《DOPEMAN》End of an Era
Advertisement
Sera was heavy on my mind. The scouting team had yet to return. To make things worse, My arm blade is getting dull. I sharpen it, using an old stone. It was a sandstorm as well so I couldn't do much. Kyle walks in holding a fire ax. He sits with me. "Something's on your mind?"
"Sera. I'm really worried."
"Listen, Dopeman. If we're too late..."
"I know. It's just nice to think there's a chance she's alive."
"I understand. But there was something else. Just got a memo this morning. From Godhand. He wants to settle the score. For everything."
"Everything?"
"Yup. You win, We can have all of his men. They will pledge under Miller Corps. If he wins, we'll do the opposite."
"Why me? You're the commander, Kyle. I'm just a courier."
"Stop lying to yourself. You're Dopeman. You're the face of this operation. All anybody can talk about is you."
I looked down, remembering all I've done. "I'm pretty cool ain't I?"
He chuckled and passes me an ax. "Yeah. Now he said weapons only, no guns. If you wanna accept, here."
I nod. "I won't disappoint."
As he leaves, I get an idea I remember from the advertisements. A certain ax that emits plasma. nab a few wires and lace the live wires with the plasma from old LED lights. It's unstable, but with a shake, It works. With everything set up, I head to bed early.
We were near a sinkhole. A sandstorm was hitting us, I had my face covered. Fisher was next to me, holding my guns while I stared at the enemy, he was holding two machetes the crowd formed a circle, similar to the prison fight. "Remember, this man put you in jail in months. He's the reason you left."

I hopped in the air and huff to the center. my side yells in joy. Godhand laughs. "Dis is the man. The man who ruined di Miller Corps. This was a mistake."
I shake the fire ax, it pops out a purple light. "Enough talk. I wanna mount your head on a spear."
He shakes his machetes to emit an orange plasma. "Yuh nah guh survive! yuh a guh bi fed tuh di demons!"
He charged with an overhead strike. I block with the ax handle and push him off. I go for a swipe at the midsection, but he moves and cuts my face with his blade. I get a burning slice at my cheek. I roll away, but he was on the attack going for massive swings at my head. I roll out the way as he hits the sand. Godhand jumps over my ax as I attack his legs. I then hop up and attempt to disarm him, he cuts my side. I fall to my knees as he goes to hit my neck. I chop off his right arm as quickly as I can. He yells. I see this as an opportunity to chop at this man like a tree. I cut a leg off. He was on the floor, the NRF quiets as I hear the other side yells out "DOPEMAN! DOPEMAN! DOPEMAN!"
I aim at his neck. He grunts. "Deh will bi more. Yuh cyaan tap freedom."
I chop his head clean off. and picked his head up by his dreads. I raise it to the NRF. "Welcome to Miller Corps! We appreciate your service."

[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. For those unfamiliar with my writing style, Second Chances was my first attempt at writing. I'm not sure how much I learned in the process, except that readers get angry when you mess with characters they like! Warnings - I tend to info dump. I know I do this, I like slice of life novels that take time to unfold. So don't expect action, murder, and battles in every chapter, it isn't going to happen I prefer the first-person narrative. I will do an occasional POV shift, but it will never be done mid-chapter. I hope you enjoy the story, comments, ratings, and favorites are greatly appreciated!

QQQQ
Have you ever noticed that the letter Q is unnecessary? It doesn't provide any function to the language. Any word spelled with it could just as easily be spelled with other letters. Does that mean it shouldn't exist? Of course not. In this universe, everything has a place. Cosmic balance, Karma, God's plan, the laws of physics—they're all trying to describe the same thing. There is nothing that exists without purpose, and nothing without purpose that can exist. You can take solace in knowing that, just like the useless letter Q, you have birthright to exist in this world. Nothing can take that from you. Unless a creator God breeds technicolor angel-beasts hellbent on ripping you out of reality, of course. When Mina learns that she was a cosmic accident—a being accidentally created without purpose—what was once an easygoing life starts to entwine with conspiracies, impossible occurrences, and deadly occult mysteries. Not to mention friends so dangerous and unpredictable they make the cosmic horrors look normal by comparison. When the questions never stop piling up, it's hard to know where to begin. But I'll give you a hint: they all begin with a Q.
