5 pm
Ten miles outside city limits
"Now listen here...one of us is smart and one of us not, one of us
is the worker and the other the master...you got that." Justin said
exasperated.
NHHAAA
The horse snorted back at Justin in response to his line of
questioning. Behind the horse was a tattered stump that was halfway
out of the ground.
"...Hey Jack you know of anyway to get this crazy critter moving."
Justin said annoyed at the lazy horse.
"No boss he knows quitting time when he sees it."
Justin looked to the sky which was darkening, yup winter was coming
the day weren't so long anymore and the nights were twice as long.
His two workers Jack and Jake were superstitious and hated working
after dark. "Tell you what you and your brother get on home but be
here about...5am alright and make sure you tighten that barn before
you go." Jack said unsnapping the stump from the horse and getting
on. He turned away and went home not wanting to be out himself after
dark with all the strange rumors of crazy animals and attacks around
lately.
Homestead...
Justin adjusted his bunny ears on his old black and white TV. It
had been three days since he had gotten anything in besides static
and it was getting on his nerves. It had also been three days since
he had last gotten a newspaper, one of the small extranegnaces he
allowed himself on his limited resources.
Thunk Thunk
Thunk Thunk
Justin looked outside his window to the barn outside in the
distance; he could hear the sound of the doors slamming open and
shut. Shaking his head he got out of his wore easy chair and to his
feet.
"Damn it all..." he said aloud taking a drink from a whiskey flash
at his side. Grabbing a flashlight and the extra set of barn keys he
headed outside.
BARN
The door rocked on its hinges in the wind and Justin went inside
almost losing his head in the process.
"WHOA...what the hells wrong with you." Justin said dropping his
flashlight and keys and landing in something wet. He got to his feet
and gave Jake a stern look even though the man was easily ten years
older then him he quickly started to apologize.
"I'm sorry boss you see...they...they got him." Jake said horrified
his face paling considerably.
"Got who Jake, and where's Jack." Justin said as he wiped the sticky dampness off the palm of his hand on his jeans. what is this stuff he wondered
Justin bent over and retrieved the fallen flashlight and saw at the answers to his question illuminated in it glow, there was Jack his head missing the blood pooled around him leading to Justin's feet and on his hand. There also was Jake holding a razor sharp machete.
