Author's Note: I don't own any of the people from the books. I've made up a few people (Jim, the newscaster, and Brown-Haired girl) but that's about it. I got really bored once, so here this story is.
Special Thanks: I'd like to thank the people that actually bother to review (hint, hint) and especially Darago's Rainy Daae, a fellow fanfic author who is really kewl, and who read all of my stories. Thanx! This is my little way of recommending Stephen King books. Hope it works. On with the fic!
Erm, help?
He was sick of falling. It hurt. He was covered in bruises, and had developed a limp. Jim cursed repeatedly as he fell.
Jim had never read a Stephen King book, but now he was living them out. He knew that's what he was doing, because he had seen several movies. Not to mention he had heard people twittering away about them. He couldn't remember titles, but he'd have to check them out if he ever got out of this hell.
BAM! Jim landed on what felt like all of his bruises. He gasped for breath, pain flaring up and down his body.
"You! Beast!" a frantic voice said. It was barely above a whisper, but he caught every word. "What are you doing here? Is it not bad enough we have one of your kind here all ready?"
Jim searched frantically for the voice. All he could see was a tree.
"Over hear!" called the voice from the tree.
Jim hurried over to the shadows. There was a woman wearing a red toga. She had her hand clamped over the mouth of a wide-eyed man. Before Jim could react, she clamped her hand over his mouth and pulled him to her.
"Hush!" she ordered, and pointed. A man with…
Jim's eyes widened. A man with the head of a bull was coming down the mountain. He kept muttering to himself.
"I'm over here!" a female voice called. "What, are you too slow to catch me? A WOMAN?"
"Ze bool will catch you, Rose! Run, Rosie!" cried the bull-headed man. He began to laugh hysterically, lurching toward the voice.
Jim turned his head to see where that voice had come from. He saw a flash of another woman in a toga before she ran into a large temple.
"Ze bool will crush you like a-" he suddenly broke off.
Ze bool turned slowly towards where they cowered, and the woman's grip became frantically tight. Ze bool turned away again, and continued on…though much slower than before.
Jim saw his chance to escape, and took it up…or, at least, he tried to.
He took a running jump in the opposite direction of the man with the bullhead, and the red toga lady. Her eyes flared, but she didn't move. Jim knew movement might attract the bull, and so did she.
Ze bool turned suddenly, let out a howl of rage, and ran towards Jim, screaming, "I want to talk to you close up! REAL close up!"
That thing was fast. It caught up with Jim, and swung one fist.
Jim, who had been in many fights before, ducked, and punched. He might as well have kicked a tree for all the nonexistent damage he caused.
Ze bool lowered its head, and charged. Jim sidestepped it, but one horn caught his arm, leaving a painful tear in the skin. Just what I needed…
It turned and ran at him, then through him.
Jim was falling again.
He fell for quite sometime. Long enough for him to notice he was still bleeding. Unlike the weird disease, this wound stayed.
Jim landed in the midst of heat. There was a big furnace, and it looked about to blow. Jim stared at it as steam began to pour from it.
Just then, the door at the top of a flight of previously unnoticed stairs flew open. What lurched down the stairs made Jim think of the little boy-thing he had seen earlier.
It shoulders were hunched, and it was covered in blood. It looked as if it once was human, but had…changed. It's face was flat, and it kept muttering, "No…no…musn't…no…"
All accounted for, it was a horrible sight.
It walked directly into the steam, not noticing Jim or the heat. He grabbed onto a handle, and pulled.
Just before the thing blew up, he swung let out a huge amount of steam. The room fogged out, and Jim could hear it saying, "Good…good…musn't…I knew it wouldn't…"
Then the world blew up.
