The Chronicles of Biggs, Chapter 2
The Plague
(The following story is based on a dream that Sarah D. Shepherd had one night. It is told from Meredith's point of view.)
I was at Emily's house when it all started. Sarah was there too, and we were comforting Emily, who had lost her parents due to "the plague". I wasn't really sure what this "plague" was all about, but it wasn't good. My brother was there too, for reasons unknown to me.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Emily's brother, Jeremy, went to answer it.
"The barbarian is here!" Jeremy exclaimed. We all rushed to the door to see Marilyn Manson and his band standing in the doorway. We all immediately dropped to our knees and began bowing.
"All hail the barbarian!" we chanted, whilst bowing down. Suddenly, we noticed that my brother was missing. We ran outside to see him running around, flailing about.
"Oh no…" Sarah began, "He must have…the plague." She said.
I got very sad at that moment. "Th-the plague! Nooo!"
From that moment on, a leash in Emily's front yard bound my brother.
"Well…it's feedin' time," Sarah said as she exited the house with a bowl of cocoa puffs for my brother. She put it in front of him. He smiled happily and dove face-first into the bowl of cocoa puffs. He flailed about for a bit, and then stopped moving completely. We gasped.
"Well," Sarah said sadly, "That's it…he's gone."
