Neo

by spicycinnamonsugar

All was well in the world before they came. They enslaved us, tortured us, and tested us. They stole everything from us and yet we fight to reclaim our earth before its too late. But when all hope seemed lost, our very lives were held in the hands of one boy. Neo. [idea for this story came from the Host and my own words/characters] (I DO NOT OWN THE HOST)

3. Death of a Hero

I was getting out of here. Either they would come in and stop me or risk loosing whatever their experiment is.

I took off my shirt and ripped it down the middle several times. I started braiding the strands tightly and tied off the ends till I was left with a tight rope. I took off my pants and did the same then tied the two together. I pulled the ends to check the sturdiness, there was no way they were coming apart. I saw the blue light shine on the screen once more and I turned to see the message;

What are you doing?

I forced a laugh, "oh you'll see sweet cheeks, just wait." I started tying knots. The blue light flashed again;

I demand to know what you are doing.

"Patience young grasshopper." My heart started beating with anxiety when at last I was finished. There lied my way out, I held up my old clothes now fashioned into a makeshift noose. The light flashed again;

Don't do it.

"Figured it out huh? You're smarter than I thought." I started tying the noose to the metal tube in the ceiling which they used to dispense my food pills.

Stop. You won't accomplish anything by doing this.

"I'll be free from you, I think that's a pretty good accomplishment." I tightened the noose and tugged the rope, perfect.

Stop! Don't do this!

I stood below the noose and looked up. I grabbed onto the metal tube and with all my strength I pulled myself up.

The screen began flickering like a strobe light.

STOP!

I leveled myself to the noose and stuck my head through. "I'm sorry Anne..." I was about to let go when the wall door swung open. I smiled. Here's my chance.
