My name is vernius, I live on the planet of calypso, where odd things happen everyday, I will now continue my story.
It’s been a week now, and even though it is far behind me, I can’t help but wonder what if?
I was getting out of bed one morning, and the minute I came to my senses, I started to get this weird feeling of something or someone being in my presence.
I went out to the kitchen, and made a cup of hot tea, as I usually do when I wake up, but something court my attention, there on the kitchen floor I noticed not one but 3 used battery cells, labelled Omegaton Industries.
I rarely use batteries and certainly not for my hotplates, as I was wondering where these cells came from, I suddenly heard a silent sound coming from my bedroom, without further thought, I grabbed my EP-40 Mercenary Pistol, I was determined to find out what or whom was in my apartment.
I felt chills creeping down my spine, as I approached my bedroom; slowly I pushed the door open to take a peek inside.
Suddenly I noticed a sort of shade coming right at me, the shade was in form of a humanoid; I quickly started to open fire, in the direction of this odd phenomenon.
The shady form came hurling at me with tremendous speed and admirable agility.
The humanoid form knocked me off my feet, moving quickly through my living room, the creature vanished out in the corridor, where after it barged through the main door to my apartment, while all this was happening, I found myself flying through the air, half laying down, and halfway on my feet.
The chills went down my spine, my thoughts was a mess, what was that thing, and why would it be lurking about in my apartment, and most important of all, where did this creature come from & where was it heading?
I had to find out what this odd creature or humanoid was doing in MY apartment.
As I hurled through my apartment, I quickly gathered my clothes on the way out.
As I came out to the main corridor of the building, I heard the elevator arrive, further ahead; I thought to myself “hurry, this is one ride you can’t afford to miss”.
As I ran towards the elevators, I went through my pockets trying to find a speed boosting pill.
However precision has never been my real strength, and as I was fumbling for my “Pill” it fell out one of my pockets and slipped into the ventilator shaft attached on the wall next to me, I heard the pill sliding and dropping through the system thinking “Great, now I know what kind of day I am in for” I yelled “Darn & a lot of fu…nny words erhm”.
The pill was gone, and my sanity right along with it, as I thought to myself “No time to waste move on”.
As I came to the elevators, I saw one of the doors close, and a heard a deep laughter coming form the other side, I quickly tried to force the door open with my gun, but it was no use, the elevator was already heading down towards the lobby, and after firing my gun twice the sprinkler system was activated.
I felt a short moment of panic, as a sweet and releasing sound reached my ears, “a 2nd elevator had arrived”.
I quickly got into it, an pressed the lobby button about 10 times on a row, finally the doors closed and the elevator started to move, I hardly noticed the elevator going down since I was to busy getting into my rags.
Finally the tilt sound went on, and I entered the lobby… The lobby was empty, no people, no robots, nothing.
I noticed that on the way out how the security robot-guard at the main desk had been disabled.
I remember thinking “damnit” as I hastened for the lobby main doors.
Outside the building thousands of people went by as if nothing had happened.
What was that thing, and why was it after me?
Where did it come from & why was I its target?
I decided to go back to my apartment.
I found my main door in a busted condition.
later that day I went down to the supervisor and told him about what had happened, he told me that I would get a new door the very same day, and I decided not to give it any further thought.
I went back to my apartment and found the 3 same batteries on the kitchen floor; I went through my drawers to see if I could find a plastic bag to put them into.
The next day I went down to the police station and got them analysed, it turned out that the fingerprints was from a human, and that the human had been a male.
I don’t know exactly what or who this character was, but next time I will be better prepared, and next time he won’t be so lucky.
This story will continue, so let’s hope that Vernius catches his bad guy…
