PEOPLEZZZZZ! I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO UPDATE FOR ALMOST A WHOLE ENTIRE WEEK! It's spring break for my school and my family is going on a vacation :-( I know, I'm sad too. ONWARD! NOW FOR THE STORY!


Part 11

(?'s pov)
I was spray painting an alley. Giant, neon green letters littered the walls and formed my name. I was just about to finish it off when I heard a dog barking off in the distance. Except the sound didn't come from anywhere. It seemed to come from a... Sewer grate? I think it was the one down the road. Instead of running there and putting my ear up to the grate like a total whacko, I took my spray paint and ran to the nearest manhole. Curiosity overcame me as I tried to wrench off the manhole cover, but darn, it was HEAVY. I took a rusted steel crowbar from beside a dumpster and wrenched it open. The barking became louder. It seemed like there was some sort of super hyper dog down there, but in the sewers? maybe I inhaled too much spray paint. It could be that. I've heard rumors of people going crazy from things like that, although I've never seen someone actually go crazy, at all. I slowly climbed down the ladder and reached the bottom. It was really dark down there, and all of a sudden the dog pounced on my back. I screamed and tried scrambling back up the ladder to the surface, but I couldn't find the ladder.

?: Hydrant! Down!

Me: who's there?

?: who are you?

Me: who, me?

?: is there any other person in the sewers than me and you?

Me: there's this crazy dog that's attacking me.

The person flicked on her flashlight And shined it in my eyes, then on her face. It was a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes.

?: i'm Asari. What's your name?

Me: i'm Dezirae. But call me Dez.

Asari: here, let me show you back up.

Me: wait, why were you down there in the first place?

Asari: ummm, my dad repairs broken stuff down here... so sometimes... I visit. Yeah, that.

Me: strange.

After Asari showed me up, I thanked her and walked away. At least she wasn't a cop or anything. Maybe next time i'll spray paint the sewers, because I bet nobody ever does.

It's a short part, but ah well. It's a short story, nonetheless.
