“Nuclear bomb-- Sector E4Y N9H, --- Extraction --- Sector E4Y N0G --” That was all Warren heard before the transmission was cut, and the old radio died. He looked around in shock before rolling out of his makeshift bed, he sighed when he noticed the small figure sleeping in a tree above him. “Audrey, get up, We might finally escape this hell-hole!” Warren yelled, forgetting to keep his voice down out of pure excitement. Audrey fell out of the tree she was sleeping in, she was supposed to be on guard duty. “Huh, what?!” She squealed, rolling to her feet. As she stood up and looked around wildly, she swung her rusty Colt Python around like she had been attacked. They stood in silence as Audrey glared at Warren, If looks could kill… he thought. …show more content…

“He was probably going to have finished you off if I didn’t show up. Just be glad you’re still alive.” Warren surveyed the corridor, looking for anything of use. “Why did you save me? I’m better off dead now that I have nobody to protect me…” She was clearly begging for Warren’s help, even giving him puppy-dog eyes. “Find a weapon and follow me,” Warren suggests, picking up a large antique golf-club off the ground. I can’t believe someone still has one of these, he thinks. “For your information, my name is Audrey, not little girl.” She said, walking over to her father’s corpse, fumbling around with something in his bag. A few minutes later Audrey stands back up, holding a rusty old Colt Python over her head proudly. “What’s that you’ve found?” Warren questioned. “I think it’s called a gun, it shoots things.” Audrey replied, beaming warmly at Warren. “We should get out of here, we’re bound to find more of those things eventually.” Warren hefted the golf-club over his shoulder, and walking towards the hotel doors. Present time, June 30th, 2125, 1700 hours. Warren crouched behind a line of debris, listening for the sounds of approaching footsteps.

Standing tall in all black; blazer, bow tie, socks, Balmoral shoes, with the button up also to be corresponding. He appears seemingly endless like a black shadowed character made up to startle young children. The opposing sniper moves as if he is the actual Slender Man. As he stands as a vacuous man, I conjure my scheme to vanish him.

    Just a night. An ordinary night, around fifteen to eleven o’clock. I lay there playing with my xacto knife kit. It belonged to my Grandfather’s aunt. So I guess that’s my great great aunt. Well anyways I finally set aside my kit and started to try and sleep. I’m at my grandparents house in the Fairfax District of Los Angeles. The house? Why it’s a classic Spanish themed home built precisely in 1929. At the end of a Golden Era: The Roaring Twenties. So as I turn to closed eyes I see a boy. A young Hasidic Jewish boy. He looks around the age of eight or nine and asks me in a seemingly cute creepily voice Have you seen my family? I asked what family. The family that seems to be missing.
