In the night of the 13rd June 2335 in Neo York (a colony of the Earth located in the Polaris Sector). The newly arrived city engineer Johnny Realm began to walk across the Central Giant Geo Park better known as the CGG, to look for potential places of construction works as the city demanded him to do some than other change or roads to the park. Johnny night passed away quite peacefully until some stranger coming out of nowhere bumped up to him.
“Sorry pal. My fault” says the stranger as he walks away in a rush to the opposite direction.
Johnny no stranger to be a victim to the art of pick pocketing, he rapidly reaches into every pocket of his jacket in look of his wallet, which in fact was missing for Johnny´s bad luck. Almost instantaneously, Johnny began to sprint in the same direction that the guy how bumped him was headed. Observing all his surrounding with meticulous eyes, in look for the pickpocket, he sees the guy heading into a corner along with some other unknown man. Like a predator catching up with his prey, Johnny runs to their location decided to everything to get his wallet back, but he not was prepared for what he saw as he caught up with the wallet thief.
The guy who stole his wallet was sitting down in the floor in what it was a state of desperation and horror covering his throat, which was shooting blood all over the floor, trying to reach the other guy, who is there on his knees, seeing with a creepy smile on his face, how the poor bastard was bleeding to dead.
After 5 seconds, that appear to be a lifetime, the thief stop moving and let out a weak whisper.
The Man on his knees looks a Johnny wallet and with a heavy and scary voice says: “That´s what happen when you cross somebody that you are not mean to cross, you will turn into food for a predator like me. A fun punishment indeed, don’t you think, Johnny?”
Johnny with his hands shaking and a broken voice try his best to speak. “Lo…look pal… I didn't see anything… I sw…swear it. You don't have to do anything… crazy… you... You know?”
The Man standing up, put his hand in one of his pockets and take out what seems a really sharp combat knife, and he pointed out to Johnny with it as he corrects him. “But you did, you really did see what happen. I have to get rid of you now.”
Johnny completely paralyzed because of the overwhelming sensation of fear and dread, can only look at The Man´s knife like a terrified prey that knows that his time is up. The Man sees Johnny trembling in fear, and he left out a brief sigh, then he slowly lowers the knife and after a second of silence says. “This is no fun at all. Uhmm, Maybe, just maybe, this will turn on to be fun, IF I know how to do it right.” He scratch his head for a second and then joyfully adds. “Tell you what Johnny boy, you can run, I will give you 2 minutes of advantage. What do you think of that?”
Johnny still paralyzed and no knowing what to do in this situation, try to pledge for mercy.
“I… I…. I, no want to die”
“Then run.” The Man raise his knife again “Last chance of getting the advantage asshole.” Frustrate because of Johnny’s inability to act, The Man loses his patience and tries to attack Johnny as he screams. “Run you fucking prick. I like to play with my food. HAHAHAHAHA”
Johnny finally reacts in time to avoid being stabbed and run as fast as he can across the park looking to get out of there alive, just thinking: “Run! Run! Goddammit, stupid legs of mine, move faster. I have to keep moving, try to put some distance between him and me or else I will be as extinct as a fucking Frellian seacow.”
“JOHNNY BOY, I SEE YOU. YOU CAN STOP RUNNING NOW!”
“Fuck! He is getting closer. How that bastard knows where to go? I barely know where I am in this fucking park, I have to be smart right now, not just running around like a lunatic, maybe, if I turn on this corner” after turning in that corner Johnny could see a straight path to the exit, leading to the street adjacent to the gift store of the park. “Shit, there is the exit. I was right, FUCK I WAS ACTUALLY RIGHT HAHAHAHAHA. I AM SAVE.”
“Maybe you try to be quieter next time, is so much easy to follow you and predict your movement this way, you know?” says The Man leaning against the wall of the gift shop like nothing was going on. “FUCK JOHNNY, THIS IS NOT FUCKING FUN! DO IT BETTER GODDAMN IT!”
“LEAVE ME ALONE!!” Johnny frightened and the same time surprised by the presence of The Man throws a punch and lands it right on The Man nose, which make his balance falter. “HAHAHA. That is more like it. GAME ON JOHNNY BOY.”
Johnny still on the run to the exit, realizes something very important to him. "The Man….he…he faltered. He is only human, that means I have a possibility of defeating him… and to survive this shit, fuck, maybe some idea had popped up right now, if I were not busy running like a pussy away of this guy” planning and adaptation. He was entirely forgettable that was his superpower, well kind of.
“I have to run to where the other guy was murdered, he maybe had something that I could use, a gun, a knife, fuck even a telephone, I leave mine in the apartment.”
Johnny arriving to the place where the man robbed his wallet, returns in his footsteps to find again the place where The Man killed the thief. After a moment he sees the body of the thief, still in the floor like some kind of twisted carpet. He desperately and kind of grossed out reach into the thief pockets in look of something of use. He found a switchblade but nothing else.
“Johnny, Johnny, what did I say about being predictable huh? You really want to survive against my hunger or what?” says The Man give a telephone on his hand, showing it up to Johnny like a pun of some kind.
Johnny, now on edge because of everything finally lose his mind and shouted to The Man: “WHAT IS WHAT YOU WANT? DO YOU WANT TO FUCKING EAT ME HUH? YOU PERVERTED FUCK, WHY?”
The Man shrugs his shoulders and says clearly as day: “Because, why not? Some ancient people say that makes you even stronger, that the human flesh is very fucking good to the body, but for me, Johnny boy it's pretty simple, all of you taste delicious HAHAHAHA”
Johnny grossed out and completely reckless form reply: “I am a man of very short temper, and I am so FUCKING DONE with you.” Johnny´s body was tense like expecting something to develop. “Well Johnny, there is only a way to end this, and that is: if you kill me before I kill you. You follow?” says The Man licking in a most disturbing way his combat knife. “That the predator wins and eats his weak prey”. Johnny still unsure of how he was going to win, but still he prepared to a fight that maybe be his last. “That is the spirit Johnny boy.”
Johnny obviously a newcomer of what to do in a Knife´s fight, managed to dodge most of the stabs of The Man and giving some stabs on his own. “Well boy, you really had a thing for this…. Or just pure stupid luck” The Man know that Johnny was starting to lose his control, making every attack with more intent to kill than the other. That is why he had to end this quickly. “Well this was really fun, I think that I even burn some calories with our little game, but is over Johnny boy.” In a swift move, The Man manages to stab Johnny in the chest the most lethal way. Johnny with no more strength left in him, drops the switchblade and with all that was left inside of him, left out a faint whisper: “Bast….tard”. Leaving Johnny lifeless body alongside the other one, with a sense of proud of his voice says: “You really make it fun, you were a worthy prey in the end.” He grab one arm of each other, and starts to drag the bodies, leaving a trail of blood, that why every inch was disappearing of the pavement and leaving no clues for nobody to find.
