《Shadow’s World》chapter 2
Advertisement
The music and the images changed in both tone and color. It shows two golden retrievers and a litter of cubs. One cub stood out from the rest he was huge and black, he towers over his brothers and sisters. The little cubs play different games and wrestling with each other. With no surprise, the black dog would always come out on top. We see the humans around him nodding their heads and expressing enjoyment in the dog. On the humans’ uniforms, they had a badge marked DH for dog helpers. The dog transported to a room with a lot of equipment.
The training starts; The dogs are doing different tasks. They are walking with the elderly, playing with small children, and helping the blind to walk. All the golden dogs are doing an excellent job helping people. Yet, there was one failure: the black dog. No matter what task, he is doing it in a rush. The blind cannot keep up with him and he drags the elderly along. He could follow orders, but was too fast; he was great with kids but played too rough. We see the testers’ grade sheet. The testers all gave him a failing grade.
His brothers and sisters were all given roles in helping people. They sent the black dog home. They left him with his parents. The dog didn’t walk with the same vigor as before. his shoulders where slump and he dawdled. His parents walked up to him and licked his face. In the eyes, the dog looked defeated. He just walks up to his bed and lay down beside it. His parents walk to either side of him and lie on top of him.
The dog is lying around the house. He has gotten bigger since the last time we saw him. His body looks like they made of steel. The dog's parents walk up to him and nudge him. He lazily gets up and moves around. His parents push him out of the house. At first, it seems the dog was walking around aimlessly, but he was in front of his old training ground. Tears drop from the dog’s eyes. He turns around and heads home. While walking down the street, we can see smoke from over one of the building tops.

The dog is sniffing the air and smells the smoke. He runs to the building is on fire but see it was the block off. His ears twitch, he can hear humans in the building but the firemen cannot get inside. He runs to a neighboring building, climbs all the way to the top of the roof, and jumps to the building is on fire. He heads down the fire escape and sees humans. He tosses them on his back and runs down the building to the front, ignoring the people around him yelling for help. The first person was free the dog runs back into the building. He goes to the third floor, ignoring crying voices again and finding two children hidden away scared to move. He barks and nodding his head to get on his back. The two small kids climb on the dog and he runs back to the entrance to get the kids to safety. The dog ran into that building to save nine more people. He saves everyone was inside and after that last person was safe the building collapsed. The dog turns to the rubble and stands over it, announcing that this is what he was born for and he has conquered the challenge.
The scene changes and we are in front of a hospital. There is a crowd of people standing outside. People holding microphones and there were news Vans Park outside. The scene changes and we see the people that the dog saves in beds. We see the dog walk back and forth, greeting the people he has saved. But something is wrong the dog stops moving, he collapses on the floor. The music change and now we are at a vet with people surrounding the dog. A veterinarian holds up an x-ray and we can see that the dog lungs are full of smoke. The vets all have very sad faces turn to the people who all want to see the dog get better. Tears fell to the ground as the survivors looked at the vets. There was nothing anyone could do and at the moment the machines flatling, the dog has died.

There was a funeral for the dog where hundreds of people attended. The dog didn’t have a long life but in his life; he saved nine people that could have burn alive. At his grave, he didn’t have a tome but a statue; a statue of a dog standing over a destroyed building.

During young age he got into an accident, which allowed him to learn the fact that he belongs to a rare group of people.. People diagnosed with lung cancer, which he, however survived. Can't say he's lucky, as his life went downhill from that point... Our story happens years later, when his fate decides to make a loop and throw him in the same kind of accident. He gets hit by a truck. Surviving the crash, suffering just a few scratches, he is ultimately "lucky" to find himself out of the hospital in no time.. however every bit of good luck always brings him terrible luck afterwards. This time pushing him maybe a bit too far.. How far? Making him vanish without a trace and find himself in the middle of an unknown forrest. Doesn't sound bad? He can consider himself lucky? Just wait and see...It can always get worse.. always.. .... Congratulations, you've made it through the intro and into the author note! If you by any chance missed the tags and didn't read the warning, please do that now. I really recommend you to. Before you jump to reading, and unintentionally scar yourself, do mind that the story is about a dark, unforgiving world, a world in which you have more opportunities to die a horrible death, than take a piss. Hero doesn't have great luck, he has dumb persistance, he doesn't go through any trial with a breeze, he pays the price of blood, flesh and tears to live..and will be paying for every mistake.. No one outright explains anything to him, just as us for the most part - he is not sure what the hell is going on.. Some real survival tactics are used as a base of the descriptions, they are as important to the world and character as any other element.. Mind that the story starts really slow, but as the stone starts rolling downhill - the pace gets faster.. Every tag for this novel has a reason to be there, so if you don't see the particular element there, don't panic.. it's either well camoufalged, subtle or simply not encountered as of yet. Big thanks to Hobbo, Enyhrye and Hveth! ...not only pointing that the description could be better, but providing invaluable input.. and being patient enough to give fleshed out advice.
