ON THE WINGS OF THE NIGHT

By Aleksandar Janjic

 

When David Peterson stepped out of the building, everything seemed strange. The street, the passengers, the buildings simply weren’t creating the “right” impression.

“It’s probably because of this darn high temperature” David thought, but he couldn’t even convince himself, let alone us.

He looked up. The sky was grey everywhere, but the darkest grey was behind the church tower to the west. It looked like a giant storm was finding it’s way towards Springleton.

It was windy. The trees were alive and fallen leaves were flying over the street. David put his hands in his pockets and crossed the street.

In Alissa Johnson’s bedroom something horrible was about to happen. The parents had found out about her cutting classes and bad grades. Now they were sitting next to her bed and she moved to the corner, as if trying to escape. She was holding a pillow in her hands, the small cute pillow she got as a present for her second birthday. Looking at her in that position would make anyone feel sorry, except her parents.

“Honey” her mother said in a silent voice “you have to talk to us. What’s wrong?”

“Nothing’s wrong… I… I… OK, I did cut a few classes, but it’s no big deal, really, all the kids in my class do it occasionaly…”

“You stupid bitch!” her father interrupted. “Just because everyone else is doing it, doesn’t mean it’s good! You pathetic little moron! I despise you!”

“Honey, take it easy, please…”

“You shut up, too, you old whore! You’re no better than this perverted scum of our daughter! I feel sorry for you, you ramblomatic bloody idiot!”

“Ramblomatic?? What the hell was that suppose to mean? You insult like sissy! I bet you’re gay!”

“No I’m not.”

“Shut up!”

“OK.”

“Hey look, our little daughter escaped!”

“Screw her.”

“Don’t you think we were a bit hard on her? I mean, she’s only three years old.”

“Hey, speaking of hard… Since she left, now we’re alone in here and we can have sex!”

“Cool idea! But I have a better one: Let’s beat the crap out of each other.”

“Great, let’s do it!”

Having said that, the father (we will call him Jason for the remainder of this document) hit his wife (Sandra) in the eye, using his left fist. She flew through the room and hit the bookcase, bringing it down right on her head.

“Good move” she said, removing tons of knowledge from her back. Now she pulled a shotgun from her pocket and pointed it at him.

“You know that old saying: It never rains around here, but I’m gonna blow your head off!”

“You don’t have the balls to shoot!”

“Oh yeah?”

She fired a 1265347 shots straight in his chest. But he was too fast. Using that Bullet Time™ effect he slowed down the time, and then walked through the forest of bullets with a pipe in his mouth. When he reached her, the Bullet Time stopped, the bullets went through the window and killed some innocent children on the street.

“Hey, you killed some innocent children on the street!” he said.

“No, I didn’t! They are not dead, they are undead!”

And really, in a few moments a great number of children vampires were knocking at the door. But Jason and Sandra didn’t care. They had to kill each other.

Sandra whistled. Out of their bedroom their pet, pig Genghis-Khan, appeared. It was a very weird name for a pig, because it was female. Hahahahahaha! Anyway, Genghis-Khan was a nice pig. She was sleeping in bed with Jason and Sandra. They claimed just because they sleep with their pig, doesn’t mean they have sex with her.

So, the pig approached Sandra and stood by her side. Really, she stood. She put her front leg around Sandra’s shoulder. From this perspective it was easily the tallest pig in the entire Universe. She was about three meters (or almost seven feet, if you hate metric system) taller than Sandra.

“What the f***???” Jason said. “You’re not going to turn my favorite pig against me, are you?”

“Shut up, asshole!” said the pig, put a hat on her head and suddenly two pistols appeared in her… (what?)… Anyway, she was holding two guns. And therefore, Jason was at gunpoint.
