《P I G S》29. Brutality
Advertisement
We all stopped at a sudden halt as we saw a bush start moving next to the hatch and we didn't dare move.
This was bad, with the sun starting the set we had to get into the hatch before night however if that thing moving in the bush was a creature we couldn’t.
As we were crouching there watching we suddenly saw a face come out of the bush.
It was a squirrel.
It was a dark brown with twitchy eyes looking everywhere.
It seemed to have something tucked inside its mouth and although I couldn’t see what was inside the blood running down its chin seemed to imply.
It looked around to see if anyone could see what it was doing however, we managed to duck behind some trees before it saw.
After it decided nothing was around it went back to eating.
After that Ezra leaned into me and whispered
“I’ll grab it and hold on to it and you stab it”.
I looked at him nervously and nodded my head.
I was scared but we didn’t have a choice we had nowhere else to go.
I peeked back at jack who looked as pale as a ghost.
I think that the creatures freaked him out and with what happened with his sister I don’t think it's getting any better.
However, I had to focus.
I didn’t know if I had the guts to kill it and the longer it took to move over to it made me doubt myself even more.
I didn’t have a choice though, it was either us or it.
As we got to it my heart was pounding so loud that I thought the creature would hear it.
As Ezra positioned himself behind the bush the creature was in he looked at me as if to tell me to get ready.

Suddenly, the squirrel's head popped out of the bush and was about to see Ezra however, he locked his arms under his armpit and grappled its legs with his own.
As he did that I moved in with my knife. Finally getting a good look at its front I could tell it was female.
I gripped the knife tightly and gave it an underhanded knife stab to the stomach.
As I did that its mouth opened and the flesh in its mouth shot out and splashed me in my face causing me to close my eyes.
While I was blinded, Ezra spoke hastily
“Keep stabbing it's not dead!”.
After hearing that I started stabbing relentlessly for the next few moments.
My eyes were burning from the blood and small flesh chunks in them however I didn’t dare wipe them until Ezra told me I could.
Ezra eventually told me to stop and I did.
I finally had a moment to wipe my burning eyes.
As I opened them the sight I saw was horrific.
There were at least 30 stabs in the stomach and it seemed that some organs were starting to fall out.
Down its face was chunks of vomit, blood, and flesh most of which landed on my face and chest.
I had the strong urge to vomit, however, I managed to hold it in.
Jack on the other hand spewed all over the floor next to me.
I managed to dodge the splash from it however Ezra got some on his shoe.
After his vomit session, Jack looked incredibly pale and wouldn’t look at me straight.
I couldn’t tell if it was because he was scared of me because of how brutally I killed the creature or if it was because I was covered in flesh and vomit.

At the moment I didn’t care however as I just wanted to get inside and find something to wash myself off with. Ezra opened that hatch hastily as it was getting dark.
However, as we opened the hatch a pungent smell wafted through the air.
I felt instantly nauseous.
I covered my nose with my t-shirt and nodded to Ezra that we had to go outside.
I would rather sleep in the smell than have to survive a night outside with the creatures.
Ezra decided to go first as he was the most experience when it came to life or death scenarios.
We watched him climb down into the darkroom.
Once he hit the bottom he moved his hand around looking for a light switch before eventually finding one.
Once he turned it on he looked around and then just stood there in shock.
Confused about why he was standing still I climbed down as well and took a look around.
The moment I did my jaw dropped agape at the sight.
There were bodies everywhere.
Blood and bullets filled the room with the bodies being the main centerpiece.
Everyone in the room seemed to be soldiers, some of them however looked a little different.
They had the face of a chameleon.
The first thought that came to mind for me was how we were going to sleep here.
There were at least twenty bodies in this small room and the four beds each had about two bodies on them.
Eventually, Jack got curious and came down as well and his jaw dropped as well.
We stood in silence for a few moments as we had no clue what to do.
After a moment Ezra rolled up his sleeves and sighed
“Looks like we’re on body moving duty again Dante.”
I sighed as well and rolled up my sleeves.
I was hoping to clean myself off however, it seemed that I was going to get even more blood on my clothing.
Suddenly when we were about to start picking up the bodies we heard a noise.
It was the click of a gun

A Forgotten Hero
(author: This is gonna be a long synopsis I apologise. This should be a prolouge but as you will see I have a seperate prolouge, please forgive me. This fiction as a warning beforehand is as basic as it comes, prettymuch following all story conventions of both the mecha and school life genres. I am mostly writing this to figure out my writing style before I begin something truly creative and uique. I dont wanna ruin something I worked hard on by being illiterate. Also illustrations are at a minimum because all I have access to is MS paint.) In the year 2028 humanity (accidentally) created the means to travel great distances through space in a short period of time. This has led humanity down the road of great technological advancement and also led to the spread of humanity across their home system and just begiining first steps upon other solar systems planets. In the year 2033 the human colonies in space broke from the chains of their old countries creating hyper advanced societies disregarding nationality and any other defining factor. Two space societies formed the Solar Empire a monarchic society with its capitol on the moon Titan which controeld the entire human home system aside from Earth which still remained divided into seperate contries. The other was the Extra-solar Leauge. A mysterious society outside of easy contact range with any other humans besides themselves. To help with construction and other work outside of sealed and breatheable atmospheres of their cities and ships the Solar Empire and Extra-Solar Leauge created what became known as Advanced Movement Shells(AMS). These machines are best described as huge exoskeletons or "mechs", and they aided greatly in getting things done by increasing strength, durability, and the amount of tools able to be used. They also aided in quelling rebellions among extremist groups forming in these new societies. Finally in the year 2050 the Solar Empire having divinated their emperor, and now beliving themselves to be their religions chosen people, the Solar Empire declared a holy war of conquest against all the nations of Earth in order to conquer it under the idea that all humanity was required to bend to their divine emperors rule. The first month of the war whent badly for earth as the divided nations fell one by one due to the Empires superior weaponry among other technologies which made their forces nearly invincible. The AMS were used to great effect due to their almost "magical" level of technological advancement. Some nations able to put up some kind of defense created their own versions of these technological terrors. From there the war became a brutal stalemate and suddenly was won by the forces of earth. Why this is still hasn't come to the light of the common man, but one thing is for certain it took a heroic effort from one, or many people to win it for humanity...

A Cleric's Life for me.
This is a casually written story loosely based on TTRPG games like DnD and Pathfinder. The attempt of the story is to have a slow growth in power and comical set of characters who eventually grow close and set off for more serious adventures. There will be plenty of familiars and funny tales that don't involve combat. The intention is not to be a goody-two-shoes cleric story where nothing bad happens. The intention for this story was a slow paced grungy story where everything seemed great at first and things just kept getting worse. I learned how shitty of a story that is to write and honestly I am just not good enough to get the idea down. I plan on revisiting it later.
