previous post "Sir?" Says the person on the megaphone. "You will have to come with us. If you do without struggle, no harm will have to come to anyone." Yeah, thinks I, if I go qiuetly, no harm will come to any of you.
The figure walking toward me keeps walking. The vegetation pushed outward from me falls to the ground because it doesn't have anything supporting it anymore... That thing must be getting smaller.
I can hear a cellphone rining in the direction of the megaphone. Someone picks up. I can only hear a distant voice having a conversation. I can't make anything out, but I can feel the person't eyes on me. I know it's me that is the subject of that conversation. It gives me a queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. I know something bad is going to happen.
The figure keeps advancing, hands out in the open to show me that there is nothing to fear. But there is something to fear. I'm in the middle of a field somewhere, I don't even know where, surrounded by vehicles that quite pissibly have the capability to blow me sky high at the press of a button. I have everything to fear.
The figure seems to sense this and stops advancing. He (I can tell by the cut and design of the clothing) stopped at the edge of the circle where that thing deposited all the vegetation and jsut stood there. The man on the phone got off. I could tell because his voice raised and he started to curse.
"We need you to surrender peacefully, and the sooner the better for all of us." says the man, agitation and urgency in his voice. It seems that the call had put some fear into the man, and I could hear the buzzing of gossip circling me on both sides.
The man at the ring of vegetation suddenly, as if on command started walking toward me again... And for some reason I was feeling stronger. I'mnot sure why. The closer this person got to me, the stronger I felt. And so I decided to play with my new-found strength. I recalled when I woke up at the hospital and when I awoke here. Both times This bubble of force or something centered itself on me and grew. So I tried to lessen the bubble as much as possible. as that happened, there was a audible sigh of releif from the crowd of people around me hidind behind their vehicles.
I grinned to myself and put myself at the top of the bubble. But instead of being a sphere I made it into a disk. And I went up. Imediately I heard gunfire from below but I made the disk into a hemisphere with my shoulders to my feet being the radius. The world grew smaller below me and I could now see larger things than guns being aimed at me. I didn't wait for them to start firing those at me. I left as fast as possible and headed away from the rising sun.
I lowered myself to near the treeline. That way should they bring planes out to look for me, I could duck below before I could be spotted with any clarity. And I kept going into the darkness.
