A regular day part 2: Into the unknown

Mono books a cab as he sits next to the staircase. He checks his jacket for a gun, tazer and other safety equipment as he notices in his peripheral vision, he sees a grandmother trying to cross the road. "I'll help you with that" Mono tells the grandmother as he helps her walk across the street to the apartment on the other side. "Thank you dear," said the grandmother. As the street lights came on Mono's face was shown on display with the light from above highlighting the bumpy and uneven texture of his skin making him look like a monster that.

The grandma was appalled at the sight of Mono's face as her heart stopped beating for more than a second and she starts gasping for air and the cab he booked calls him "Hey, Hope on you're the one who booked the cab right I'll take you to the hospital as well as the destination and back" said the cab driver who Mono had to squint to even see in the dark but the car looked like a sports car which most cab driver would never be able to afford.

Mono puts the grandmother in the back seat while he sits at the front seat and searches his pocket for money as the driver already started driving. "Hey wait, I didn't pay you yet" Mono asks as he searches his pockets for cash. "You know you can pay digitally right and also worry about the grandmother even surviving" said the taxi driver and Mono hid his face with a jacket as his vision became blurry and his jacket became drenched from the thought that he just killed someone by them just witnessing his face.

"Doctor takes her fast" said the taxi diver who had cherry eyes that reflected the grandma taken to the emergency room. Mono thinks to himself "Huh!! How the hell did we reach the hospital so fast the closest hospital is three hours away". "Good thing you brought her here fast, if not she would have died" said the doctor as the grandma was saved.

"Eye, why are you clinging to me and hiding your face" asked the taxi driver.

"She got a heart attack due to looking at my face so I won't show my face to her again but didn't you have red eyes?" asked Mono as he clung to the taxi driver's legs as his nail less fingers dug into the driver's legs from stress.

Taxi driver ignored the question and continued to talk to the doctor as they discussed on the payment and if the patient had insurance. Mono sat in a hospital that he couldn't access it for years. Mono sat on a chair that smelled like hand sanitizers and was filled with the duller colours of grey and blue. The taxi driver came out of the room and Mono got a good look at him. He was looks tall and more muscular legs that could not be hidden by his pants. He wears red plaid pants that were made with jeans or were a bit tighter. A foe black leather jacket with a light turquoise shirt, a dark maroon sleeveless vest with a black tie. To finish of the look, he had black shoes that were more made of metal rather than a shiny material that was metallic. His hair looked as white as snow with a hint of gold. His eyes were more a brownish maroon which reflected like the mirror. His skin was peach and his hair was unkept and messy but short.

"Come, let's go now" The taxi driver called.

"I'm really grateful for the help you did for me today, is there any way that I can repay you" asked mono as he staired at the behemoth of a guy this was and he had barely any facial hair and most of body was covered. Mono eyes notices that he smiles genuinely and spoke calmly rather that the usual way strangers talk to him.

As Mono goes to the phone to pay a decent sum of money to the driver but he grabs the phone from his hands with his long fingers. "You just pay me the regular amount no need for extra and the extra trip I want you to read this contract I sent to you from my phone and I saved my name on it if you need to call me from help, I will guide you" the driver gave the phone back as a messenger was open with the name saved was HAIL RAILCART.

"You're a train cart…" Mono asked in slight bewilderment at Hails last name.

"You can ignore that for now and read the contract also get in the car" Hail gestures to the car as he beckons Mono to enter before he goes to his seat.

Mono was too stunned to speak and got in the car as some thoughts raced into his head. " This seems a little weird am I the only one who noticed that from inside the hospital to the parking lot we only said few lines or just one sentence and ... how the hell did a ten to twenty minute walk which is just a general estimate just take a blink of an eye to reach; Am I going insane or something on top of being ugly now" Mono questioned as he started to read the contract and one sentence glows as he reads it ' Your Parents and people close to you will get 5 million dollars with financial advisors to give them a steady life while you complete this task and you will get 2 trillion dollars for working on this project and you medical expenses are accounted for as well'. Mono immediately puts his digital signature into the document without thinking about the anything else. "Even though I know what they might say might be slightly risky, I will be able to have a stable life with my parents, improve my looks, help the people who suffer the same fate as me and repay all my loans and debts. That's a deal I'll never get" Mono grinned ear to ear as the blue light bounced back from his eyes making them seem neon blue.

"What task should I do" Mono enquires as his legs swing like a pendulum.

"Did you read the contract in the first place?" Hail calm voice becomes more concerned.

"First of all, what if you signed for a death game where I will make you play some random game and if you survive you will get the prize otherwise you and your family are dead now" Hail interrogated Mono on his unwise decisions according to Hail.

"Yeaaaaahh..." Mono doubted as he only skimmed the document

Hail then twists and turns his watch as a hologram of the contract appears.

Mono was processing all the words that Hail said and after that replied "If your guarantee my safety, its fine I will not change my choice".

"Ok then here we are at the grocery store where you said was your destination. I'll wait here" hail said as the door automatically opened.

"Why did he open the car door before it was automatic" Mono thought as he walked to the grocery store. His shopping trip was just a haze as he just dreamed of swimming in money and everyone in his family going to a vacation. He bought it and even smiled at the cashier who snarled at him out disgust and used hand sanitizer to wash her hands after as he danced back to the car and started to breakdance on the side of the road and some random person dropped some 2-dollar coins saying "Nice dance".

The car can be seen clearly due to the light from the grocery store and other 24-hour stores nearby. The car was a Mardi Gras which glittered in the light. It had a guns and missiles attached to the back of the car where the lights were and the licence plate 'W1I11 [ AYA- 9913]'. "If he has such a luxurious looking car, I wonder why he is a taxi driver, who knows maybe he is just working for someone" Mono mumble as he entered into the car with his grocery box.

The car ride back was just silent as they jammed music that mono had no comprehension of but banged his head too and froe on the fluffy car seats. Mono's vision blurred as the world around him turned black and everything went pitch black.

As Mono slept, he started hearing the sounds birds singing harmonies but the birds sounded like slider flute and a harmonica mixed together. Then his eyes stated to see orange and he opens his eyes to see something that he never thought he would see.

The sky was bright blue and the clouds were cotton candy drifting and maybe sprung from the mountain peaks with chunks of it and bottom being green and brown. Grass swished in the wind as it whooshed across Mono's face, he noticed a big tree making a couple of leaves slowly fall on his face caressing his cheeks. He stands up and stumbles a little bit as the winds pushes him around until he just plans to sit back down. He checks his phone and takes a photo and sends to his mom typing saying 'Mom I am now at this place'. Mono then thinks is this a dream, is what happened was a dream and clenches his cheeks and pinches it till his pale skin started to become rose tinted as he screams "Ahowwww" in some weird combination of words.

He goes to check his contact however.....
