Topic > The Hunter - 1107

-The night was full of darkness, which made the darkness become even more darkness. The headlights would cut through the night like a rapier and the final silence would be broken by the scream of the horses under the hood and the boom of Devildriver's "I Dreamed I Died" in the vehicle system. I could barely keep my eyes open, the nightmares were almost too much lately. The twisted faces that laugh are twisted laughs, dark figures watching over me as if waiting for my last breath so they can pounce like hungry lions. But they can wait, it's like I told the Delta guys. Let's not die tonight! Shit, heaven doesn't want me, and it's scared as hell that I might take over anyway. I could see some lights piercing through the thick darkness ahead of me, it looks like a roadside motel. Maybe a truck stop.--Entering the parking lot I glanced at the place once or twice, checked out the surroundings. It appeared to be a motel with a diner on the side, I would park towards the outskirts of the parameter so I could keep the vehicle hidden. On my way out I took another quick look around, there was nothing that looked out of the ordinary so I retrieved the lighter and lit the cigarette hanging loosely from my lips. The embers glowed neon cherry red in the darkness, exhaling smoke. I pulled the hood of my jacket up over my head and started moving. Every movement was graceful, but every step had a purpose behind it. Upon entering the main office I would find an old man waiting behind the desk, he was completely oblivious to my presence, caught up in his encore of the Western Channel film festival, I would speak openly, my voice harsh but smooth at the same time. [color=400000]” Give me a room old man………… middle of paper……I got off my shift, they told me what you did at the dinner. I just wanted to say thank you." the words seemed quite heartfelt, nodding to them a smile would slowly creep onto my lips. [color=400000]"Don't worry, some people give shit and some people take it... Then there are people like me who then clean everything up." [/color]came closer, grabbing me by the neck and kissing my lips softly. "You didn't have to do that though, most wouldn't have done it." she smiled and backed away “Thank you..” were the last words he said to me before disappearing into the darkness of the parking lot. Still a little confused by the kiss, I simply closed the door, closing it again and walked towards the bed, putting the gun under the pillow. I would stay there for a few moments close my eyes and drift away, maybe the nightmares won't find me tonight.
