《Curse of Change (Hiatus)》Chapter 1 - Bone Slicer
Advertisement
It was a stereotypical morning for me, David Johnson: wake up, brush my teeth, get dressed, eat breakfast, pack up for school, etc. As David was walking to school...
(David) The weather is fantastic today! Sunshine, a nice breeze, a good temperature...ah, what a perfect day! It's really a pity that I have to GO TO SCHOOL!!!
Yelling this, David suddenly stopped walking with an irritated look on his face.
(David) Grrr...this is so annoying...I don't wanna go to school, I wanna stay at home and go swimming in the pool...
As he was muttering, he suddenly felt something...strange. As if water was trickling down his neck, freezing the skin as it goes.
(David) What is this feeling...it's as if...all hell's gonna break loose...*shiver*
(???) You...noticed...me? Not...good...need...to...work harder...
David trembles, not because he was cold, but out of pure fear.
(David) Who's there?! {What are horrifying voice! It sounds just like a...a...}
(???) Who's there? Me...just...me...who is "me"...who am I?
A young boy with sickly white hair and blood red eyes suddenly steps out of the shadows. He is wearing ragged shorts filled with rips and tears. He is covered in dirt, obscuring his true appearance, and isn't even wearing a shirt. The strange youth suddenly does something that scares the hell out of David: he smiles. Not a normal smile, a smile that makes David feel like the boy is looking at an appetizing dessert.
(???) You noticed me...so can I...kill you?
(David) {Not good, this guy is totally crazy! Gotta call the cops!}
Whipping out his phone, David immediately dials 911 and begins to run away while holding the phone to his ear.
(David) Yes, hello? There is this crazy person who is threatening to kill me...yep...I am currently on Pearl Stree-

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Screaming, David arches his back against his will, and a look of intense pain appears on his face.
*CRRRRRRRAAACK!!!*
David, now a lifeless corpse, falls to the ground with his back bent in an unnatural fashion. The boy walks over to the corpse and stares at it with an emotionless expression.
(???) Need to...work harder...can't...let...them...see me...
The boy then takes on a confused look.
(???) ...only this...one...sensed me...but why? How?
*Sirens screaming*
*SCCCRREEEEEEEEECCH!!*
A police car comes to a screeching halt in front of the boy and a police officer steps out of the car, a fearful look in his eyes.
(Policeman) Put both hands in the air and hold them behind your head! You are under arrest for murder!
He yelled as he pointed his gun at the boy.
(???) ...noisy...
(Policeman) Did you not hear me?! Put both hands in the air and-*gasp*
(???) Too noisy...shut up.
The boy then raises his hand, and points at the policeman.
(Policeman) {Can't...breath...what did he do? Oh no...everything's going...dark...}
The policeman's lifeless corpse falls to the ground, and the boy turns away from it and begins to shake violently.
(???) Not enough...need more...more...more...MORE!!!
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM*
(News Reporter) Just 2 hours, the police found the dead body of a young man along with a policeman who were found at the site of the explosion that occurred yesterday...
(???) Woah, that's scary! I'm glad I wasn't there! Right, Alyssa?
(Alyssa) I agree, that's pretty scary, especially since I almost went that way to walk to school yesterday! Gosh, good thing I didn't. Think about it: you might have lost your best friend Elizabeth.
(Elizabeth) How many times do I have to tell you!? CALL ME LIZZY!! *pinches Alyssa's cheeks*

(Alyssa) Ouch, dat huwts, stobp id!
(Elizabeth) Grrrrr...fine. I'll stop...
(Alyssa) *Sighs and rubs cheeks* Geez...huh?
Standing near the curb is a young boy about 4 feet tall. He has messy white hair and ghostly pale skin. He is looking around anxiously as if waiting for something. Noticing this, Alyssa begins to walk over to him with a frown on her face, but is stopped by Elizabeth.
(Elizabeth) What's wrong?
(Alyssa) There's someone there! He looks lost. I'm gonna go help him!
(Elizabeth) Hey! Wait up!
Alyssa runs off towards the boy with Elizabeth in tow. As they approach the boy, he looks up at them quizzically.
(Alyssa) Hey little guy, what's wrong? What's your name? Are you lost? Are you looking for your parents? How old are you?
(Elizabeth) Hey, Alyssa, calm down! You're overwhelming him! Don't ask so many-
(Young Boy) Nothing is wrong. My name is Johnny. I am not looking for my parents as I don't have any. I was created 6 years ago so I am 6 years old. Also, I am not lost: I am merely searching for something kill. Any other questions?
(Alyssa and Elizabeth) ...Huh?
(Johnny) Anyway, since you don't appear to have anything else to ask me...can you please die?
*CRRRRRRRAAAAAACK!!*
2 more corpses fall to the ground with their backs arched in an unnatural posture, almost as if they were folded in half.
(Johnny?) Why did you answer their questions? They were annoying.
(Johnny) I was bored, Blitz.
(Blitz) I see. Well, anyway, you seem to be getting much better at using my powers now. You split the perfectly in half. Good job.
(Johnny) Thanks, and of course I am getting better! We are one and the same after all!
(Blitz) True, but not quite; remember, you are simply a personality I created for interacting with humans, you must still obey my orders.
(Johnny) Of course...Master.
(News Reporter) 2 school girls have been found dead on the street with their spines split. It appears that the "Bone Slicer" has struck again! Now, onto the weather...

The Book of Hickory
Now why did Hickory go and punch that Angel? Sure it spooked him, popping up right there at lunch, and yet, it wasn't fear that balled his hand into a fist - Cause wouldn't you? Wouldn't anyone - with a sick Ma at home, Da long dead, buried, all them prayers piling up on bruised knees, unanswered? Hickory was angry, all right. He was fierce, now - cause that Angel didn't show up to give no help, that Angel came by asking for it - with all that power just plain to see, the power to fix the world and all that ails it! And now look what poor Hickory has to do - to save the world? Now how is he supposed to do that when its taking near everything he's got - just to keep them chickens safe, Ma fed, and himself out of trouble - All he wanted was maybe just a dance with May, maybe a bit more, to hold her close? That she's sweet, now, a voice like an angel, but now she's over there lookin at him like he's more than a man. And that's not to say Hickory is bad, not all the time, not ever on purpose - just there are things a man has to - That drinking and fighting ain't wrong just as long as the chores are done proper first, that those parts of life that make it worth living ain't no sin, that loving a lady is proper and Hickory just has so much love to give! And May is special, right, sweet and soft, now she's sophisticated. That she wears her passion like a pearl necklace? That certainly Hickory would notice, naturally - that she's already spoken for, perhaps taken? That ever since Hickory came back, that all she can think about is swallowing - those strange feelings, because it wouldn't do, would it? For a Lady? But certainly she can worship him and still be seen with Weston Covanger? Because Weston needs May, that what happens in the Study is only half the battle, the Men's Business, and he's far too proud to settle for half of anything. That if he wants to move up the ranks of his family, to be more than a Covanger, to become the Covanger? He's going to need a woman in the Kitchen as well - he's going to need May. And if that seems a bit old fashioned? A bit too much like the Wild West? Well the West is starting to get wild again now that everyone starts to Drink. A different take on LitRPG where answers aren't given - they must be earned, discovered and fought for, one at a time. An orator style, a long read, filled with magic buildings, crafting, alchemy, but most of all - This is a story about the human spirit. About understanding what defines a person, their morals, their beliefs, and also faith when everything they understand becomes challenged - changed. So do they. People can change. They will. Just not always for the better, not always - sometimes. Sometimes that's enough. Sometimes that's even everything.
