Day 15
From this point on, this is the dark age. No hope is left
This is the chapter of hell and suffering. What once was a place flooded with life had became a desolate shell of its former self. We are in the age of the Pop Tart
Instalment 2
Puppeteer Pop Tart
The sun rose the next day, and the citizens of the newfound dystopian world were ready to face another day in their harsh reality. For most, this meant a day of toils and hardships, of trying to survive in a world ruled by a tyrannical leader. Suffering was constant and life sucked.
For the young, it meant a day of school. A place where they could learn and grow, but also a place of intense bullying and ridicule. For Harry, it was a place of dread.
Harry had been the victim of bullying since the first day he stepped into the school. Everyone was aware of his history with Pop Tart Guy, and used it to make fun of him. They would relentlessly tease and mock him, and it seemed like nothing could stop the onslaught of torment. Sky didn't help either by being annoying, Sky was gone now. He had been gone for what seemed ages even though it had only been one day.
Today, the school's hallways were filled with whispers and murmurs regarding Harry. Everyone wanted to know what had happened the day before, and why Harry was so quiet and solemn. We had a whole multiverse ahead of us now.
The day went on as usual, with everyone doing their best to ignore the elephant in the room. No seriously, your mom was in there. That is, until lunchtime.
When lunchtime arrived, Harry was forced to face the music. He walked into the cafeteria, his head hung low, and was immediately bombarded with whispers and taunts.
"Look at the loser!"
"What's the matter, can't handle a little bullying?".
Harry wanted nothing more than to run away and hide, but he knew he had to stand his ground. He had to prove to the bullies that he wasn't afraid of them, and that he wouldn't be pushed around.
He took a deep breath and steeled himself, then slowly walked towards the table. He sat down in his usual spot and waited for the taunts to start. But instead of being met with insults, he was met with silence.
The other students had stopped their taunts and were now looking at him with a newfound respect. They had seen the courage he had displayed the day before, and were now in awe of him.
Harry smiled, knowing he had done just that. He had stood up for himself, and in the process, he had gained the respect of his peers. He knew that this newfound respect wouldn't last forever, but it was a start.
He looked around the cafeteria, and saw the other students looking back at him with admiration. He finally felt like he belonged.
The bell rang shortly after, signaling the end of lunch. Everyone got up and started to head back to their classes. Before Harry left, he looked back one last time. He smiled, knowing that he had finally gained the respect he deserved.
The streets still looked like a war zone, bombs paraded from the sky and littered the streets. No where was safe, a humongous poster read "Big Brother cannot watch you right now, but the cops can".
One must imagine Harry Ward even getting enjoyment now. At least he didn't get a music video made about him by CG5.
