New Man

Months after the incident, John totally became absorbed in his new way of life. He constantly stole from others, harassed people with the mindset of survival of the fittest. With this thought in his head and his new friends, he felt that he was invincible.

"Yo, Get Up, we gotta to roll"

One of John's new acquaintance spoke hoping to wake him up. He was one of the burglars that broke in his apartment that day and ever since then, he had been a close friend to John. His name was Rio and with the other Kelly, they were at his apartment corridor waiting for their new found buddy to join them to spend the morning.

"Wake Up, Big Man"

"Yikes, I'm coming"

John proceeded to stand up and headed to his bathroom to brush his teeth. After the incident, John moved to the other side of the city close to his new found buds.

"Good Morning Rio, Kelly" John greeted, although he had changed a lot over this few months, he still retained his feelings of politeness over those close to him.

"Let's hit the Bar" Rio proposed

"Ok"

"You got cash on you?"

"Yep, won it from a bet earlier"

"I see, well let's move"

The trio left the apartment heading for the Bar nearby.

"I heard one of those things passed by last night" Kelly said

" Really!"

" Yep but fortunately, they didn't engage us. I wonder what they are thinking"

" Who knows? "

" Let's just drop this convo, it's not like we can actually do anything"

" Honestly, I can't believe the Government would lie in this situation"

" What happened to the security they promised us, we are not allowed to go to work and yet they couldn't provide us anything even the least bit of security" John blasted as he recalled memories of that night.

" Calm down, this isn't like you John"

" Just blow on this cigarette and leave the unimportant things"

" Thanks Rio"

Prior to the current state of things, John was your average black haired geek boy, he seemed weak and was easy-going but now, he had the face of a veteran criminal with blooshot eyes.

" Hey, have you been working out?" Rio asked

" Kind of" John replied perplexingly

" To think that I just noticed"

" You look like a Man now, just some months back you were...." Kelly suddenly stopped as he didn't want to bring back unpleasant memories for John. John noticed this but ignored

" We are here!" Rio roared as he ran into the bar. The Bar was always scanty in the morning with just a handful of customers.

"Richard! Pass me the usual" He said approaching the bartender

" You're still owing for the past few drinks you had here"

" I know I know, I'll pay you up today"

" Yo Richard" John greeted

" Good Morning John, Good morning Kelly"

John, Kelly and Rio took a seat close to the bartender as they ordered for drinks.

" Pzzzt"

" Huh, what's it Rio?"

" Look at the girl over there"

Kelly pointed to a lone lady at the corner, she had a stoic face and was busy with her phone not minding the lustful gazes from those around her.

" Well that's unusual, the bar rarely gets female customers especially during the day"

" Do you think she'll be interested in me?"

" You're drunk"

" Hey! I can still drink more, a bottle of vodka can't just make me drunk"

" I was kidding"

" That's more like it"

" I don't think it's wise to approach her though"

" I get you, I was kidding as well"

Some minutes later.....

" I can flyyyyyyy iiii"

" Let's lead him to his apartment" John said to Kelly

" I didn't come here to lead a drunk man home"

" Well that's selfish"

" Alright alright"

In a strange object hidden in the clouds were Mulkers observing the humans below.

" But I must say, these humans are quite incompetent, they simply stood back waiting for their demise, they're a joke. I can't believe that we saw them as threats to our plans"

" Yes, we overestimated them." A voice responded back

" Look, it's quite pitiful the young ones are just as indifferent towards their current situation"

" Too bad we were ordered to only observe, I would have loved to see the terror in their faces as we approach them"

" Hahaha, I see you are as strange as ever"

" I've made up my mind"

" What are you talking about?, Don't tell me you are going down there"

" I am, if they want to cower in fear then they should at least have the look. I can't tolerate them looking happy"

" We were told to only observe, you wouldn't go back on the general's orders, would you?"

" You'll see" it said and proceeded to jumped off.

" THUMMMMM" The Earth shook violently as it landed right in front of John and his friends.
