Hello again! Has it been a week already? What do you think? What will
happen to Miki now that she's in a tiny ghost town? Please review, I like
reviews.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I went into the general store first. It was rather small, with one clerk and little inventory. I went to the clerk and asked if this town had a cab service. "We only have one cab in town," was his reply, "and that's being used by old Ms. McGree." Great, now I'm stuck here in this shit-hole town. As I turned to go, he yelled after me, "Dang nabit, she's got a tail! Marie, get my gun!" My tail, which had been tucked safely in my pants for the ride, was peeking out of my pants, the tip lashing from side to side in anger. I broke into a run, as he jumped over the counter, rifle in his hand. I could take on school bullies, and even adults in hand-to-hand, but with just me against a gun, I was sure to loss. I ran quickly, but I didn't know the town well and soon turned down a dead end. Now I spun around to face him. He was advancing on me slowly, as if expecting my to grow fangs or something. "Dang mutants, you scumbags are always crawlin' through the town, you're as bad as the bloody rats! But at least I can get you! So I says die! ya scumbag." Then, he shot.
Everything seemed to move in slow-mo. A strange sensation came over me, and my whole body seemed to tingle with power; power unleashed, unknown, until now. My sight, speed, everything, seemed heightened. I saw every tiny crack and flaw in the metal, bringer of death. Moving on more reflex then thought, I jumped, hoping to clear the bullet. I did more than that; I jumped onto the rooftop of the house blocking my path. It was almost like I could fly! Finally, everything seemed to speed up again, and I heard the splintering of wood as the bullet hit the side of the building and not me. I couldn't help it; I let out a yell of joy and inspected my body, looking for any side effects of my sudden increase of power; or bullet holes. My looking was cut short when the wood next to my feet suddenly exploded as the clerk took another shot at me. Maybe I should get out of here I thought, then sprinted away across the roof, the clerk spitting curses at me the whole way.
Well, I thought, lying in bed, that was certainly an interesting day. I had gotten home late that day, our house being on the very outskirts of no- where land. It was depressing, really. I had jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire. Of a gun. This was going to be the worst ever. I stared at the ceiling, all the little bump of stucco making designs. "Mom," I whispered to myself, as a single tear rolled down my cheek. "Where are you?"

Ooh! X_x poor Miki, she just doesn't seem to have any luck. Or friends. What does this new town have in store for her?
