Glitch 66

Am I really Dead?

                                                                                      Eriee...

                                                Now that I think about it, the thing pressed against my forehead is not a gun. It's sharp and feels like a knife but I can't see it it's in my blind spot. I bring the cig up to my mouth a take a deep breath. Calm down you need to figure out how far he's willing to go. I push my forehead into the knife, he presses harder and I feel a trickle of blood flow down the side of my nose, collect at my nose and drip on the floor. s**t. He utters the first words to me.

"So, eager to die already?" He presses down harder still and more blood goes drip, drip on the floor. This s**t hurts more than I thought it would. I recognize his voice; it’s the annoying voice dude. How did he find me so fast? My eyes dart across the room. Nobodies here. Where are they?

"Where are the others" I ask as calmly as I can.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "There are no others I'm the first one to reach you." Now that I think about it, it looks like he's wearing pajamas. Wait why did he tell me he's alone? I could use this information against him.

"Isn’t it dangerous to tell me you're alone, I could use this information against you." I ask curiously.                He looks around, sighs and says " Uno H restrictions, please" so while his blue eyes watch me indifferently, his knife turns into not so sturdy looking handcuffs but it looks like they're strong enough that I wouldn’t be able to break out of then with brute force. He collects both of my hands behind my back, cuffs them and pushes me until I'm sitting cross-legged on the cold floor. I'm feeling ballsy so I say

 "Mm kinky." He just sighs like he doesn’t get paid enough for this and says                                                          "I ask myself every day, what am I willing to put up with today? And I look at you and know not this" He turns to leave and I say"Wait." He does a 180 and says                                                                                                "what?"                                                                                                                                                                                "I have question answer them for me."                                                                                                                          "Is this why you did this?" Holy s**t he looks angry. "I've been thinking about why you would do this and I suppose that for an absolute dumbass like you this seems like you this seems like the most logical thing to do"                                                                                                                                                                            "What no, I have the highest IQ ever recorded"                                                                                                               "I'm not talking about IQ I'm talking about common sense, You seem to severely lack the ability to think logically." he seemed quite thoughtful, then he sat down and said."Ok ill answer your questions, it'll take a few hours for the recreational team to get through your traps and I have to wait for them anyway."                "How did you get here so fast?"                                                                                                                                      "Even though you filled the normal way here choke full of traps and obstacles and such but I come had to break about 5 fire walls, go past 18 traps and open like 9 emergency doors."                                                        "Well I figured the garbage chute is barely big enough for one person and who would be crazy enough to come alone, since the takeover looked like it was done by hundreds of people."                                                                                       

"Really? Well you forgot about the hidden security camera. These days they have to be hidden or people vandalize them."                                                                                                                                                                  "Ok now to the important questions. Where am I?"                                                                                                       "That’s a bit difficult to answer, but you are currently in the first of the core connected worlds, in the empire Sgoinneil, the city of Kirba. The organization you will be working for-"                                                    "How do you know I will work for this organization?"                                                                                                  "Because if you don’t you will die out of starvation since you don’t have any money or any means of earning any cause this county requires that you have a ID to apply for a job interview."                                      "Ok carry on." Yesh harsh. And he said it so normally.                                                                                                 "You will be working for an organization called Apocalypse Prevention of Core Worlds or W.A.C.P. It’s exactly as it sounds like, it prevents apocalypse in the 5 core worlds so that the untouchable worlds don’t get affect-"                                                                                                                                                                         "Untouchable worlds? I know about the five core worlds but untouchable worlds?"                                             "Aren't you a researcher shouldn’t you know this?" He asked smugly. Basterd.                                                      "At least I know about the core worlds."                                                                                                                         "So you know that the 5 core worlds are connected and interact on a daily basis but hard to travel through worlds and since they are linked if one gets destroyed then the rest follow. World 3 your Earth is currently in crisis and it's not even a single world crisis like climate change in world 3 of the volcanic plates moving too fast in world 2, these won't affect other worlds but world 3 is deleting itself, it's not natural so it's already affecting the other worlds in different ways. World 3 is deemed so unsafe that the HQ we have in every world is withdrawn from world 3"                                                                                          "Yes okay but what about the untouchable worlds?"                                                                                                   "Well they are worlds you can see but can't go to, we have also noticed that no matter what happens to the 5 core worlds the untouchables stay the same hence the name." he fell silent and I realize he's waiting for me to say something, so I ask the question that has been bothering me most.                                              "Am I dead?" I fidget, I feel like I have confessed to something bad but wondering whether your dead or not is normal right?                                                                                                                                                                                                             "Yes you are in a sense everything that is erased don’t exist anymore so as you were on your way to non-existence we just plucked you up from your road, so technically you are not supposed to exist so you are dead."  

                                                      My blood on the floor has dried already. My face feels crusty because of the dried blood that’s stuck there too. We have been sitting in silence for quite some time now. I'm bored and he hasn’t said a word so I ask him.

"What's your name?"                                                                                                                                                           "None of you business." he says. He's so boring. I want to get a reaction out of him. Ok let's do that.             "NoNe Of yOuR bUsInEsS." I say with my nose pinched, I also turn my voice all high for extra effectiveness. Someone in the orphanage did this to me once and I got so pissed I broke his nose. I wait in anticipation, what will he do? Usually I can tell what normal people will do but I have feeling he's not normal after all he did figure me out very easily.

                                       He stood up and started walking across the room towards me. I sniff. something smells weird. He suddenly covers his mouth and faces the door. Before I could see more everything went black.

                                                                                        Titus…

                                                                       As I'm about to go beat this kid's ass into holy high hell. I smell chemicals and I think that’s not good. Smelling chemicals are never good so I look for its source and the only logical place it could be coming from is from outside since neither of us having moved for quite a bit. s**t I don’t have a weapon. I can't protect her or myself. I cover my mouth to delay the effects. It's no use soon after I hear the thump of the girl falling I go down too.

                                        When I wake up. I see myself in a cold room sitting slumped in a chair. I sit up straight as the door clicks open looks they were monitoring me. It's one of my superiors Kalek Atlas. He could be considered close to me, is that why they sent him? I hunch over, rest my elbows on my thighs and look at him. I need to get a scope of the situation first. So I wait.

"Why would you do this Titus?" he asks with fake concern. They think that bringing someone they thought close to me would get me to confess whatever they are accusing me off. This move has caused me to lose all respect I have for this man. But I still don’t know what they are accusing me of so I need to play dumb.

"I did what exactly?" He's visibly angry now. He's practically handing over information towards me.               "Well you took over the HQ and took a sick girl as hostage, luckily we out smarted you and put you to sleep before you could do anything else." He replied smugly
