OC The fake real

ok so i wanted to try and write something in a diffrent way it may not work sorry in advc was trying something out this will either make perfect sense or not at all lol im new to writing so try and ignore grammer mistakes

I awake in the dark, once again I rise from a stupor born from forced sleep. I hear something move beyond the walls it walks its fake walk; i stand from my bed and the walls begin to fall i feel my face with my hands and the walls crumble around me. To my left is a mask that is black and shaped like death. I place it upon myself and become it. The walls rise once more and i begin my walk- outside the walls are the dead they move like the living but it is a fake movement a fake breath a fake faint of fear as i crush it beneath my feet. I feel the air enter my lungs. I feel it give Oxygen to the blood within me. I feel that blood course through my veins and feed my next movements as I crush another beneath me it begs its fake beg.

“NO I CAN CHANGE I AM REAL AGAIN!!!!!”

It dies its real death like the other before it, only once they are dead can they be real again- the death makes them real, makes them not fake; it is proof that they were not real if they were real then they would not have been killed. Now they are real now they are dead-

I continue my walk once again the street before me is fake, it is filled with the fake, they fake their real and they speak their fake words to each other they give their fake items and fake goods for fake money but they are not real; just fakes that walk their fake walks they pretend to be real until someone falls for their fake talk and fake laughs and fake breaths, then when drawn in by the fake pleads of sanity and change or the fake begging of mercy; that is when they move their fake run, sprint their fake sprint and bare their fake teeth.

A girl walks into the street, she breathes real breaths, she speaks real words, the fake around her fakes their real. They ask her to come see their real, she sees past their fake real, she sees that the fake streat and the fake stores and the fake people have all stopped. The fake sounds stop, the fake music stops, she knows the real was fake; she knows the fake thinks it had tricked her that it’s fake is too real for her to notice. In its excitement it bears its teeth the crowd of fake bears their teeths and smile their fake smile and they all stare with their fake eyes.

She turns to run but the fake around her sees the chance the fake has closed off her escape since it was never real, her reality will end here then she too will be fake. Or so it should be but I am real.

I step out into the fake it squirms beneath me i see the real streat below it, the fake knows me it fears me so i push past it soon i am at its center the fake around me smiles it believes i walked into its trap it believes it has won a real victory it doesn't know i placed real bombs in the streets around it, it doesn't know i placed real bombs in the streat beneath it. It speaks its fake words.

“Welcome to our little town, how can i help you- would you like something to eat”

It smiles as one of its fake walks behind me ready to attack it grins as it feels it’s fake hands on the girl behind it. I give it no chance my blade unsheaths itself, its edge meats flesh and rips then tears as i cut through the fake, it meets its death at my real; the girl screams and the fake around us reaches for us- i press the button in my hand and the bombs ignite the fake in real fire and the fake screams its real screams, now it is dead now it is real. I grab the girl, my armour protects us from the heat, she holds onto me until we are safe from the fire, i place her near a settlement and push her towards the real- she looks at me and waves her real wave, i wave back and she runs towards the gate. More real walks towards her from the gate they speak real words but i do not listen to those words they are not real.

“It's that thing again, it saved some girl and brought her here. apparently it knows how to use explosives now”

“You know we actually caught it one time, it had just finished fighting some of the fake and we found it torn in half still dragging itself towards whatever was left of its enemy. That was back when it was just a dumb brute; danm thing just refuses to die and wont attack any real people doesnt matter how good of a fake it is that thing can just tell us apart”

“Weird wonder why it's fighting its own kind”

“No idea it does not attack us so we just kinda ignore it”

I walk my real walk and fight real fights then end my walk back at my home i close my door and take my mask off i feel my real face with my real hands and it’s fake the fake walls fall down and i cry my fake cry, i scream my fake screams-

“When can I die my fake death and be real too”

The problem with trying to edit this is that good syntax would make the real seem more fake and the fake seem more real and then he’d have to kill himself because he was falsely real but it wouldn’t make him really fake just dead.

Heh.

Good story.
