot of material for him to take. I did not really understand why we were going through this, or how the monsters had actually still been able to make as much of a impact as they had, but it still really got to me.

Eventually, we were right at the entrance of the pyramid that was showing the house of the androids being born. I then sighed and I hated the idea of going in there again as I knew every single detail about this place and I was not really sure if I wanted to meet that subtle monster Devon ever again. Besides, I was just a teenage boy. There was no way I can take him on if they decided to fight with me.

We were outside of the car and then we went on inside of it and then the sheriff was just thinking about what he was going to do now. He had heard some of the stories about Devon, and he was not really sure if he was going to believe what he had been seeing or hearing, but he was deciding that he was going to give this a chance. So he opened the door and then once the door was opened, we were all inside of it and then I saw that there was some really strange things going on in there. As if we were actually seeing a bunch of androids walking around in the room, socializing, as if they were actually forming a life with the other androids that were in there. Devon was just walking around, talking with them, as if he was actually really giving a fuck what they were saying.

I walked up to the man and then I saw the police sheriff get right in front of him. "You know, I have been hearing some things about this place. But that is not really what I am looking into right now. I am trying to figure out some other things. Such as if you have any knowledge of these monsters in the city, or if you just are as oblivious as the general public is." The police sheriff said and then he pulled something out of his pocket. It was a small set of yellow legal paper and he was pulling a pen as well, to start to take some notes.

"Yes, I know a lot about these monsters. In fact, you can say a part of my creation and will to create even more of these are due to me actually wanting to help out make these monsters die. These androids have extra strength, and I am sure that the monsters will die when they face androids." Devon said and he was giving off just a convincing enough statement that the police sheriff was not really sure if he was supposed to believe in him or if this guy was actually lying or not.

"Do you know what you plan to do with these androids if they actually help destroy these monsters? Will you stop this terrible business, or will you still keep this up and try to come off as a big freedom fighter?" The police sheriff was starting to really show his disdain for the idea and I was thinking that if nothing else, this guy did have a decent amount of courage.

"I think that we should discuss some business with that. I do plan to continue building these things, and I will only stop if I fucking die before they are finished being built. But I think that they deserve to have freedom. They have a limited life span. Only seven years. I think that if they defeat some monsters, they should be allowed to live and act like they have a family for those seven years. As an experiment you know." Devon said and then he placed his hand on the sheriff's shoulder as the younger officer popped a pimple on his face while taking out another cigarette.

"What are you wanting to offer to me?" The police sheriff asked as if he was going to decide if this was actually a smart idea to try and indulge Devon for a bit, and then he was laughing and then Devon decided that he was going to do his damn best to explain everything that was a part of his plan.

"Look, these people don't have that long to live. Only seven years. In fact, I have already placed a couple of them inside of the city when I found out that some people were having trouble having kids. Of course I would let them know of the seven year thing. They said they would rather have a child who only lived seven years over no child at all. That is their choice. I have a business offer to make you. I want to help your town. If you let the androids live here after they defeat at least one monster all on their own, then I will not do any more illegal work. I will even admit to the work that I have done. These men and women are my children, and I want them to have a chance to live life. I am wanting them to live a life that they should be able to live in seven years. The only way anybody can tell they are a android is when they die seven years to the day after they have moved to this city." Devon explained and then he was sitting down on the one chair in the room that is nearby and then the police sheriff was thinking about this for a bit.

"How do I know that you will actually tell me your work? How will I know that these androids will have defeated monsters? How do I even know which ones are androids and which ones are not?" The police sheriff asked and then Devon nodded and gave a short explanation to it all.

"Honestly, for each of my androids that get their freedom, I will tell you one thing that relates to the creation of that android specifically. I will let you know they have defeated monsters by placing a red collar around their neck, and once the monster is destroyed, the collar will disappear. That is the only way it can go. If they do not have a monster destroyed after six weeks of being in the city, they can be considered illegal, and they might be dangerous by that point, and you can track them down and kill them. I won't even complain. And that goes to the third answer, you know these are androids with the red collar around their neck." Devon said and then he was finished with it after that.

Afterwards, the sheriff was thinking about it and then he was going to ask a couple of more questions before he would agree or deny what the offers being given were.

"How do I know that these androids will not become people who commit crimes and ruin the lives of all of the actual people that actually live in this city? I will not compromise the actual people from this city just because of you wanting to have these unreal androids have a so called chance to have a fake life. This is a idea that I am really having a hard time believing." The police sheriff said, not really sure if this was making Devon see his point.

"I think that some of them might get into crime and create some problems. But some might just be perfectly fine. I think that they will act just like normal humans, and the stuff they go through will actually be what you will be expecting." Devon answered and then he had said "You know, just like how normal humans act like. If real humans are like that, then spare me the fucking lecture on how my androids should be like."

"You know, I don't really like the idea of this happening. But at the same time, I would be dumb to deny the good points to this idea. I might have to give this a chance." The police sheriff as the younger officer got wide eyed, as if he could not believe for a second that he had actually heard the man say that this was a good idea. "But if I do this, we will only be starting with just one android, just to see if what you are telling me is actually true."

Devon was placing his finger son his chin and then he was slowly nodding as he was hearing this. Then he clapped his hands a couple of times and then with his right hand he held it out for the man to shake it. The police sheriff waited for one or two seconds before he went through with it and he shook the hand of Devon and then Devon said to the police sheriff "This will be the start to a great business between the two of us." After he said that, this was when we were made to actually leave the place now.

Afterwards, the four of us walked out of the pyramid where the androids were being made and once we were outside of the pyramid, I was looking right at the police sheriff and I was wondering why he had actually gone with the idea, and I was really tempted to ask but then I decided to just keep it to myself. There must have been a good reason to it. There just had to be a good reason to it, one that would make sense if I actually was told it.

After I was starting to get over the annoyance that I had with the sheriff, I was wondering what we were actually going to be doing next. "I think we should be heading down to the creek. I just have a feeling that something else is going to be happening there at any second now." I said, and I had no real idea why I was feeling this way, but there was just something about this that made me worried that we were going to have to defend the lives of every single person who lived at the creek, and if we didn't, then it was their fault if they had died.

"Where is the creek? Do you mind leading me to where that is?" The police sheriff asked and then after he asked me this question, I looked at the younger officer and he wasn't really going to try and object to what was happening. It was like he was actually seeing how well I was going to be able to handle this. Then I started to lead them to the way where the creek was, and I was thinking about if this was actually going to be a smart idea or if this was a dumb idea and that I should be ashamed of what I had just been slowly setting the people who lived at the creek for.

As I was going down to the creek, the police sheriff said "I still have no real clue what any of this is about. But I realize that there is no real reason to try and put logic to any of this. I might as well just accept what is happening, and if I learn anything, then I will tell everybody about it, but if not, then I guess that perhaps I am just going to be here just to fight the monsters off and save the people in my city from death. That is the least of what I should be doing after all."

The younger officer looked like he was finally starting to get tired, as if his lack of sleep was kind of getting to him now of all times. Then he looked right at us and he said "I think I am going to just catch a quick nap." Then he closed his eyes for the mere few minutes that we were going to be in the car, since he was just letting his mental mind kind of prepare for what was going to be happening at any moment.

Eventually, after another ten minutes or fifteen, I couldn't remember, we parked at the side of the forest and then we were ready to actually go inside of the forest. As we were inside of the forest, I saw that he was looking right at us and he said "I will let you help in the fight against these monsters, shall a fight happen, but I am not going to let this become a full time thing. I am only allowing this because you seem to know what the monsters are, and by default, you are the biggest expert so far. But I think after this fight, I will have a grasp of what I am supposed to be doing." Then with that, we were inside of the forest to start our journey.

As we were inside of the forest, I was looking around and I saw the creek entrance and then we were inside of there and at the creek, there were the same three or four people there and then we were just in there, thinking that maybe there really wasn't any monsters in there, but then there was a really loud, long noise. We were looking around, and then I was thinking that a monster was coming along at any minute. My theory was proven to be true when there was a crashing noise and something that looked like a gorilla that had been dead for like a month came into the forest and they seemed to be largely enraged.

The police sheriff grabbed a gun from their holster and started to fire it several times and they saw as the monster was barely looking like they were actually getting damaged at all. I was shocked at how little these guns were helping out. But despite that, I could see a small amount of blood coming out of it after all.

And then afterwards, the monster started to run towards the police sheriff as I started to skate on my board and then I rammed right into the monster and before they were able to start to claw at me, I jumped under the monster and then I was able to not get attacked by them this way. This gave the police sheriff enough time to grab a shot gun and then fire it at the monster a couple of times.

The shot gun actually seemed to do some damage, enough though he had to reload after every single time he had fired the gun at the monster to hit them. Then the younger sheriff saw that there was one stick of dynamite and then he threw the stick of dynamite right at the monster and then the dynamite blew up and it seemed to actually made the monster start to walk a little bit slower. Jason from the creek was witnessing this, and he was wondering what he was going to do to actually help out here. Then he grabbed the knife that Tristan used to have and then he ran to the monster and at their back start to stab it several times. That was until the monster swatted Jason away and then Jason slid down on the ground and he got up, barely anything keeping him running.

The monster was still seeming like they were impossible to beat. So I started to run up the small hill in the creek and I was just trying to find either some back up weapons or perhaps have a way that the monster would get distracted so that way the police officers would start to shot at the monster to eventually kill them, since there was only so much damage these things can take.

I was watching as the monster was coming up towards me, and I was thinking that perhaps there was a small chance that I can indeed pull this off, and I was starting to get a little bit more hope in life by doing this. I looking around and I was just trying to find something, anything that can destroy this monster. I found something that looked like a really sharp stick, and then I grabbed it and as the monster was getting closer to me, I stabbed them right on their hand and while I knew I didn't really do any real damage, I felt like I needed to do something while the police sheriff was placing bullets inside of their back.

I could hear all of the shotgun bullets going right into the back of the monster, and I was wondering if there was a chance that this was actually going to let us win this battle, or if we were just fucked by doing this. I was seeing as the younger officer also grabbed his pistol and he fired the gun a few times himself and he was just pouring all of his bullets into that thing, wondering how many bullets it was going to take for this monster to actually get killed off.

I then threw as many rocks as I could at that thing, just getting as much damage as humanly possible at the thing and I could tell that after about three minutes or me throwing the rocks at this thing, that the monster was finally starting to slow down from damage. I was glad that we were finally making progress on this thing, and that there was a chance that perhaps this monster actually can get killed off.

As I was watching the monster slow down, I saw the police sheriff fire the bullets in the gun a couple of more times, and I saw that the monster was starting to walk backwards and get on the way to falling down. I then was walking a single step back, thinking that I was finally able to stop this throwing and then the monster landed on the ground and they remained still for a moment.

I was walking down the small hill, not really sure what I was going to do now, and if there really was anything that I can do and then when I was done, I saw that the monster was starting to turn into ashes, and that was when I knew that we had won against this thing. Then the police sheriff sighed and then realized just how many bullets that they had wasted on this, feeling a little bit annoyed at that fact as it was sort of sinking into him.

I was realizing that the terrible smell of the monster was coming to me. It made some of the other monsters by that point in time smell actually relatively fresh by that point in time. I then sat down and then I thought about how my pants were going to get extremely wet and gross over the fact that I had just sat down really close to where the monster that we had just defeated was. "So what we are going to do next?" I asked and then the police sheriff looked right at me as if they could not believe the fact that I was actually asking this question, wondering what type of trouble I was going to cause or at the very least hint at cause when I was just asking the question.

"You are going to go home, and your friend is going to go there as well. Then you guys are going to hold your end of the promise as well. Then we will start to take care of the entire operation all on our own. I don't want you guys talking about these events to anybody else, and I don't want this to start to turn into some form of fucking mass hysteria." The police sheriff said and then the younger officer took out another cigarette and smoked it. I think nobody would really argue with him using it. I would say that he had earned it this time by now.

"Just remember what I had said earlier, if it turns out that any monsters attack me or my friends, I will fight them. I won't hunt for them, but if something happens, I will one of the first people to jump up and defend them." I said and then the police sheriff thought that it was annoying that we were going over this again as the younger officer talked with the people at the creek to take some questions and use this as evidence as the police sheriff was taking Myron and I all the way to the police car while I was holding my now soaked skateboard under my arm.

Eventually, Myron and I were inside of the car, and then I saw that the police sheriff was going back inside of the car to go and grab his younger associate to make sure that this guy wouldn't go too far into the questions for something that was honestly not really even in their power. The two of them were heading on back to the car as Myron said "I don't want to deal with that again."

The police sheriff started to drive us away and then he was just remaining quiet this whole time, not really wanting to have any conversations with us at the time being. He was thinking about how bad this was going to look on the record for the town, and he was starting to think about all of the deals he had made about the androids earlier. He was feeling like a fucking dumbass as he was thinking about this, regretting a large part of this.

The entire time that we were driving home, I was just talking to Myron pretty quiet while the driver and the younger officer were just not speaking a single word to each other, doing a combination of pondering how to handle the monsters from this point forward while also kind of listening to the conversation at the exact same time. "So you know, I think that maybe we can actually get back to a normal life if we actually do hold our end of the deal. Besides, I do need a couple of breaks after this. Dealing with these monsters has really worn me down, and taking a break would not be a terrible idea at all." I said and then I was yawning a little bit. All of this plus the previously terrible sleep time were finally coming right back to me, and I was watching as Myron was just remaining a little bit unsure to this.

"I really think that you should go on and try to lead a normal life again. That is the very smallest thing that you need. I am thinking that you are getting yourself in a really dangerous situation throughout all of this." Myron had said and I was thinking that it was annoying that everybody was telling me to stop here, but at the same time I was just thinking about how true it sadly was, and how wrong I was for getting all in their place of not acting like they were valid by doing this.

"I know that I am unsafe when I do all of this. But nobody ever does anything to actually make this a better school, and I am just trying my best to turn around the tides to actually make this work out." I said and then afterwards, Myron and I remained silent for a mere seconds.

"I think that we both need to get some decent amount of sleep when we get to our houses. Then starting tomorrow, just take things a bit easier. That is the least you can do us for, as the friend of many people inside of wayside." Myron tried to keep the subject just a little bit nicer again, and then I was already starting to feel my eyes bag a little bit, and I was barely keeping myself awake by this point in time.

"Yeah, I think that we can agree with each other on that regard." I said and then eventually, the car was starting to pull up at the front of my house. I pulled out the skateboard and said "See you later Myron" then I walked on inside of the house and then I went right to my room and I was going down on my bed and I was closing my eyes, barely able to contain myself for how tired I was. In fact, when I closed my eyes, I was pretty much asleep right away.

I was not really sure how long I was asleep, and honestly I gave zero fucks how long I had been asleep. I really needed it, and I was going to take advantage of it now. I had no real to not sleep when I had every single thing in the world to justify the idea of me sleeping. I had a terrible night sleep the previous night, and I had been fighting monsters and dealing with the police for the entire day, and at the same time I was still wondering if this was when the police were finally going to get in my business of what the hell was going on, to try and get me in trouble for ruining their public image or something like that.

I was just moving around a lot while I was asleep, trying to really piece together everything that had happened, and I knew that it was just fucking impossible for that to happen. There were so many things that had happened that piecing it all together would have honestly been as close to impossible as it would have been to have the republicans win every single state of the south at once.

I was thinking about how much of this was really a natural event, and if any of this at all was a natural event or if I was going crazy even hinting at the idea of this having anything related to natural events at all. I knew it was funny silly for me to pretend as if this was actually natural stuff, but I was just trying to think of any of this that I could piece together as something within a form of reason, and looking back at it, I knew how dumb I was for even considering the idea of this being a possibility.

Eventually, the night had all but been over with and I was starting to feel the sunlight get in my eyes. I was getting up and then I was yawning a little bit, and I was just wondering if the sleep was actually even worth it at all. Despite the fact that I wouldn't really consider it to be a good night of sleep, I did feel better over the fact that I did get a decent amount of hours of sleep in that night, so I was just figuring that I had to take things one step at a time and I had to just sort of count my blessings in a way.

Once I was out of my bed, I was sort of getting around the area and I was rubbing my eyes a little bit, and then I was getting ready to do some other things this next day, wondering if I was actually going to be able to survive the next few days of my life without any form of monsters coming along and fighting me, or if that was just something that I was just going to have to accept would never fucking happen.
