INVASION
ACT 1
New York Times Square year 20XX New Year's Eve
I was standing around a swarm of people waiting for my girlfriend, who though it would be fun to stand around and freeze next to drunk hobos to celebrate new years eve, After waiting for a little while, I spotted her. She didn't seem to be having fun when a man in a Spiderboy costume threw up near her through his mask, I grabbed her hand and we went to the real gathering point where a friend of ours is hosting a party in his apartment complex, after walking for a while I decided to break the silence and said
???: I told yo…
Angelica: I know it was stupid stop rubbing it in my face thank you FOR REMINDING ME THAT IT WAS STUPID TO…..
??? : Alright alright i get it lets go, I know a restaurant on our way so you can get rid of the puke on your shoes.
I honestly wanted to say more but what is done is done, as we were walking down the street at least people did not recognize us yet, soon after walking near the restaurant my thoughts came to bite me as a swarm of people gathered around us
With their phones out and senseless screams that make me go back to my old ways, I really should have talked this out with angie again.
***
About me, i am famous or should I say infamous for two reasons.
I came from a wealthy family, my father was a famous footballer who became a legend for carrying japan to the world cup finals 12 years ago unfortunately they didn't win but that is what got him all the deals that is until he lost his leg in a terrorist attack done by country called herathia when I was with him at my 7th birthday, though his career wasn't that long lasting 7 years he still accumulated a lot of wealth through his contract and marketing deals, my mom also is the face of a fashion conglomerate and is also the daughter of the CEO, i didn't have any other siblings thankfully because the reason im famous besides coming from that family is because when I was a child my family and I got kidnapped by a human trafficking gang and it made national news.
2 weeks after our disappearance a 38 hour long video got uploaded on kyotube where it featured the horrible things we went through… well most of us cause my dad was a dead for a couple of days before they dug his grave and brought his corpse to us, the video somehow lasted for 18 hours before it got deleted, didn't help that it had 110 million views and 36 million downloads, they issued an apology stating that they were hacked but that really doesn't make sense coming from a multi billion dollar company.
My family really fucked with some sick bastards and I was a victim of that, to this day the looks I get from some sick indiviuals makes my blood boil.
The other and minor reason that totally gets overshadowed by the previous one is because i was a prodigy who completed high school at the age of 9 and became a fully-fledged surgeon at the age of 20, my story inspired a lot of people when it got documented, About how brave I am for pushing through after what happened and how I wanted to help save people, but it is all lies, I ruined more lives than I saved and I saved a lot of lives during my 2 years as a surgeon, you really can't walk out of something like that unscathed, If not for my grandma helping me get back on my feet when I was younger and my girlfriend I would have never even thought about walking down a 'good path', I will never forgive and I will never forget.
It is hard even though I saved more than 44 lives I couldn't care less if they died i always feel like a hypocrite, even if i saved 1 million lives I can still feel the blood on my hands for every innocent person I killed, Its not even guilt that Im feeling it's the fake righteousness that makes me sick to my stomach and every time I think about it I feel like falling back, honestly I wish things were different and i died with my mother back then, my angie doesn't know the severity of what I had done, she knows im involved in a 'accidental' hit and run cause it made the news but my grandma knows and still says I can fix what I have done.
***
After pushing through the crowd for a little bit the security guards of the restaurant came to our rescue and stopped the crowd from going inside the establishment, that is what I call rich privilege, We told them we just need the restroom and didn't really need a table, I know If I said we needed a table they are going to kick someone out and put us in their place, I know because that is what happened last time Angie stepped on dog poop and we went to the same restaurant and her fatass suddenly craved a carbonara with a side of fried shrimp.
After 10 minutes she finally came out and said
Angelica: I don't know why but im suddenly craving a carb….
???: thank you for your hospitality we are leaving.
I waved to the server attending to us and gave a mask to angie and told her we are leaving through a different entrance and take the long walk to the apartment, she tried to protest saying its cold outside and we should just call a taxi but i simply told her no and we started walking, I already told her we are too rich to be walking in the cold and her planning was horrendous but she didn't listen, you reap what you sow, After walking and chatting for awhile an earthquake of what I believe magnitude 7 hit the whole city.
ACT 2
While the earthquake was happening, I told angie to stay away from the buildings and thank god I was right all the people who went to the buildings got trapped and crushed you could see a stream of blood going down the street 5 minutes after the earth stopped shaking, the streets that were full of people lost half of them and you could hear cries and screams of pain and agony encompassing the city, at the same time helicopters and with loud speakers started announcing as the city listened intently looking for information about what was happening.
Helicopter speaker: New York is undergoing an invasion I repeat we are undergoing an invation seek shelter in the stable looking building stay of the streets the enemies will arrive on foot in 8 minutes I repeat seek shelter in buildings you have 8 minutes.
Silence and confusion appeared in everyone's face as they are digesting the information that laid before them, what are they saying? Was a bomb dropped? What does that have to do with the earthquake? Will we die? Who is the enemy? Russia? China? Herathia? While everyone was processing the information I remained calm inside of my heart I knew some bullshit is gonna happen and everything was gonna go to shit, obviously not to this degree but still i made sure to always be prepared, this is why after what happened when i was a kid I never really cared about anyone in particular and that is also why I pushed away my uncle who saved me from the gang and my grandma, that is why I never really love angie all the way through just enough if something happened be it break up or dying i can move on after an hour, but don't get me wrong that doesn't mean I will ditch her and leave her to die, i will make sure we both survive as best as i can and would never sacrifice anyone who helped me become who i am.
as soon as the helicopter said that we are undergoing an invasion I grabbed angie who seem to be shocked and confused and carried her to our friends apartment giving us a 1 minute and 42 seconds head start before everyone started screaming and chaos ensued, the reason why we are going to his apartment was because if by some miracle nothing fell down the basement I can get access to my survival van that I spent a stupid amount of wealth that can give batboy a run for his money loaded with a hybrid engine that can run with both electricity and gas, and money and guns that can last for atleast a few months.
We arrived at the building still standing and my friend waving at me from the rooftop his name was henry he was mate we went to the same medical school together and he felt awkward about being a friend with someone 4 years younger than him so everyone called him pedohenry for awhile and by everyone…honestly it was just me.
He opened the door with joy on his face but that didn't last long because..
Henry: thank goodness you are ok what the hell was that did you hear the….
???: yeah I missed you too there is no time order all the security in the building to bar all the windows and the doors in our section there is no time HURRY UP WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT MY FACE LIKE A DUMBASS
I screamed because it was just that urgent there was no time
Thankfully all the 10 security guards around us listened to me and started barricading the 6 doors and the windows that were covering the ground level it took them 13 minutes to somewhat do a good job we went to the roof top to see how things were going down the street and Henry spotted something from far away
Henry: look there are people running our way what should we do?
This is what I liked about henry when he didn't know what was going on he didn't listen to his emotions and tried to be as reasonable as he can he always listens to others suggestions before making a move.
???: its too late they are running from something look behind them
Henry tries his best to look at what I was pointing….
Henry: What in the FUCK IS THAT?
"Angie came up the stairs, trying to see what the commotion was, and she wished she had not seen anything. Approximately a five-minute run away, there was a one-eyed, 25-foot tall humanoid. In his hand was a sword as tall as six feet, which he was swinging at the people running at his feet. I noticed he looked gassed out after chasing the poor people; despite his size and reach, it was still possible to outrun him. He did not seem to be that fast; I believed he was running at a pace of 25 miles per hour, but his cardio was not up to par. Since he had one large eye, it was easy to blind him with a single shot from a handgun or a fully automatic rifle if you were panicking. In the few seconds that we spotted the abomination, I came to this conclusion.
"Henry: I will go down to the guests and tell them to go the the 3rd floor and hide in the rooms and not to make any sound you do your thing.
This is why I chose to be friends with him, while I was making plans on how to subdue the one eyed humanoid he made a plan at the same time to make sure it does not come to us and spot us
Angie: I will go down and try to calm the guests most of them are my friends hopefully they do not panic and see that thing
That's my angie she tries to help the best she can.
Henry: what are you planning you dickhead?
???: I will go down the basement and try to secure an escape for the three of us
Henry: three? My grandma is here man
???: screw that old bitch she is dead weight
Henry and angie: HEYYY!!!
???: I WAS JOKING DAMN GO DO YOUR THING
God what a bunch of snowflakes
