I am awesome


“In all my life I’ve never seen something as amazing as this. I’ve always felt like something was coming, coming for me. I never did imagine it would be this…
I can’t start this at the end of this. I must start at the beginning, but wear does it begin? It’s all just always been there, right in front of me.
I don’t remember much from grade school, no more than anyone else at that age, but I remembered you. I think I always kind of remembered you even before you made me. I can recall when you showed up at my recess, wearing those goggles and that coat. It was like you could make the whole world pause with a snap of your fingers. The way you and the school kids would all play together. No!, You’re putting images in my head now. You were never playing with them you were controlling them, taking them! You were worsening their lives; my life was destroyed trying to find you. Now that I found you I wish nothing more than to get rid of you.”

“You’ll never stop will you? You’ll take all of them! I won’t let you. I’ll make it better. I’ll do it, just like I made it better in middle school. No one else noticed you then, but I noticed you. You talked to me. Made me believe you were good, you made me hurt people. Innocent people?!? They put me away, threw me in the mad house. All alone in my little box, until they said I could leave. I liked that box-
Then you took those people, and framed me for it. I’m the last one aren’t I? That’s why you came back for me isn’t it?”
**SCREECH**
… YES
**SCREECH**
“So it’s true then, you were just using me! All this time I thought I was insane! I was just a puppet for your mind games!”
**THUMP THUMP**
“Raaaaaaaa! WHY?!”
**THUMP THUMP SHAKE RADDLE**

**SCREECH**
… WHAT IS THAT STICKING OUT OF YOUR JACKET?
**SCREECH**
“Huff, Huff… It is nothing, just a useless tool! It has no purpose!”
**SCREECH**
... DISPOSE OF IT!
**SCREECH**
“No!”
**CLANG**

AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR!!!!

-step, step, step…
“Oh God what did I just do?! I’m doing it again. They’re making me kill again! But I killed one of them. Why would they make me do that? I did that. I purposely killed something. What if I’m still crazy! What if they aren’t even who I think they are? What if they’re-“
OOFF…
“My tape recorder! And it’s been playing this whole time! Ok- just as a recap for those who will be listening in the future, my tape recorder has been thrown down what I thought was garbage shoot, but for some reason I found it walking along this dark ominous corridor. In the moments that you were not with me I managed to break free of my restraints and kill one of them using this tiny circular bone saw.”
**ZING, ZING**
“Previously in my attempts to find out more about them, I was captured by the enemy and taken to their hide out. Where I was mercilessly beaten and tortured. I then found out that they have been using me (with mind control) all this time to be framed, so that they can abduct more people for testing purposes.”
**CLICK, CLACK, CLICK**
They’re coming! I must hide. No! I must run. I shall do both! Yes.
**SCREECH**
… You cannot hide in our corridors forever. We will find you… And what remains of you family.
**SCREECH**
“SCREW YOU CREEPY GIANT VOICE GUY!!!”
-Ahem?
“What? I um, Tic-Tak?”
-AAAAARRRRR!!!!
“OH SWEET JEESUS!!!”
**THUD, THUD, THUD**

**STEP, STEP, STEP**
“Log, I have managed to lose the big buffoon by hiding behind this smelly barrel. Now if I can just find a way out of here I can prove to the world that, I am not crazy.”
**SHUD**


“OH MY GOD!!!”

I don’t even know how to describe the atrocities I am witnessing. DEAD. Dead everywhere dead. The slaughterhouse of man, humans hanging from meat hooks like swine. The smell of death looms thick in the air. The old blood smell, like rotting metal and old cabbage, mixes with the heavy stench of the waste left in fear as the victims watch their fate unfold on the victims in front of them. The screams and cries haunt my broken mind. This is the biggest tragedy of mankind. This coming from someone that murdered his friends, I’ve never seen something as gruesome as this, and as even the battery on my tape recorder dies, I wonder ….am I-




REEEET.

This odd tale is about a young man who finds himself trapped in a crazy place with monsters looming around every corner. While also it is being told in the point of view of his tape recorder.
