arrival in hearts and minds
He hurt. He hurt everywhere. What a really bad fucking day. First of all, running? How much running can one guy do in a day? They ran from, like.....Lower Manhattan to the Brooklyn Bridge to Midtown. And then he had to run up forty flights of stairs. which...sucked, pretty much. And then there were these things, everywhere? Everywhere.
It was supposed to be a good night. Instead some horrific Godzilla shit showed up, and.....
People were dying, all night. Everywhere they turned there was blood, and...and monsters, and...this giant fucking....thing.
Ow. Ow ow ow ow ow -
Hud found himself flat on his back and trying to remember what had happened.
His eyes squeezed closed. There was a horrible ripping feeling in his legs and his torso and he felt like he'd just been torn to peices. Everything....hurt.
....but...not as bad as it had.
Maybe he was dying. Didn't things start to feel warm and fuzzy when you were dying?
He wondered if she -
.....but, no. Things really did feel better.
He opened his eyes. It was bright, and he realized it was cold. Colder than a New York May, that was for damn sure. His face was still pale, his freckles standing out in his face. There was blood from earlier that night still caked into his hair and on his forehead but while his head still ached things felt mostly okay.
He sat up, looked around.
".....Rob?" he called out.
This wasn't Central Park.
"Rob!" he shouted.
He looked around beside him on the ground. There was some snow, though what he was laying on was wet and uncomfortable grass. A park, but not the park.
...and no camera.
"Shit. Shit!"
Hud tried to get up but pain shot through his side and he realized he couldn't. He apparently didn't feel as good as he thought he did.
Where was the camera? If that big fucker had stepped on it -
...or eaten it. Maybe he'd -
"Oh god...oh, Jesus..." Hud said, breathless as he lay back, covering his head with his arms.
ooc: Welcome Hudson Platt from the new film, Cloverfield. For the freakin win, man. Anyway....there will probably be massive spoilers in threading with him, so if you care about being spoiled, maybe you shouldn't thread with him. But if you've seen it, or you don't care - talk to him. He'd love it.
