More of my gems!
So...old livejournal is full of hilarity...this isn't quite as good as the last story I posted, but hopefully still worth your while. This was dedicated at the time of creation to Ms. Kate Moraine, who may or may not ever read this journal anymore, who I haven't talked to in AGES, but it's still dedicated to her (she gave me the original idea that inspired it.)
Fear, terror, chaos...What was going to happen to them all? Screams rang out through the sky. Tessa wrung her hands, ran frantically into the street, glanced around, went back to the dubious safety of her house.
How could anybody have known? They had always seemed so innocent, who could have predicted this attack? What would happen if they WON? Tessa had to keep her mind off of it. They hadn't won yet, the battle was still going on, the entire police force was out there fighting them. She had to calm down. She picked up the phone, and with shaking fingers, dialed Maria.
"Yes?" came the choked voice from the other end.
"Maria? It's Tessa. Oh god Maria, I'm so scared, what are we going to do?"
"I don't know Tess," Maria wailed. "I'm scared too. I never expected this…Oh god Tessa, I'm going to die, I'm going do die. And what a way to die, I don't wanna die like this Tess!" Maria broke into loud tears.
"They haven't won yet Maria," Tessa said, although her voice was cracking under the strain of her sobs. "We just have to keep strong…Oh god, now you're making me cry," she reached for a tissue and blew her nose. "What if they don't kill us? What if they enslave us? What if we spend the rest of our lives attending to their every need and want?" tears flowed from her eyes in a constant stream.
"Tessa, if they do that, I swear I will kill myself," promised Maria. "I couldn't live the rest of my life serving them. It would just be too much. Ohmygod, I just heard a blast, I'm going to turn on the radio."
Tessa decided to do the same. Sniffling and wiping her eyes, she flipped the switch of the radio, and fiddled with the tuning knob until a station with no static came in.
"The battle seems to be going in favor of…" but she couldn't stay and listen. She flipped the radio off, and then back on, fiddling with the tuning knob again. "Back and forth, there's no way to tell who's winning…" she flipped it off.
"I can't listen Maria, I'm too scared of what I'll here. Oh please just let me die quickly, without any pain…" her voice trailed off. She heard a wail that grew louder and louder. She flipped the radio back on.
"They've done it, we're doomed…There's no stopping them…It's a nightmare come true…" the announcer cried terrified. Then there was abrupt silence.
The phone fell out of Tessa's limp hand. Everything was over. The ducks had taken over the city.
