The Chronicles of Joshua (Click to View)
Mourning
In the mid-summer time a young boy crept out of his home and peered out into the sky. He daydreamed about all the time and wonders he had fantasized about. He peered from under his coat to daydream in the middle of the flowing sky till he sensed the shades of his next door neighbors window’s go up. He looked at his peculiar watch which had been dropped by a man with a very cryptic appearance. He laid back to relax for a moment and covered the coat over him.
Joshua felt the cold air run up his skin which made him feel goose-bumps, the ground was the only thing he could grasp onto when this happened. Now this is what he usually did to stop the cold in the mourning. The cold but smooth grass ran through his fingers covering what was left of it blocking the rest of that cold breeze. He started trying to rest again but knew he couldn’t. The sun rose but was blocked by the clouds which made the breeze feel worse. It didn’t even feel like summer, like it used to be from the other years he’d been outside in summer. Joshua dragged what seemed to be some sort of coat and brought it over his head for protection against the cold mourning breeze.
He finally got up because his feet were just to cold from sleeping late at night getting up and cracking his back made a good sensation in his spine, yet another chill ran down his skin, which stunned him for a moment. He remembered that there was a nice home in the horizon, and he imagined a blurry house in the distance, and that house was his. Of coarse it wasn’t because when he rubbed all the sand out of his eyes it was gone. This really came to him. His mother and father were fighting and he felt like he was in the middle of it. Everywhere they went it always seemed like both of them were unhappy whether they went to a park, carnival, and even at the local grocery store where they used to go every week to buy food.
Joshua always lined up first for free samples - he was usually the first one there when they went shopping. He loved food it was his savory addiction. He concealed his pleasure usually in his room with drawings he was also pleased with. His drawings were plain and simple not really much to look at since he was only little and all that. Nobody really expected much out of him. As he got older he soon came to realize that he was losing his parents. His craving for food increased to something more than just the pleasure of it.
Joshua was hungry he was always hungry but his slim fourteen year old body never gave away. His peers sometimes wondered why he was never fat like most people who eat as much as he did. He always felt hungry because he felt empty but never seemed to fill it quite as good as when he was a younger. Now he couldn’t feel a thing since he was alone but at times he was always aware of being lonely but of coarse when he was hungry there was a place he could go to. Food for Others a food shelter that Joshua always stayed close to when he needed too.
One day his father took a restraining order against his mother. Now Joshua knew this wasn’t going to end well and as he could see his mom refused to hand him over. Depression had misery had invaded the fun loving boy. Two months had passed by and he still was eating the same Potato Chips - that he had stacked up in his room. He soon lost his interest in drawing little doodles all over his sketch pad. Joshua didn’t know what was happening at that time everyone made such a big deal out of everything, wherever they went.
The next day his mom took Joshua by the wrist and was pulled along into the minivan. His mom rode up to the side of the curb next to where they lived but not close enough to be seen by any of the neighbors “Please stay here, honey. Mommy will be right back…” and with that she gave him a kiss, after waiting what seemed like an hour in the car he couldn’t handle it much longer and planned to run away for all he cared. He thought that would stop the fight and bring more attention to him instead. He knew he would hear about it later but dared anyway to risk it.
He got out of the car slammed the door behind him and rushed back home to get his stuff. When he got home he felt like this should be rushed so he took out his sleeping bag, a flashlight, his backpack, his dads coat (he wouldn’t really need it anymore since the right of the sleeve was torn out). He thought he had everything but he remembered he was hungry again, so brought home two pop tarts to save the trip to go back home again as planned. He also brought his switch blade knife the one he countlessly kept on spinning in the air for fun when he was locked into his room, this was just a concept because he was scared to go out in the middle of the night by himself in the woods. As he was walking he heard an overwhelming burst of fire behind him, he immediately turned around to see his house in flames. Joshua just couldn’t help but stare for a long time.
[Here is what you didn’t know]
Fortunately, he saved his own life when this happened. Unfortunately, his parents were presumed dead after the incident. Supposedly, his mom must have came back to the house to find her son but never did and soon both parents were trapped in the scorching fire. There Joshua left a couple of papers to fit in his backpack next to the oven which was in fact on! The papers burned and fell in the trash. No one realized what had started that huge massive fire in the first place. It seemed last week his dad was filling a carton of gasoline in his car… The place suddenly burst with a blaze of fire.
With no where to go (which was not a good idea at all…) he turned and took most of the belongings in his house which most of them were burned by now. No one saw him get in or get out. This boy was not smart, well you couldn’t blame him he was still a child when this happened. Now at the age of fourteen he wandered around place to place seeking shelter. He knew he couldn’t leave. He didn’t know anywhere to go from there on in and didn’t really know anybody because his parents kept him isolated from the rest of the world.
Who knows - he thought to himself. If he turned himself in they would have to put him off for adoption or foster care. Joshua never wanted to image himself in that position. The thought of having to replace his parents would utterly sicken him. Nobody in right mind could take that from him. If it was to wander about alone he could manage. As long as he would never forget them this way.
************************************************************************
Pursuit
Well, he packed up the rest of his stuff that was left scattered on the dried-up ground. The cold wind blew in his face and it was enough to get him exhausted but awake. The sensation on his face made him jerk up for a moment, he covered himself with the long coat he was just sleeping with. He jumped on the pavement and dashed all the way to the other side, there were no cars to slow him down. The cold just kept on getting inside his clothes and he sensed the presence of the overwhelming cold prickling onto his skin.
I better get closer to another shelter, he thought to himself. So off he went, onto another driveway. As he was walking, he didn’t know that the front of his right-shoe was torn open when suddenly he stepped off the sidewalk and into a puddle of filthy water. The sock inside his wet shoe stuck on his bare foot as it made a bulging squeaky sound as he walked down the street. At this scene he quickly took off his shoe, sat on the side of the curb, and inspected it for further analysis. He immediately found the hole but found other tiny bristles that he soon found out made his skin irritate.
He walked around the block and noticed a squirrel biting a nut. This amused him so remembering how cute they were scratching there fur and all. Joshua loved almost every single animal he could gaze his eyes upon. He remembered when a guy let him pet his dog, he liked how the smooth fur rubbed against his moist fingers & how it’s tongue came out panting. Noticing another squirrel, Joshua stared at both of them at a safe viewpoint. The other one suddenly attacked the other and as the both scampered up the tree. Joshua left.
After walking for what seemed like a whole days worth of walking to his place where he grew up in. The sewer was where he chucked pebbles off that bounced off each rock and into the stream. A flashback streaked through his mind of how relentless he was of going there almost every mourning of feeling tired and drowsy, it felt like nobody cared about his existence, he sometimes could feel his heart pulsing and glanced back at the settled stream flowing into the narrowed rocks. There he could forget and clear his mind for the day. And there he was again turning around and looking at the nothing that used to be his home.
He sat down alongside the wall and preceded to throw some pebbles into the standing water. He smirked back down at the stream and threw another one. He took a big breath and slumped upright, hearing a faint pant behind him he turned around in a perplexed way, suddenly out of the corner of his eyes it pounced on him. Startled and fumbled he got up and brushed himself noticing a cute little face that dragged along his coat. It was a dog, a very small dog. It was mostly black but streaked with thin brown fur but something about him was a little different.
“Hey!”, without warning, the dog swiftly scampered down the block where a car nearly hit him. Joshua dashed to the other side to get his coat back. As Joshua nearly caught up to him he immediately scurried under a neighbors hole in the fence. Joshua stopped for a moment, the fence was taller than him but then again his coat was on the other side. He jumped up pulling his weight on top of the fencing, I never been over a fence before, he thought. He saw the little dog just sitting there, as he came down the first thing he did was grab part of his coats sleeve, the dog growled as he tugged as well. Suddenly, the dog dropped the coat and made Joshua plunge toward the ground. The dog yelped and started to get out quickly the way he came out.
Fine but Puzzled, Joshua examined his coat for a tear. Aware that somebody was behind leaving a huge shadow above him. He turned around, it was a man with a cup of coffee in his left hand and a newspaper on his right in a blue bathrobe. The man had almost no hair on his head and he didn’t look like he had shaved in awhile.
“Get Out!” he yelled out, “You have no right to be here, go on get out…” he continued. Joshua quickly jumped on to the guys patio table & leaped over the fence. The patio obviously fell on the floor and the glass broke. “What the Hell did you just do that for…?”he called out, “Come back here you little brat and apologize for what you just did…” he yelled again. Joshua was afraid of what would happen next without warning a newspaper flung out over the fence and whacked Joshua on top of his head. The man continued to curse at Joshua.
Joshua grabbed the newspaper and stuck it inside his backpack for further use and pursued the little dog which waited for him a couple houses away. As soon as Joshua was within a few feet from him, the dog ran away. Joshua stopped and hesitated for a moment, not knowing if he should chase him for what all that trouble it caused him so far was worth it but he gave it a shot to try anyhow since he noticed it didn’t have a collar. So he walked around the house as cautious as he could be, there he peeked around the corner, he couldn’t find the little puppy, he had gone but where? All hope seemed lost to make a friend, he slumped against the brick tiles of the house and sat down.
Resting for a few minutes, watching the sun settle down he would need to find shelter soon. He got up and decided to settle beside the stream and into the sewer. The hole was big enough to crawl through, if he had a skateboard it would be perfect for gliding through the tunnel. Once he got to a place where the light was dim he settled down among the outer wall. He got out his backpack and out popped the little dog.
“Wow, you startled me there for a sec…” Joshua whispered and held onto him. “Promise me you won’t run away?” he whispered “okay…”.
After they both rested together. The little dog opened his eyes and barked out at the rushing filth coming out from the other hole. Tons of water was explosively flooding the entire tunnel. Trickled drops from the manhole flowed along with the stream. Some landed on Joshua who slowly woke up after the annoyance. Joshua snatched up the dog, and softly tucked him under the covers and over his head, and afterward they both slept.
************************************************************************
The Woods
An unpleasant licking was too much to take after a few hours of sleep. The rain had stopped overnight, so Joshua got up scratched his dog’s furry head, packed his stuff into his bag and set it aside and looked down through the tunnel.
“God, the walls are all sticky and wet…” Joshua hollered out through the tunnel that made a faint echo sound. “Well, I guess we’ll have to get out through the manhole…” he said to the dog. Joshua pushed upward and very slowly the manhole was lifted to the side, lots of particles of dirt fell from the side and fell inside the hole. “sh*t!” Joshua blunted out loud, a spider fell onto his jacket and so did the rest of the creepy crawlers that were unnoticed last night.
The dog barked around Joshua while they fell out one by one and crawled or jumped away. Joshua jumped out of the Manhole along dragging his stuff along and bent down to pick up his dog.
“Boy, I really have to give you a name or something, don’t I…?”, As they both headed out Joshua lead the way while his dog umm - wandered off? After walking for several countless minutes, he noticed that the dog wasn’t with him anymore. Retracing his steps as fast as he could to the last place they were together he was stumped he didn’t know where the hell the little mischievous dog went.
A thought came into mind, what if he went into the woods while I turned the other direction but where? He didn’t know exactly where the troublesome dog was up to or where he was but he ran to the other side of the street and into the woods. After an hour of looking Joshua was getting hungry. The only reason he was looking for him because he liked it in the first place. He grew fond of it anyways he was a stray - they both were. It didn’t seem like he had to go anywhere else so he thought it was time to visit the food shelter, so he walked back toward the street if he could find the street in the first place. Joshua was lost in the thick woods all alone by himself.
Knowing he wasn’t going to get that far ahead, or even the slightest idea of getting out, he knew that he didn’t even remember where he first came from. He set his stuff down and hung his foot up a branch of a tree. It was just like jumping over the fence except easier. He continued to climb till he could peer out of the rest of the leaves on the tree. He found out that he was close to the outer part of the city where a barbed wired fence blocked the whole other side.
“Wow, that’s really far then I remembered…” he said to himself, he carefully crawled down from one branch to the next and plunged the next twenty feet carelessly on the ground. Most of the leaves fell down with him as well, he quickly headed out where he assumed he would get out of the woods. As he was walking admiring the bright colored leaves on the trees, “This isn’t a bad place to stay - Augh!” The Dog jumped out on top of Joshua and was chasing a squirrel instead. “What the Heck…” and as fast as he could he tried to catch up to the dog.
Continuing to run after a period of time, shouting and calling the dog, he finally got fed up and knelt on the ground holding the cramped area on his chest, and looked out. Joshua took a deep breathe and walked slowly to find his dog. “God, where did that stupid dog, go…?”. He stopped and looked around and laid back against the tree to await the dog’s return but that was a stupid idea knowing the dog was very mischievous and sooner or later forget where he was. Walking around the corner of the tree he saw that the dog already had stopped, not for him but for the squirrel, the squirrel managed to get up the tree without the grasp of the dog, he continued to bark up the tree until Joshua picked him up tightly in his arms.
When there seemed like they were close to getting out of the forest, the little dog sniffed the air and looked around intently. “Bark!” “Ugh, no come back…”, the dog kicked out of his arms and dogged right for another squirrel. Joshua attempted yet another chase. Within a matter of seconds they were out of the woods & ended up in a child’s playground. Joshua tripped at a sudden disruption from the ground, a tree root that was hidden under the mulch made Joshua surprisingly hit the ground, face first.
A young beautiful girl his age giggled, she was sitting on a bench hands & legs folded, her hair was a dark brown and it moved as graceful as the evening wind as it went by, her face looked soft and smoother than his, and her eyes were dark green as lush. Her face had light freckles but she looked divine yet there was something about her that scared him a bit. Her eyes were very drawn to him and she stared intently at his, her malicious presence was one he could feel yet he couldn’t tell unless this was his instincts or his subconscious. Feeling foolish just gazing at her from were he was unintentionally he got up embarrassed and picked up his dog.
“Hi, my name is Melina…” she said, “Mine is Joshua…” he hesitated, the dog barked with enthusiasm. “You have a nice dog, what’s his name?” “Oh! I didn’t give him one yet…” he said. She paused for a brief moment “I noticed he doesn’t have a collar around his neck…?” she remarked “…why is that?” “He was a stray when I found him…”. “You can come over to my house to pick one up, I live just around the corner, over there…” she pointed out. “Ugh, that’s nice…?” “But I must really go, I’ll come by tomorrow…” I hadn’t eaten even from yesterday and my mouth is way too dry he told himself. “Well, come by soon, ok?” she asked. And with that, off they went on the same path toward the food shelter caring his dog, so that he wouldn’t run off again.
After a long tiring walk they cut a corner that led them to the back of the food shelter. They went around the side so they could get some food. He set his dog on the ground assuming he wouldn’t want to miss the food there. There was enough food to fill up a whole houseful but of course there was still way more than that. Since the people already knew who he was because of the frequent arrivals every mourning and night he would come.
A black man came out front and greeted him,
“How you doing man, you didn’t come over yesterday, what happened?”
“Awe, nothing much…”. “So, same thing as usual?” “Nope, I have something I want to show you, he picked the little dog up and placed him on the platform. “Wow, cool man…” he nudged Joshua and chuckled. “But I’m afraid we don’t give out dog food but I do have something he can have, wait here…”, when he got back he assured Joshua there was nothing left except “A bone, here…” he tossed it too Joshua, “That’s all I could fine but don’t worry I’ll make sure we’ll get some by tomorrow, I’ll get some later, ok?”
Joshua got up on the platform to get scraps of food that were still there in some of the boxes. The dog waited laying across the floor chewing and gnawing the left over meat that was hanging from the bone. Joshua packed some junk and stuffed that into his backpack and signaled the dog to come.
“Bye Joe!” Joshua waved back.
“Tell your dog to let him come with you. I don’t want to pick up his mess….” he chuckled. Joshua grabbed the dog by his arms and headed off into the night.
************************************************************************
Hostage
As night was getting nearer, Joshua hurried to find some shelter this time he would try the woods, he never went to sleep in the woods before. He remembered ever since he was little and ever since his parents died he always had the knack of surviving but in most places he had the fear of being kidnapped or even killed in the dark. He thought he got over that but the woods made him think otherwise. “Well, since were already here lets begin building a shelter.”, his dog could get the notion of what Joshua was up to, so it scurried around for some twigs to bring back with him.
They brought the twigs and branches to a tree that was crooked and held on a side of a tree. The crooked tree was obviously dead because the roots were shown and there were no leaves on that tree alone surprisingly it looked like it could hold. Joshua carefully placed each of his sticks onto the dead branches and took the rest of the twigs the dog found against the trunk and roots. After they finished it looked like a big tent on it’s side. There were gaps between the sticks that didn’t look right, if it was going to be cold or windy while he was resting, he wouldn’t get any sleep.
Joshua got up the tree that was supporting the dead one and plucked each of the leaves onto the ground. The dog was barking and running side to side as they fell on him and the ground. Joshua was planning to place the leaves between each stick so that way the cold and rain wouldn’t get in. He continued to pluck the branches and leaves off the tree, he continued doing this for several hours till night fell. As Joshua was placing each leaf inside the tent-like structure, he heard a noise inside the woods. He jerked his body around, his dog heard it too and growled.
“Sh! Shut up…” he whispered.
The dog went back into the tent and whimpered. Joshua leaned forward with a stick in his hand ready to jab anything in his path.
“Augh!” he fell backward when he saw what had jumped on top of him. The dog jumped right on top of Joshua’s chest to chaise the creature that had attacked him. Joshua got up but fell back down laughing in disbelief that it was a squirrel that had frightened him.
“Oh sh*t…!”
Something grabbed him in the shadows and then covered his mouth and dragged him along. He tried to kick and punch his way out but the man was holding his mouth and body so firm and tight he couldn’t get free. He even tried to bite the man’s hand off but it was no use. The man was wearing black leather gloves that made him loosen his teeth and tongue give up. It was no use but he had to try - he thought to himself. Then came a simple thought. The man made a muffled sound behind his teeth - the sounds of anguish feeling a twinge between his balls.
This was his chance. He loosened the mans grip and kicked out. However, the man was quick himself and suddenly jumped him. The man was still trying to regain his strength after the incident. The man - still on top of Joshua - leaned over and sucker punched him right across his face. Joshua’s head laid there unconscious on the grass. The man got up with a sigh of relief and dragged him along to his van.
The van door opened easily with a familiar faint sound that all car doors give off. The dog, hearing the sound, turned it’s head to find that there was a flash of white light coming not that far from where he was. The man started the van and was off - out of the woods. The dog quickly scampered as fast as his little paws could take him out of the woods. The chase was on and the dog could still see the van, it had stopped at a red light. The dog still managing to catch up dashed the last few feet.
Without realizing it, the light had turned green and so the van sped off. The dog panted and slowed down to a stop. The dog laid his head down on top of his paws exhausted and worn out. It made a slow whimper to itself that everything was going to be alright. It gazed at the van who was at a very far distance than the dog could ever make.
The van went over a speed-bump rocking Joshua back and forth. Joshua was still unconscious, he was still unaware of the events that were about to be sent forth to him. He was in a deep sleep. A very deep one…
************************************************************************
Escaping the Nightmare
Visions of past images of his mom and dad soared throughout his condensed thoughts. Suddenly a train of thought exploited a memory of light into his blind eyes of his. Joshua found himself on a warm summer’s day laying on the grass on a beach. The grass seemed to be softer than he remembered on his legs. A few whiffs of freedom from reality was sure pleasant.
He could hear something familiar in the distance. He opened his eyes and leaned upward and got up. He noticed he was wearing his summer shirt and shorts, instead of his dirty old clothing he was wearing not too long ago. He was also wearing his favorite sandals that had a somewhat Hawaiian feeling to it. Maybe it was because of the furry straps that was around his toes and the fine thick rugged weaving that held his foot. The one thing he most liked about shoes and sandals was that he always checked the bottom of them to feel the texture. It always occurred to him that he wore thick rugged shoes - same with the sandals. Just thinking about this made him feel uncomfortably hungry. He had to think of other things besides food.
He could still hear voices not too far from where he was. In fact, to him it only seemed like they were right in front of him the whole time he was resting in the sun. He got up and rest assured they were his parents. They were dancing in a circle hugging each other as they leapt off the sand. This wasn’t like them at all. They used to fight and made selfish rude conversations with each other; that’s all he ever remembered about them. Yet, part of him knew that this would have had to happen, if he had ever loved them so much as he did right now. He went over to hug them but suddenly he fell onto a heap of sand.
He leaned back on his elbows and stared back in interest. He watched them run around, past him. Now something else caught his attention, in the corner of his right eye he saw what appeared to be his childhood self. Joshua stared in awe at himself. He suddenly got frustrated with it all. He knelt down toward his former self.
“Why aren’t you look at them? Don’t you see what fun they’re having? Just look you freaking dumb a**! Look! Look…”, Joshua grabbed hold of the child and cried. Then he looked at himself. He suddenly saw, before his eyes, it turned into sand. He looked around the beach turned to sand. The seagulls dropped and turned into sand. Everyone else around him turned into sand. All that was left was the miraculous sun.
Joshua got up off the sand and looked around. All he saw were heaps of sand. He looked down and kicked at the sand. A wisp of sand was caught by a sudden soft wind that blew the opposite direction, behind Joshua. Joshua knelt back down holding his knees in front of him, rocking back and forth.
“This could have been prevented…”
“What?” Joshua turned his head slowly around. It was all silent again.
“It was all your fault, your dad wouldn’t have died if you hadn’t done that stupid careless thing, your mom wouldn’t have died if you hadn’t left…” constant negative thoughts echoed the winds and soon the sand picked up. It whirled around him. Joshua’s tears began to form. The voices pushed harder, all around him. Joshua screamed.
“Just stop it! Stop it, leave me alone…”, he fell to the ground crying. His mind cleared up and the sand was gone.
“I wish somebody was here”, he sniffled. He thought of Melina he met at the park and wondered if she could comfort him. His thoughts raced and formed into his mind. He fantasized that he and she were hugging in a beautiful place of their own. Somewhere where they wouldn’t even have to care about life. He wanted to be away from it all.
Pink blossoms fell from the sky as he imagined in some anime video’s he had watched. His clothes were as fine as any prince or rich boy would have in the world. He wore a fine black tuxedo and she wore a stunning white dress. There they entered the palace. He could see the sparkly ball gown she wore made the whole palace fill with light and made the rest of the room shut down by night.
There they danced elegantly for a few minutes around a circle under a spotlight. Both had closed their eyes just for a brief moment to kiss. Joshua squinted with disgust. He was astonished that she had the slimiest lips he had ever touched. He suddenly felt uncomfortable knowing that his mind was playing tricks on him again.
He opened his right eye to find that a snake-like parasite was swerving around his body. Its head only consisted of a drooling mouth with jagged small teeth and a body full of slime and splintered hair lines between each segment. Joshua felt its enormous unpleasant stench that made him choke and cough. The very air itself was heavy and gloomy. The foul creature roused around him tightly and suddenly lunged toward Joshua. Everything shattered into bright light glass. Joshua fell abruptly on a pile of garbage.
Joshua groaned as he lifted his body into a slouch then everything seemed fixated on him alone. Junkyard dogs surrounded him. They growled ferociously even the air was filled with a sneer. The hounds stared at him continued to growl and circled around him. Joshua stood up feeling petrified only looking around dazzled at the sight of it all.
Something caught their attention a few of the hounds chased what seemed to be his dog. It didn’t seemed alarmed, scared, or worried. The hounds stopped once it entered the mountainous pile of waste. It wasn’t long before it had reached Joshua through the top piles of cans, happy to seem him. But something suddenly startled Joshua that made him slip off a bit.
It started to morph and grew bigger and uglier. His dog had turned into one of them and sprang out at his face. Joshua quickly shielded himself from the dog and was hurled downward into the air along with the dog. Joshua realized that the pile seemed to be taller than he thought it was. Both dog and boy smashed right on top of a junkyard car’s windshield. Joshua remained still because of pain gnawing at his backside.
The dog appeared to be shaky but then returned into its unaltered state of anger and slowly edged itself toward him. Joshua realized what was happening. The hounds howled and death lurking near by. Joshua leaned unsteadily away from the dog. He couldn’t help but look down at the hounds which were ready to rip the living day lights out of him. The car screeched and hissed from the rubble holding it. A wire snapped!
Suddenly, a whole pile on top of the car was forced downward on top of him and the dog. The car was taken with them along with the landslide coming and crashing down on everything bellow it. It finally landed to a halt as pieces of metal and waste fell or rolled off the heap. Joshua head popped up with a dirty trench coat on his head. He immediately threw the disgusting junk off if him. Seeing the dog emerge from under the pile he noticed the other blood-thirsty hounds ready to rip him apart piece by piece.
He quickly regained his cowardice grabbed the pile of junk around him and jumped right in to conceal himself. The pack of evil dogs rushed along with their noisy barking. Joshua knowing hiding wasn’t any good so jumped right back out and struggled to get back on the mountain of rubbish. Before he could even manage to hightail it, the dog managed to cut deep into his leg. Joshua screamed for a moment and fell flat on his face, being dragged out on the bare ground.
Joshua’s eyes were closed and filled with soggy tears. He noticed that the terrifying beasts weren’t feasting on him. He turned his frail body around and saw a shack full of light. The main door burst out. Death had taken a new form in his eyes. It was a man dressed in all black, leaving a trail of foggy smoke from his trailer...
...sorry thats the furthest i have gone so far...
I will finnish this later in a different thread...
In the mid-summer time a young boy crept out of his home and peered out into the sky. He daydreamed about all the time and wonders he had fantasized about. He peered from under his coat to daydream in the middle of the flowing sky till he sensed the shades of his next door neighbors window’s go up. He looked at his peculiar watch which had been dropped by a man with a very cryptic appearance. He laid back to relax for a moment and covered the coat over him.
Joshua felt the cold air run up his skin which made him feel goose-bumps, the ground was the only thing he could grasp onto when this happened. Now this is what he usually did to stop the cold in the mourning. The cold but smooth grass ran through his fingers covering what was left of it blocking the rest of that cold breeze. He started trying to rest again but knew he couldn’t. The sun rose but was blocked by the clouds which made the breeze feel worse. It didn’t even feel like summer, like it used to be from the other years he’d been outside in summer. Joshua dragged what seemed to be some sort of coat and brought it over his head for protection against the cold mourning breeze.
He finally got up because his feet were just to cold from sleeping late at night getting up and cracking his back made a good sensation in his spine, yet another chill ran down his skin, which stunned him for a moment. He remembered that there was a nice home in the horizon, and he imagined a blurry house in the distance, and that house was his. Of coarse it wasn’t because when he rubbed all the sand out of his eyes it was gone. This really came to him. His mother and father were fighting and he felt like he was in the middle of it. Everywhere they went it always seemed like both of them were unhappy whether they went to a park, carnival, and even at the local grocery store where they used to go every week to buy food.
Joshua always lined up first for free samples - he was usually the first one there when they went shopping. He loved food it was his savory addiction. He concealed his pleasure usually in his room with drawings he was also pleased with. His drawings were plain and simple not really much to look at since he was only little and all that. Nobody really expected much out of him. As he got older he soon came to realize that he was losing his parents. His craving for food increased to something more than just the pleasure of it.
Joshua was hungry he was always hungry but his slim fourteen year old body never gave away. His peers sometimes wondered why he was never fat like most people who eat as much as he did. He always felt hungry because he felt empty but never seemed to fill it quite as good as when he was a younger. Now he couldn’t feel a thing since he was alone but at times he was always aware of being lonely but of coarse when he was hungry there was a place he could go to. Food for Others a food shelter that Joshua always stayed close to when he needed too.
One day his father took a restraining order against his mother. Now Joshua knew this wasn’t going to end well and as he could see his mom refused to hand him over. Depression had misery had invaded the fun loving boy. Two months had passed by and he still was eating the same Potato Chips - that he had stacked up in his room. He soon lost his interest in drawing little doodles all over his sketch pad. Joshua didn’t know what was happening at that time everyone made such a big deal out of everything, wherever they went.
The next day his mom took Joshua by the wrist and was pulled along into the minivan. His mom rode up to the side of the curb next to where they lived but not close enough to be seen by any of the neighbors “Please stay here, honey. Mommy will be right back…” and with that she gave him a kiss, after waiting what seemed like an hour in the car he couldn’t handle it much longer and planned to run away for all he cared. He thought that would stop the fight and bring more attention to him instead. He knew he would hear about it later but dared anyway to risk it.
He got out of the car slammed the door behind him and rushed back home to get his stuff. When he got home he felt like this should be rushed so he took out his sleeping bag, a flashlight, his backpack, his dads coat (he wouldn’t really need it anymore since the right of the sleeve was torn out). He thought he had everything but he remembered he was hungry again, so brought home two pop tarts to save the trip to go back home again as planned. He also brought his switch blade knife the one he countlessly kept on spinning in the air for fun when he was locked into his room, this was just a concept because he was scared to go out in the middle of the night by himself in the woods. As he was walking he heard an overwhelming burst of fire behind him, he immediately turned around to see his house in flames. Joshua just couldn’t help but stare for a long time.
[Here is what you didn’t know]
Fortunately, he saved his own life when this happened. Unfortunately, his parents were presumed dead after the incident. Supposedly, his mom must have came back to the house to find her son but never did and soon both parents were trapped in the scorching fire. There Joshua left a couple of papers to fit in his backpack next to the oven which was in fact on! The papers burned and fell in the trash. No one realized what had started that huge massive fire in the first place. It seemed last week his dad was filling a carton of gasoline in his car… The place suddenly burst with a blaze of fire.
With no where to go (which was not a good idea at all…) he turned and took most of the belongings in his house which most of them were burned by now. No one saw him get in or get out. This boy was not smart, well you couldn’t blame him he was still a child when this happened. Now at the age of fourteen he wandered around place to place seeking shelter. He knew he couldn’t leave. He didn’t know anywhere to go from there on in and didn’t really know anybody because his parents kept him isolated from the rest of the world.
Who knows - he thought to himself. If he turned himself in they would have to put him off for adoption or foster care. Joshua never wanted to image himself in that position. The thought of having to replace his parents would utterly sicken him. Nobody in right mind could take that from him. If it was to wander about alone he could manage. As long as he would never forget them this way.
************************************************************************
Pursuit
Well, he packed up the rest of his stuff that was left scattered on the dried-up ground. The cold wind blew in his face and it was enough to get him exhausted but awake. The sensation on his face made him jerk up for a moment, he covered himself with the long coat he was just sleeping with. He jumped on the pavement and dashed all the way to the other side, there were no cars to slow him down. The cold just kept on getting inside his clothes and he sensed the presence of the overwhelming cold prickling onto his skin.
I better get closer to another shelter, he thought to himself. So off he went, onto another driveway. As he was walking, he didn’t know that the front of his right-shoe was torn open when suddenly he stepped off the sidewalk and into a puddle of filthy water. The sock inside his wet shoe stuck on his bare foot as it made a bulging squeaky sound as he walked down the street. At this scene he quickly took off his shoe, sat on the side of the curb, and inspected it for further analysis. He immediately found the hole but found other tiny bristles that he soon found out made his skin irritate.
He walked around the block and noticed a squirrel biting a nut. This amused him so remembering how cute they were scratching there fur and all. Joshua loved almost every single animal he could gaze his eyes upon. He remembered when a guy let him pet his dog, he liked how the smooth fur rubbed against his moist fingers & how it’s tongue came out panting. Noticing another squirrel, Joshua stared at both of them at a safe viewpoint. The other one suddenly attacked the other and as the both scampered up the tree. Joshua left.
After walking for what seemed like a whole days worth of walking to his place where he grew up in. The sewer was where he chucked pebbles off that bounced off each rock and into the stream. A flashback streaked through his mind of how relentless he was of going there almost every mourning of feeling tired and drowsy, it felt like nobody cared about his existence, he sometimes could feel his heart pulsing and glanced back at the settled stream flowing into the narrowed rocks. There he could forget and clear his mind for the day. And there he was again turning around and looking at the nothing that used to be his home.
He sat down alongside the wall and preceded to throw some pebbles into the standing water. He smirked back down at the stream and threw another one. He took a big breath and slumped upright, hearing a faint pant behind him he turned around in a perplexed way, suddenly out of the corner of his eyes it pounced on him. Startled and fumbled he got up and brushed himself noticing a cute little face that dragged along his coat. It was a dog, a very small dog. It was mostly black but streaked with thin brown fur but something about him was a little different.
“Hey!”, without warning, the dog swiftly scampered down the block where a car nearly hit him. Joshua dashed to the other side to get his coat back. As Joshua nearly caught up to him he immediately scurried under a neighbors hole in the fence. Joshua stopped for a moment, the fence was taller than him but then again his coat was on the other side. He jumped up pulling his weight on top of the fencing, I never been over a fence before, he thought. He saw the little dog just sitting there, as he came down the first thing he did was grab part of his coats sleeve, the dog growled as he tugged as well. Suddenly, the dog dropped the coat and made Joshua plunge toward the ground. The dog yelped and started to get out quickly the way he came out.
Fine but Puzzled, Joshua examined his coat for a tear. Aware that somebody was behind leaving a huge shadow above him. He turned around, it was a man with a cup of coffee in his left hand and a newspaper on his right in a blue bathrobe. The man had almost no hair on his head and he didn’t look like he had shaved in awhile.
“Get Out!” he yelled out, “You have no right to be here, go on get out…” he continued. Joshua quickly jumped on to the guys patio table & leaped over the fence. The patio obviously fell on the floor and the glass broke. “What the Hell did you just do that for…?”he called out, “Come back here you little brat and apologize for what you just did…” he yelled again. Joshua was afraid of what would happen next without warning a newspaper flung out over the fence and whacked Joshua on top of his head. The man continued to curse at Joshua.
Joshua grabbed the newspaper and stuck it inside his backpack for further use and pursued the little dog which waited for him a couple houses away. As soon as Joshua was within a few feet from him, the dog ran away. Joshua stopped and hesitated for a moment, not knowing if he should chase him for what all that trouble it caused him so far was worth it but he gave it a shot to try anyhow since he noticed it didn’t have a collar. So he walked around the house as cautious as he could be, there he peeked around the corner, he couldn’t find the little puppy, he had gone but where? All hope seemed lost to make a friend, he slumped against the brick tiles of the house and sat down.
Resting for a few minutes, watching the sun settle down he would need to find shelter soon. He got up and decided to settle beside the stream and into the sewer. The hole was big enough to crawl through, if he had a skateboard it would be perfect for gliding through the tunnel. Once he got to a place where the light was dim he settled down among the outer wall. He got out his backpack and out popped the little dog.
“Wow, you startled me there for a sec…” Joshua whispered and held onto him. “Promise me you won’t run away?” he whispered “okay…”.
After they both rested together. The little dog opened his eyes and barked out at the rushing filth coming out from the other hole. Tons of water was explosively flooding the entire tunnel. Trickled drops from the manhole flowed along with the stream. Some landed on Joshua who slowly woke up after the annoyance. Joshua snatched up the dog, and softly tucked him under the covers and over his head, and afterward they both slept.
************************************************************************
The Woods
An unpleasant licking was too much to take after a few hours of sleep. The rain had stopped overnight, so Joshua got up scratched his dog’s furry head, packed his stuff into his bag and set it aside and looked down through the tunnel.
“God, the walls are all sticky and wet…” Joshua hollered out through the tunnel that made a faint echo sound. “Well, I guess we’ll have to get out through the manhole…” he said to the dog. Joshua pushed upward and very slowly the manhole was lifted to the side, lots of particles of dirt fell from the side and fell inside the hole. “sh*t!” Joshua blunted out loud, a spider fell onto his jacket and so did the rest of the creepy crawlers that were unnoticed last night.
The dog barked around Joshua while they fell out one by one and crawled or jumped away. Joshua jumped out of the Manhole along dragging his stuff along and bent down to pick up his dog.
“Boy, I really have to give you a name or something, don’t I…?”, As they both headed out Joshua lead the way while his dog umm - wandered off? After walking for several countless minutes, he noticed that the dog wasn’t with him anymore. Retracing his steps as fast as he could to the last place they were together he was stumped he didn’t know where the hell the little mischievous dog went.
A thought came into mind, what if he went into the woods while I turned the other direction but where? He didn’t know exactly where the troublesome dog was up to or where he was but he ran to the other side of the street and into the woods. After an hour of looking Joshua was getting hungry. The only reason he was looking for him because he liked it in the first place. He grew fond of it anyways he was a stray - they both were. It didn’t seem like he had to go anywhere else so he thought it was time to visit the food shelter, so he walked back toward the street if he could find the street in the first place. Joshua was lost in the thick woods all alone by himself.
Knowing he wasn’t going to get that far ahead, or even the slightest idea of getting out, he knew that he didn’t even remember where he first came from. He set his stuff down and hung his foot up a branch of a tree. It was just like jumping over the fence except easier. He continued to climb till he could peer out of the rest of the leaves on the tree. He found out that he was close to the outer part of the city where a barbed wired fence blocked the whole other side.
“Wow, that’s really far then I remembered…” he said to himself, he carefully crawled down from one branch to the next and plunged the next twenty feet carelessly on the ground. Most of the leaves fell down with him as well, he quickly headed out where he assumed he would get out of the woods. As he was walking admiring the bright colored leaves on the trees, “This isn’t a bad place to stay - Augh!” The Dog jumped out on top of Joshua and was chasing a squirrel instead. “What the Heck…” and as fast as he could he tried to catch up to the dog.
Continuing to run after a period of time, shouting and calling the dog, he finally got fed up and knelt on the ground holding the cramped area on his chest, and looked out. Joshua took a deep breathe and walked slowly to find his dog. “God, where did that stupid dog, go…?”. He stopped and looked around and laid back against the tree to await the dog’s return but that was a stupid idea knowing the dog was very mischievous and sooner or later forget where he was. Walking around the corner of the tree he saw that the dog already had stopped, not for him but for the squirrel, the squirrel managed to get up the tree without the grasp of the dog, he continued to bark up the tree until Joshua picked him up tightly in his arms.
When there seemed like they were close to getting out of the forest, the little dog sniffed the air and looked around intently. “Bark!” “Ugh, no come back…”, the dog kicked out of his arms and dogged right for another squirrel. Joshua attempted yet another chase. Within a matter of seconds they were out of the woods & ended up in a child’s playground. Joshua tripped at a sudden disruption from the ground, a tree root that was hidden under the mulch made Joshua surprisingly hit the ground, face first.
A young beautiful girl his age giggled, she was sitting on a bench hands & legs folded, her hair was a dark brown and it moved as graceful as the evening wind as it went by, her face looked soft and smoother than his, and her eyes were dark green as lush. Her face had light freckles but she looked divine yet there was something about her that scared him a bit. Her eyes were very drawn to him and she stared intently at his, her malicious presence was one he could feel yet he couldn’t tell unless this was his instincts or his subconscious. Feeling foolish just gazing at her from were he was unintentionally he got up embarrassed and picked up his dog.
“Hi, my name is Melina…” she said, “Mine is Joshua…” he hesitated, the dog barked with enthusiasm. “You have a nice dog, what’s his name?” “Oh! I didn’t give him one yet…” he said. She paused for a brief moment “I noticed he doesn’t have a collar around his neck…?” she remarked “…why is that?” “He was a stray when I found him…”. “You can come over to my house to pick one up, I live just around the corner, over there…” she pointed out. “Ugh, that’s nice…?” “But I must really go, I’ll come by tomorrow…” I hadn’t eaten even from yesterday and my mouth is way too dry he told himself. “Well, come by soon, ok?” she asked. And with that, off they went on the same path toward the food shelter caring his dog, so that he wouldn’t run off again.
After a long tiring walk they cut a corner that led them to the back of the food shelter. They went around the side so they could get some food. He set his dog on the ground assuming he wouldn’t want to miss the food there. There was enough food to fill up a whole houseful but of course there was still way more than that. Since the people already knew who he was because of the frequent arrivals every mourning and night he would come.
A black man came out front and greeted him,
“How you doing man, you didn’t come over yesterday, what happened?”
“Awe, nothing much…”. “So, same thing as usual?” “Nope, I have something I want to show you, he picked the little dog up and placed him on the platform. “Wow, cool man…” he nudged Joshua and chuckled. “But I’m afraid we don’t give out dog food but I do have something he can have, wait here…”, when he got back he assured Joshua there was nothing left except “A bone, here…” he tossed it too Joshua, “That’s all I could fine but don’t worry I’ll make sure we’ll get some by tomorrow, I’ll get some later, ok?”
Joshua got up on the platform to get scraps of food that were still there in some of the boxes. The dog waited laying across the floor chewing and gnawing the left over meat that was hanging from the bone. Joshua packed some junk and stuffed that into his backpack and signaled the dog to come.
“Bye Joe!” Joshua waved back.
“Tell your dog to let him come with you. I don’t want to pick up his mess….” he chuckled. Joshua grabbed the dog by his arms and headed off into the night.
************************************************************************
Hostage
As night was getting nearer, Joshua hurried to find some shelter this time he would try the woods, he never went to sleep in the woods before. He remembered ever since he was little and ever since his parents died he always had the knack of surviving but in most places he had the fear of being kidnapped or even killed in the dark. He thought he got over that but the woods made him think otherwise. “Well, since were already here lets begin building a shelter.”, his dog could get the notion of what Joshua was up to, so it scurried around for some twigs to bring back with him.
They brought the twigs and branches to a tree that was crooked and held on a side of a tree. The crooked tree was obviously dead because the roots were shown and there were no leaves on that tree alone surprisingly it looked like it could hold. Joshua carefully placed each of his sticks onto the dead branches and took the rest of the twigs the dog found against the trunk and roots. After they finished it looked like a big tent on it’s side. There were gaps between the sticks that didn’t look right, if it was going to be cold or windy while he was resting, he wouldn’t get any sleep.
Joshua got up the tree that was supporting the dead one and plucked each of the leaves onto the ground. The dog was barking and running side to side as they fell on him and the ground. Joshua was planning to place the leaves between each stick so that way the cold and rain wouldn’t get in. He continued to pluck the branches and leaves off the tree, he continued doing this for several hours till night fell. As Joshua was placing each leaf inside the tent-like structure, he heard a noise inside the woods. He jerked his body around, his dog heard it too and growled.
“Sh! Shut up…” he whispered.
The dog went back into the tent and whimpered. Joshua leaned forward with a stick in his hand ready to jab anything in his path.
“Augh!” he fell backward when he saw what had jumped on top of him. The dog jumped right on top of Joshua’s chest to chaise the creature that had attacked him. Joshua got up but fell back down laughing in disbelief that it was a squirrel that had frightened him.
“Oh sh*t…!”
Something grabbed him in the shadows and then covered his mouth and dragged him along. He tried to kick and punch his way out but the man was holding his mouth and body so firm and tight he couldn’t get free. He even tried to bite the man’s hand off but it was no use. The man was wearing black leather gloves that made him loosen his teeth and tongue give up. It was no use but he had to try - he thought to himself. Then came a simple thought. The man made a muffled sound behind his teeth - the sounds of anguish feeling a twinge between his balls.
This was his chance. He loosened the mans grip and kicked out. However, the man was quick himself and suddenly jumped him. The man was still trying to regain his strength after the incident. The man - still on top of Joshua - leaned over and sucker punched him right across his face. Joshua’s head laid there unconscious on the grass. The man got up with a sigh of relief and dragged him along to his van.
The van door opened easily with a familiar faint sound that all car doors give off. The dog, hearing the sound, turned it’s head to find that there was a flash of white light coming not that far from where he was. The man started the van and was off - out of the woods. The dog quickly scampered as fast as his little paws could take him out of the woods. The chase was on and the dog could still see the van, it had stopped at a red light. The dog still managing to catch up dashed the last few feet.
Without realizing it, the light had turned green and so the van sped off. The dog panted and slowed down to a stop. The dog laid his head down on top of his paws exhausted and worn out. It made a slow whimper to itself that everything was going to be alright. It gazed at the van who was at a very far distance than the dog could ever make.
The van went over a speed-bump rocking Joshua back and forth. Joshua was still unconscious, he was still unaware of the events that were about to be sent forth to him. He was in a deep sleep. A very deep one…
************************************************************************
Escaping the Nightmare
Visions of past images of his mom and dad soared throughout his condensed thoughts. Suddenly a train of thought exploited a memory of light into his blind eyes of his. Joshua found himself on a warm summer’s day laying on the grass on a beach. The grass seemed to be softer than he remembered on his legs. A few whiffs of freedom from reality was sure pleasant.
He could hear something familiar in the distance. He opened his eyes and leaned upward and got up. He noticed he was wearing his summer shirt and shorts, instead of his dirty old clothing he was wearing not too long ago. He was also wearing his favorite sandals that had a somewhat Hawaiian feeling to it. Maybe it was because of the furry straps that was around his toes and the fine thick rugged weaving that held his foot. The one thing he most liked about shoes and sandals was that he always checked the bottom of them to feel the texture. It always occurred to him that he wore thick rugged shoes - same with the sandals. Just thinking about this made him feel uncomfortably hungry. He had to think of other things besides food.
He could still hear voices not too far from where he was. In fact, to him it only seemed like they were right in front of him the whole time he was resting in the sun. He got up and rest assured they were his parents. They were dancing in a circle hugging each other as they leapt off the sand. This wasn’t like them at all. They used to fight and made selfish rude conversations with each other; that’s all he ever remembered about them. Yet, part of him knew that this would have had to happen, if he had ever loved them so much as he did right now. He went over to hug them but suddenly he fell onto a heap of sand.
He leaned back on his elbows and stared back in interest. He watched them run around, past him. Now something else caught his attention, in the corner of his right eye he saw what appeared to be his childhood self. Joshua stared in awe at himself. He suddenly got frustrated with it all. He knelt down toward his former self.
“Why aren’t you look at them? Don’t you see what fun they’re having? Just look you freaking dumb a**! Look! Look…”, Joshua grabbed hold of the child and cried. Then he looked at himself. He suddenly saw, before his eyes, it turned into sand. He looked around the beach turned to sand. The seagulls dropped and turned into sand. Everyone else around him turned into sand. All that was left was the miraculous sun.
Joshua got up off the sand and looked around. All he saw were heaps of sand. He looked down and kicked at the sand. A wisp of sand was caught by a sudden soft wind that blew the opposite direction, behind Joshua. Joshua knelt back down holding his knees in front of him, rocking back and forth.
“This could have been prevented…”
“What?” Joshua turned his head slowly around. It was all silent again.
“It was all your fault, your dad wouldn’t have died if you hadn’t done that stupid careless thing, your mom wouldn’t have died if you hadn’t left…” constant negative thoughts echoed the winds and soon the sand picked up. It whirled around him. Joshua’s tears began to form. The voices pushed harder, all around him. Joshua screamed.
“Just stop it! Stop it, leave me alone…”, he fell to the ground crying. His mind cleared up and the sand was gone.
“I wish somebody was here”, he sniffled. He thought of Melina he met at the park and wondered if she could comfort him. His thoughts raced and formed into his mind. He fantasized that he and she were hugging in a beautiful place of their own. Somewhere where they wouldn’t even have to care about life. He wanted to be away from it all.
Pink blossoms fell from the sky as he imagined in some anime video’s he had watched. His clothes were as fine as any prince or rich boy would have in the world. He wore a fine black tuxedo and she wore a stunning white dress. There they entered the palace. He could see the sparkly ball gown she wore made the whole palace fill with light and made the rest of the room shut down by night.
There they danced elegantly for a few minutes around a circle under a spotlight. Both had closed their eyes just for a brief moment to kiss. Joshua squinted with disgust. He was astonished that she had the slimiest lips he had ever touched. He suddenly felt uncomfortable knowing that his mind was playing tricks on him again.
He opened his right eye to find that a snake-like parasite was swerving around his body. Its head only consisted of a drooling mouth with jagged small teeth and a body full of slime and splintered hair lines between each segment. Joshua felt its enormous unpleasant stench that made him choke and cough. The very air itself was heavy and gloomy. The foul creature roused around him tightly and suddenly lunged toward Joshua. Everything shattered into bright light glass. Joshua fell abruptly on a pile of garbage.
Joshua groaned as he lifted his body into a slouch then everything seemed fixated on him alone. Junkyard dogs surrounded him. They growled ferociously even the air was filled with a sneer. The hounds stared at him continued to growl and circled around him. Joshua stood up feeling petrified only looking around dazzled at the sight of it all.
Something caught their attention a few of the hounds chased what seemed to be his dog. It didn’t seemed alarmed, scared, or worried. The hounds stopped once it entered the mountainous pile of waste. It wasn’t long before it had reached Joshua through the top piles of cans, happy to seem him. But something suddenly startled Joshua that made him slip off a bit.
It started to morph and grew bigger and uglier. His dog had turned into one of them and sprang out at his face. Joshua quickly shielded himself from the dog and was hurled downward into the air along with the dog. Joshua realized that the pile seemed to be taller than he thought it was. Both dog and boy smashed right on top of a junkyard car’s windshield. Joshua remained still because of pain gnawing at his backside.
The dog appeared to be shaky but then returned into its unaltered state of anger and slowly edged itself toward him. Joshua realized what was happening. The hounds howled and death lurking near by. Joshua leaned unsteadily away from the dog. He couldn’t help but look down at the hounds which were ready to rip the living day lights out of him. The car screeched and hissed from the rubble holding it. A wire snapped!
Suddenly, a whole pile on top of the car was forced downward on top of him and the dog. The car was taken with them along with the landslide coming and crashing down on everything bellow it. It finally landed to a halt as pieces of metal and waste fell or rolled off the heap. Joshua head popped up with a dirty trench coat on his head. He immediately threw the disgusting junk off if him. Seeing the dog emerge from under the pile he noticed the other blood-thirsty hounds ready to rip him apart piece by piece.
He quickly regained his cowardice grabbed the pile of junk around him and jumped right in to conceal himself. The pack of evil dogs rushed along with their noisy barking. Joshua knowing hiding wasn’t any good so jumped right back out and struggled to get back on the mountain of rubbish. Before he could even manage to hightail it, the dog managed to cut deep into his leg. Joshua screamed for a moment and fell flat on his face, being dragged out on the bare ground.
Joshua’s eyes were closed and filled with soggy tears. He noticed that the terrifying beasts weren’t feasting on him. He turned his frail body around and saw a shack full of light. The main door burst out. Death had taken a new form in his eyes. It was a man dressed in all black, leaving a trail of foggy smoke from his trailer...
...sorry thats the furthest i have gone so far...
I will finnish this later in a different thread...
