《Peacekeepers (COMPLETE)》43

I run back and shoot at Reede as a jeep drives straight at him. He cleaves down at Bolt, but the jeep sends him flying. A woman gets out and throws a Molotov at him. Reede catches fire, screaming in a shrill tone. He runs on all fours, "Zero! do no let them leave!"
I get up, pointing my gun at her, "You wanna put down that gun sweetie? I'm here to evacuate the both of you." I lower it, "Fine, drive." She grabs her radio as I drag Bolt up into the back seat, "Norbert! You ready?"
*Start it up?* She sets down a whiskey bottle before hopping in, "Yeah, now." She starts up the car and stomps on the gas, "Who are you?" She peers in the rearview, "We got company!" I look back and it isn't a car. A beast on all fours stomps through the swerving cars.
"It's gaining fast! How far?" She makes a sharp turn and the creature flies straight past. "Not far at all!" She makes another turn and we come upon a long road with train tracks. A train's coming fast, whistling in the distance,
*I'm almost there! Keep driving!*
The creature hops down, cracking the pavement behind us. I yell up to her, "No way we're getting on a bullet train!" She laughs as a train with a small moving crane crashes through a barricade before slowing down. Someone's in the crane.
*Get your heads down!* The crane drops and rips through the windows. The woman yells, "Why didn't you use a magnet!?"
*It'd take too long!*
The creature grabs hold and drags us back on the ground, "Shit! Tango! Get him!" Some kind of black hook comes through the back window, trying to claw at me.

*Hold on, I got it!*
He takes out a flare gun, covering one ear before firing at him. With a shrill scream, it lets go as we get pulled up. Norbert waves with a smile, *Close call!* He moves us over a platform and drops us slowly. We get out as the burning creature screams, charging towards us, gaining fast.
Norbert smiles as he grabbed a tablet and waved to it. He waits as the woman yelled, "Do it already!"
"It's fine, trust me!" About twenty feet away, he presses a button and waves, "So long, sucker!" He grabs his knees and laughs while pointing at it. It started going faster, "Shit, shit!" He runs as it leaps, swiping a large hook at him. We laugh as Norbert and the creature tumbled forward. He clenches his heart and breathes heavily.

Summon Imp!
Travel with a newly born demon as he grows and learns in his own world as well as in other worlds as he gets summoned again and again. Usually to die or kill for others in strange and exciting places, but it's never certain what the next one will bring. It has its perks. With each new world comes a new story with new experiences and new lessons. There is always more to see, more to learn and more to know. Maybe, someday, it will all make sense. For now he will just work hard to become stronger, to be useful and, hopefully, survive that way. A coming-of-age story, but different. Things start to slow down to a crawl. Colors blur into one another until my vision is completely white. All I can think is "Shit, not this again!" I hate being summoned. _________________________________ updates once a week until I get more time The idea for this story began in two places. One was the ridiculously rapid pace of gaining power in many novels. Both in games and in novels, I enjoy the struggle of the beginning character, why always the rush? The other was the way many monster or non-human MCs always seem to hurry to become human (again). It always felt like a cheap way to grant the character extra powers without the difficulty of writing a non-standard thought process. Thus I wanted to write the slow(ish) progression of a monster character gaining strength and intelligence, while remaining distinctly non-human. There are no stats, xp or systems, no reincarnated soul or completely formed being to start with - unless I want to make fun of those. While the MC 'evolves', the process takes months if not years to proceed step by little step. Sit down with me and imagine, what would it be like if...

8 117Time And Thoughts
This a book is where I freely express and convey emotions and my thoughts about topics. It's a place where I spend my TIME putting my THOUGHTS into words in hopes of helping someone. I've written these poems in such a way, so that my viewers can derive their own meaning from them. For me as a person I tend to feel more comforted, when down, by listen to music or reading poems, in which the poem or song is hopeless and gives off the feeling of the protagonist being bluntly hurt. In my poems I write without words of encouragement, but instead comfort the reader through understanding and allowing them to feel.If you ever feel the need to talk to someone or want to know the meaning of one of my poems or just wanna say something feel free to comment or private message me.Please enjoy and be comforted by my book.Highest ranking:#1 poems#1 poembook#2 poemcollection#2 poem#3 poetry#3 poetrycollection#5 sadpoems#5 thoughts#8 emotions#13 freeverse#17 hopeless#20 feelings#24 sadness#36 depressing #44 updating#56 life#70 sad#87 poet
