Pretenders Chap.1 "the Encounter"

8.00 AM

Woke to a sweet sunrise and the burden of another day at the Office

and I'd always wonder,

'what's the point of saying you only live once and live your life to the fullest? when all you do in your life is being born, study for the first 24-25 years of your life, and get a job just to be burdened with it so you satisfy yourself and others in the name of luxury?'

but I'd let it go saying "Guess that's life" *sighs*

I then cleansed my teeth and mouth.

had a good steam bath.

ate some sandwiches.

and left to Suffer...

then took a taxi toward the office I work in like every other day, the driver looked like a rather interesting person than every other I've seen taxi driver who looks like he'd only want money.

so I did thing the thing I usually don't do

'Interact' with a stranger

I asked the most hospitable question I had in my book

"Good morning, How do you do?"

the stranger responded Cheerfully " Fine, how do you do Sir?"

I said in an intrigued way "I am just holding up fine,.."

and then Asked a question of Curiosity "Do you enjoy your job?"

he simply replied "No.....", which Was Surprising by the level of Honesty he had towards me, A stranger...

This caused an atmosphere of awkward silence in the car until we reached the office.

I paid my fare and gave him a Tip for The Ride and entered the office's premises escaping the Awkwardness of that Conversation.

then later Overworked myself until the Work hours were over 10.00 PM in the Night like Every other day and then headed home.

But for a change, I Decided to Go for a walk to my Home instead, as it wasn't that too far and wasn't as Crowded at this time Around compared to the dawn. it would also save some money.

I then headed off towards home dressed in a suit with my bag in hand and wasn't thinking about my safety because I was at a point where I'd be happy to get murdered Painless cause my will to live was at 0%.

While walking I noticed some people Hanging out in Groups looking quite suspicious to my eyes.

my instincts told me that they were around 18-23 years of age either Coming back from clubbing, a big Drug Deal or Looking to pleasure themselves to prove their superiority

Whatever I was feeling I knew Danger was 10-15 steps close

then one person wearing a dark hood with hands in his Pocket came close...

He said "Oi Oi" Staring menacingly At me as if he wanted to extort something

I pretended as if he called another Person a walked Silently with my guard up

and then I heard the sound of a pocket knife Being drawn up approximately around 5-6 steps behind me

with my guard up I quickly ducked as the knife almost narrowly missed Slicing my Throat and tackled the person behind me towards The wall.

he quickly then came Accelerating towards me trying to go in for the clean stab through my chest.

so I dodged it and gave a good kick right on his ass to Anger him Even more.

He Shouted " HEY???? does this seem to be a joke to you?? " As I embarrassed and humiliated him in front of his group

as I wanted this to be over with I simply Said " Oi you Bastards on the streets, I Aint got time for your bullshit so come fight me instead of ranting out some Bullshit Cowards"

then They ll came Rushing towards me with the intent to kill, Frankly, I didn't care and put on some Headphones to play some JAZZ (JK some Death metal)

the first person who came rushing amongst the group tried to give a punch in the face as a counter I snapped his wrist and slammed him down with one hand in my pocket

the next person swung around a knife As if he were a drunk old man, so I kicked the knife out of his hand and gave a satisfying Punch to his face

The last person came running as if he wanted to tackle me sadly I gave a good knee to his face as he was running that the poor bastard got a concussion and fainted.

the black hooded guy watched all of his group get beaten up as he felt like a joke.

after knocking the lights off his group beating them to a state of unconsciousness I saw the black-hooded person who was trembling in fear.

I walked calmly towards him and said " Oh That's Sad " and threw his knife on his face and walked towards the direction of my home.

Little did I realize I enjoyed Every bit of almost Murdering a person.....

As I walked Home I Encountered the Taxi driver I rode with during Dawn

he walked towards me with the intent of investigating me and asked...

"Hows Things Captain...."
