It All Started When… Monday, February 24th, 2003
…David’s suitemate apparently told David he was aging pretty fast. David is apparently mentally, physically, and even emotionally drained. He is so drained that at this point in his life he has never been this drained before. And it all started with his Math32 class. He walked in, as thousands of faces stared at him uninpendingly. That’s right, David’s thoughts make up words. Anyway, he sat down beside a guy whose face never seemed to be shown. The light somehow darkened around his face. As David brought out his 5-Star notebook, the guy grabbed a hold of David’s shoulder and spoke into his ear: “You think it starts here….just wait two fortnights, you will be drained……..” and then David looked over to the guy and he was never there.
David left Math32, running in desperation back to his dorm to play Xbox, his favorite gaming console. David loves Microsoft and can’t get enough of Xbox. Hoping that it would get his mind of the shady figure, David put in some Dead or Alive Volleyball and played a couple of rounds. Then he went to bed. Waking up, David went to Math32 the next day. He has Math32 everyday of the week including Sunday. He loves math so much he just had to have it. Anyway, David went months without seeing the figure. Then, out of nowhere, David’s suitemate said he started to look older. David hadn’t noticed because after all, he sees himself everyday. Sort of like you don’t notice if you have gained weight or lost it. David went back to his dorm after the comment and looked in the mirror. His skin was hanging off his bones. He couldn’t believe it. David tried to pick up his bookbag to go to Math32 again, but his arms wouldn’t let him. The lactic acid built up in his body like heat builds up in his Taurus. He couldn’t help it. He passed out. Waking up the next day, David learned that Duke, his favorite college basketball team, lost their game. Everything was going wrong. He lost his job at Kentucky Fried Chicken, his best job yet. He loved scooping potato salad out with ice cream scoops. Gone. All gone. David looked into the sky in desperation. Something had to be going right. Then he remembered…StarCraft was being released for console! He rejoiced, as he hates StarCraft games on PC and enjoyed the Nintendo 64 version greatly. After all, one thing was going right. RAISE HELL David thought. I’m going to go get some whores and get shitfaced. He went out, torched some Myst books, his own personal worst book series, and threw down four bottles of Bacardi 151. He had his laptop and played some Unreal Tournament on his GeForce 4 Go. Then, after being seriously shitfaced, David went back to his dorm. The shady faced man was wating. He pushed david down and said “I know why you are tired david. I am draining your energy.” And with that, he raised his hands and started to zap David’s energy. LIFE FORCE……..DRAINING David cried out. No one was there to help. Then, after a lengthy session of life force drainage, the man erased David’s memory, and today David still doesn’t know why he is so tired.
