The Carrier: Difference between revisions

When I woke up, I would've never guessed that it was the day my life would change forever. I looked out of my window like I always did when I woke up. Immediately, I noticed something off. There was a skinny tree sticking straight up from the ground. Yet the oddest thing about it was the lack of life. There was no bark or leaves. I knew I had to cut it down eventually or it would be a constant eyesore, so I decided after writing class that I'd chop it down. I was planning on leaving at 12:00; not for any wacko schedule reasons, but there's the teacher that I sort of had a high school crush on teaching at that time. To tell the truth, I took the whole class just to see her. After I'd eaten breakfast and thrown on some clothes, I drove my run-down truck to the complex where the class was held.

 

 

It literally exploded the axes blade and the tree was still nothing but a sprout. I shrugged off the experience and decided that I'd use my employee discount at the Home Depot, which could change the price of an item like a chainsaw from $50 to $5. If I bought it I'd either have to skip my dinner date with Marrisa, or wait till the next day. I chose the latter, obviously. Work was pretty boring as usual, so I hurried home only to find that the tree had grown to the size of a 10 year old oak. I decided that I'd deal with it later and quickly took a shower and threw on my best clothes.

While I was unconscious, a man who said he was The Messenger told me if I wanted to live, I had to take a person by force and sacrifice them, and when they were dead, I needed to chant an ancient ritual to bring them back as a slave.
