• Imagine, if you will, a life changing event that you have no way in hell explaining. I mean, take an already weird life that you have no way of describing to a normal person, and then take an even weirder event and it turns your life upside down and sideways. The end result is my life. My name is Knickers. But everyone (my roommate) calls me Knick. So I guess you guys can. Anyway, this event well it all started about a year ago……
    It was a raining Saturday evening; it had been raining all day and didn’t show any signs of stopping. Why would it? The weather man said it was supposed to rain for another two days or so. I loved the rain but this is ridiculous, I don’t like staying cooped up. I checked the time; it was a quarter past five. I might as well head to the grocery store now, there was no point in waiting any longer- plus the damn fridge was looking bare. Damn it Damien, he was supposed to get groceries this week. I walked down the hallway and tapped on his door. No answer. Figures, he is probably fapping or doing one of his weird experiments.
    “Hey a*****e, I’m getting groceries. I’ll be back shortly. Oh and next two weeks you’re getting groceries,”
    I said through the door. My cellphone went off shortly, I pulled it out and it was a picture of Damien’s middle finger. I closed the message. ‘Yeah ******** you too buddy.’ I continued on to my room, grabbed my wallet, and shoes. I grabbed my keys and jacket as I walked out the door into the howling torrent. The rain was coming down hard and the thunder crack and the lightning snapped across the dark sky. I loved thunder storms. I observed the sky for a brief moment and then sally forth in the downpour, heading to the grocery store.
    I retrieved my groceries for the week. The groceries consisted of the basic ramen, chicken, bread, broth and beer. Damien has a drinking problem, but he isn’t the only one who likes to drink. This is generally what we get every week to feed our already malnourished bodies. We really should eat more, but we rather invest our time and money into- well invest it into our jobs. As I was leaving the store I turned the corner and bumped into someone, knocking me to the ground.
    “Ouch, sorry about th-,” I tried to get out but when I looked up the person I had ran into had vanished. Like a ghost, it was as if the person was never there at all. “Freaky.” I recovered from the fall and continued onto the house. I walked quietly in the monsoon thinking about my life and where it has gone so far. I have to say my life is rather complex and very challenging. Life just throws me curve balls, but that never really stops me. Both my professor and my parents said I have a strong capability of ‘bouncing back’ in life and that my determination will be ‘salvation’ whatever the ******** that is supposed to mean. I looked over at a nearby cat under a soaked cardboard box. Apparently the cat had spotted me because it came scampering up to me and rubbed itself against my leg. The compassion set in because this was one adorable cat. I mean this cat was adorable. It was grey with grey blue eyes and a single diamond shaped mark on her forehead.
    “Oh my god…so adorable,” I melted, I couldn’t control myself. I picked up the cat and let her crawl into my jacket. I felt her scampering underneath my coat trying to get warm. ‘D’awwwwwwwww!’
    “I’ll call you….Dusk.” the cat meowed gently and purred into my chest.
    I continued on to the house and was home in no time. After putting away the groceries and fixing dusk some food, I was able to finally relax. I plopped onto the couch and Dusk immediately jumped onto my chest and curled up there. It was really relaxing and comfortable. Before long I was asleep with dusk curled against me.
    I’m not sure how long I had been asleep but the thunderous crash and the sound of what could have been gunfire. I jolted off the couch, Dusk went flying, and I sprinted to my room grabbed my baseball bat and ran outside. The monsoon had turned into the type of weather that makes you think the world is going to hell. I heard more gunshots and some yelling. They sounded like they came from the alley near the back if the house. I sprinted to the noise and sure enough there was a small firefight happening in my backyard.
    “Give up you bitches!” a burly man screamed and punched what appeared to be a woman wearing a black clock with a black band around her left arm. There was a strikingly familiar white bat on the band and I’ve seen it from somewhere before. She instantly dropped to the ground with a shriek. Another woman appeared dressed the same way and swung at the man with a giant green and black scythe. The hulk of a man dodged the swing and punched her in the gut. She dropped to her knees clutching her stomach, throwing up from the impact.
    “Now you demon bitches are coming with me, Master Corset wants to speak with you.”
    “******** you, you overgrown ape! Corset can kiss our scarlet asses! There is no way in hades we are going back to him, especially not after what happened to those dumb angel bitches!” screamed the one who got punched in the face.
    “You’re gonna regret that!” the man roared and began to yell loudly. His muscles suddenly grew twice their size; he grew three feet taller and turned pale red.
    “Remember this form! The one I used to crush that human toy of yours!”
    “Now sister!” screamed the one with the scythe. Both of the girls charged at him. The first sister had twin pistols and the other sister charged with her scythe. The hulk smashed then against the wall like someone swatting flies. The both hit the wall with a bone crunching thud and fell unconscious.
    “I think before Master Corset gets you back, I’m going to finally taste that sweet a** of you girls.” The man said as he picked up the pistol girl. ‘********! What do I do?! If I don’t do something they’ll be killed or worse. Dammit! No choice I have to use’ I reached deep inside of me and felt the surging energy. The live wire of pure electrical energy; coursing through my veins and collected into my left palm. I saw the spark, it was weak at first, but grew to a bright flash of lightning. I threw it up like a ball, reared back with my bat and as the lightning ball came down smashed all my power into the swing. It went flying and hit the man square in the back. It connected with 100% accuracy and made the beast stumble and drop the girl.
    “Who the fu---“
    “Fight me ********,” I said. I felt a twitching surge through my body. The spark was finally awake and eager to fight. The power was so strong I felt my eyes starting to surge as lightning traveled through making them bluer than before.
    “You wanna fight me pipsqueak?! Do you know who you’re ********’ with?” roared the man.
    “To be frank I don’t give a damn, you can rot in hell for all I care, but the real question is,” I looked down at the ground my eyes twitching again. It was time, “Do you know who your ******** with?” my eyes sparked as lightning jumped from my sockets. I knew my eyes were burning bright blue. Time for a little fun. I heaved my bat and charged.
    Here we go.
