《The Midnight Man》Chapter 13 - Crazy Lady
Advertisement
May hid behind a nearby tree as she watched thirty Midnight Men pile out of the building. She knew she couldn't stop them. All she could do was watch as they made their way to the other buildings. May ran through the dense trees behind the building and quickly dug a hole big enough to crawl underneath the metal fence.
May ran for her life until she was in the big busy city. She could see the cars zoom past on the road. She could feel the nice cool breeze in her hair. It was a cold day, with a few clouds in the sky. May ran across the road and into the nearest shopping centre.
"HELP!" She screamed, running down the aisles, "HELP! SOMEONE! ANYONE! WE NEED TO STOP THEM! THEY'LL KILL EVERYONE HERE!" Customers leapt out of her way as she stormed to the front counter and started screaming at the cashier. She looked crazy. "THEY'RE COMING! THEY'RE COMING! QUICK, WE ALL NEED TO HIDE!!!" She screamed at him
"Ma'am, please calm down," He said in a low voice. "Can you tell me who is coming?"
"T-T-THE MIDNIGHT MEN!"
"The what?"
"THE MIDNIGHT MEN! THEY'RE COMING! THEY'LL FIND ME!"
"Okay, just stay calm. Where are they?"
"THEY WERE IN THE BUILDING! THEY WERE IN THERE WITH ME! THIRTY OF THEM! I ESCAPED THOUGH! I CRAWLED UNDER THE FENCE AND RAN!"
"Ummm..." The poor cashier had no idea what to say. There were now about fifty customers listing to the conversation, trying to figure out what was going on and everyone was thinking the same thing. Had she escaped from the looney bin? Everyone just stood there staring at the crazy lady at the front counter.
"Come on!" May shouted, "Do something already!"
"Okay, um, I'm going to call the police..." The cashier said nervously.
"Police? No, we need the army! The Midnight Men are demons! My son killed one and now they want to take over the world! They were holding me captive! They killed my friends and stuffed their bodies with candle wax!!!" May shouted.
"Okay, so, um... Let's see what the police can do to help you..."

One Piece: The Elder Twin
(Previously known as Being Luffy isn't Lucky) An utterly random person comes to their senses to find out that they're being dangled by their legs, not to mention that they feel some slight vertigo. Upon realisation, they discover that they've become... ahem, I mean they share a body with the one known as Monkey D. Luffy and they also have no idea who they are themselves! The one thing they do know? They used to be an absolute loner. (EDIT: So... a few months later and I come back to this and read like a few chapters. Only to realize the absolute rubbish the story and everything has become. There was many needlessly developed things that just waste chapters and don't even develop anything. The fiction's Mary Sue was horrendously developed. I'm just repeating myself to try and convey how terrible it developed... like seriously. IF I were to update the fiction again I would be thinking of improved concepts and ways to present everything which would contradict the entire way I previously presented everything.)
