《RE: Choice》Chapter 16-2 - Childhood - Beck
Advertisement
Something inside my mind tugs me to ignore both of them.
"My name isn't Boris or Michael. You got the wrong person."
I say and walk off.
"Wait! Please come with me for your own sake!"
"Come with you? Hah! You probably gather those slaves so you can sell them yourself on the black market."
I ignore them and keep walking. What's with them? Are they both trying to kidnap me because I look like a slave? I need to get this choker off as soon as possible. But how am I going to do that…? I don't have any money and have no idea where I'm going. Hmm… I should probably check the alleys or somewhere less crowded. I'm bound to find some people by themselves I can extort.
I go in the first alley I come across that leads into a dead end. Who designed this crappy place… Why is there this empty space here in between three buildings…? I turn around and go back toward the main street. I follow the road endlessly not knowing where I'm going.
At some point, I hear screaming close by. A moment later, I see a young man wearing a metal choker run into my view from the cross street. He has a bloody dagger in his right hand.
"Get out of my way!"
He yells as he pushes through a group of people. I smile. Did he kill his master too? Who's that? I notice someone running after the slave. He's wearing a full set of armor and carries a sword in his right hand. He's fast! He catches up to the slave in a few seconds and slashes his back.
"Gah!"
The man drops his dagger and falls to the ground. Oh, shit… The armed man doesn't finish off the guy on the ground and just stands there.
"Isn't that Beck? He's doing a nice job as always."
I hear someone say around me.
"Hey, Beck! There's another slave over here!"
I feel a chill go down my back as the armed man turns toward me. His eyes meet mine. Oh, shit!
What should I do…?

Shoot on sight
Zone has no owner, it has its rules It shows no mercy, to both wise and fools. It has no God, it gives no hope It gives to kind, last rites and rope. It’s a Hell on Earth where demons thrive But people kill, to get inside. People kill, to leave this place People die, for a chance to stay. For those, outside, they dream of horrors We live inside, horrific borders. We live, we thrive, just like those demons. Here, our lives, they have a meaning. Zone has no God, it has no Devil But it has us and its enough We are in Hell or maybe Heaven Gates are here, in front of us. The Zone has many rules and none of them would make much sense to you, living on the Outside. For example here, you would never hear, “I’m sorry for your loss”. Only silence would be the answer. The most empathetic action you would receive, is an open flask and a nod. People here don’t expect to live long and happy lives and even the most optimistic person at most, would hope to die inside of a blender. It's the most painless and quickest way to die in The Zone, and the cleanest. Your body would be torn apart in a second by countless gravitational pulls, all centered on you, leaving nothing but a red circle outside of its perimeter.
