Two - From Darkness I Come
Tuesday, 10. June 2008, 08:25:45
It's stopped.
I can't feel the motion anymore. Have we arrived? Is there a 'we'? It's just dark and quiet now...wait, what was that noise? A bang not too far away...sounded like metal on metal, somewhere above me. It bangs again, and again, filling my prison with sound and making me wish to somehow cover my ears.
Now there's a screeching, scraping sound which makes me clench my teeth, and then suddenly voices.
"Is this all of them?"
"It had better be. Gustavo won't be pleased if we missed another truck."
"Better get in there and count them."
"Lights on first. You remember what happened to Yuri."
"Poor bastard. Ok, they're on."
They are? I still can't see a thing. I squint and blink a few times, but still not even a glimmer.
"48...49...50, ok, we got the lot. Let's get them into the plane."
A few minutes pass, then suddenly light appears in front of me as one of them lifts the box that unbeknownst to me was blocking my sight. I blink furiously, trying to see. As things come into focus, i find an enormous bearded face looking right at me.
"Holy shit, this one's alive!"

Is it a human? I wanna know! The suspense is killing me!

I wonder when the next part will appear!

*comes up with a convoluted spoon bending version of the plot*
Of course! It's so simple.

Are you sure you wouldn't rather tell us the one about Goldilocks?
(No, that was scary too.)
Red Riding Hood!
(No, I forgot the wolf.)
Um, Hansel and Gretel?
(No, what am I thinking?)
Sorry, Mart. Go ahead.

I'd probably have posted the third part yesterday, but an unholy alliance of both Opera being down and my phone's data connection being the worst it's ever been rather spoilt my mood.
Monday is more likely, now
