This is just the very beginning I figured I would post it up and see what people (if any of you even read these) thought before I went any further. Like I said it's just the beginning so there really isn't much here
It was always just a stupid little story that everyone knows, actually, I can't for the life of me think of a story that was. If there ever was a story over the years it got boiled down to "behave yourselves, do everything you're told, eat your greens or else the bogeyman will get you". Everyone knows of The Bogeyman, he's as infamous as Santa Claus is famous, only instead of bringing toys to all the good little boys and girls he takes all the bad children away never to be seen again. Like I said it was just a stupid story that everyone knows of.
"Oh come on man I'm getting sick of just standing around here."
"Yeah I know you are, you've been bitching about it for the past 10 minutes."
"Well we've been waiting for your dealer for over half an hour. It's ******** freezing, and I'm bored as s**t. If he's not here in ten minutes I'm going to just take off."
"Tim! Will you just chill out man. He'll be here soon. He doesn't normally deal shrooms, so he probably had to find someone to deal to him.And it is kind of short notice."
"Ten more minutes, and I'm taking off." Tim said as he pulled the sleeve of his jacket up to check his watch and fell back to lean against the wall of a convenience store they where waiting outside of.
"Whatever dude." Chris said as he took a couple of steps forward off of the curb, rubbing his eyes with frustration, dropping down to sit on the curb.
"I'm going to run in and grab a drink, you want something?" Tim said after a couple of minutes breaking the silence.
"Yeah grab me a water or something!" Chris yelled back to Tim as he walked into the store the door closing heavily behind him.
Tim immediately headed to the back of the store to avoid looking at junk food or snacks or trinkets littered throughout the store. Fridge after fridge, Tim took a potential drink out looked at it for a moment in the flickering light over head and then put it back again to look at another one. After so many drinks Tim finally settled on a random drink he'd always seen but never tried. As he grabbed a water for Chris, Tim closed the door with an audible slam and at the same time the light over head gave for a few extra seconds that seemed to drag on before coming back on again slightly dimmer then before. <******** s**t hole" Tim mumbled to himself as he started to the front of the store only turning around upon hearing a door behind him pop open. Tim glanced at it suspiciously for a second before backing up and closing it, causing another door a couple of fridges over to pop open. Tim stared at the new door for a couple of seconds debating on to close it or not, before giving in and pushing it closed, only to cause yet another door to pop open. Compelled, like he wasn't in control of his own body Tim went back and forth closing each door that popped open after one closed. Finally Tim managed to stretch his body out so that he covered all five of the fridges at the same time making all the doors close at the same time. Successful and proud of himself Tim finally made his way to the unmanned front of the store
"Hello!" Tim called out trying to get whoever was workings attention so he could pay, get out, and regale Chris with his experience. After a moment of silence he called out again this time louder.
"Guess that means I get the drinks for free." Tim said to himself as he pulled the drinks off the counter and headed for the door, stopping halfway outside by the lights going out again coming on again a few seconds later stronger then before. Tim let the door close behind him as he stood in the open air looking around slightly bewildered.
"You okay over there Champ?" An unfamiliar voice called over to him from where he and Chris where. Tim shook his head and and walked over to find Chris and The owner of the new voice staring at him,
"Yeah no, I'm fine. Just, I don't know ******** weird, lights went out." Tim managed to say after a moment as of trying to get his words straight. Tim looked the new guy over and couldn't make out any apparent features, he was wear a dark vested hooded jacket, the hood was up so it shaded his face, all he could make out was a fine stubble, a pair of jeans and sneakers.
"Right." The guy said after a moment. "I didn't notice. Any sorry about the wait Chris, I was out of town heading back when you called, and I got stuck in ******** traffic."
"No it's all good we weren't here to long before you showed up. Anyway thanks for hooking us up on such short notice. We should probably get going though we've been out here long enough for whoever's working to get suspicious of us."
"Alright man, I'll talk to you later." He said as they shook hands, he turned and gave time a slight nod as he started to back away and disappeared into the woods that where behind the store.
"Didn't he just say he was in a car or something?" Tim asked after he was sure that the dealer couldn't hear him.
"Man I don't ******** know. I don't even think he knows where he is half the time anymore. You get my water?"
"Oh yeah, here." Tim slapped the bottle into Chris' chest. "On the house, I called to the ******** clerk like two times and he never showed."
